Fantasy Life Articles on Colston Loveland
From the article
In his rookie season, he flashed as TE2 or better in four games. He's shown that he's capable of being a big playmaker on Chicago's offense that saw a resurgence last season. What's more exciting is how his role expanded in Chicago during their final five games. Loveland saw a 29% target share during that span, and usage in Chicago has made it clear that he's capable of putting up 90-yard games with TDs to boot. Loveland is currently projected to surpass his rookie numbers with a 2026 projection of 79-912-8, making him Fantasy Life's consensus TE3 behind only Brock Bowers and Trey McBride.
STACKED’s take
Loveland's 29% target share in final five games supports TE3 projection; ADP 41 justified.
Loveland is a sky-high sophomore TE prospect with expanded role and usage in Chicago. In his rookie season, he flashed as TE2 or better in four games and showed capability as a big playmaker. Most notably, during Chicago's final five games, Loveland saw a 29% target share, demonstrating usage that supports 90-yard games with TDs. His 2026 projection of 79 receptions, 912 yards, and 8 TDs makes him Fantasy Life's consensus TE3 behind only Brock Bowers and Trey McBride, surpassing his rookie numbers. Cooterdoodle notes that drafting a TE at pick 41 (consensus ADP 41.4) feels steep until you realize the high price matches high upside, and emphasizes that Ben Johnson's TEs are consistently productive.
