Colston Loveland: 85–95 receptions, 1,050–1,200 yards, 9–12 touchdowns...He exploded late in his rookie year (including playoffs) with heavy target shares and elite efficiency when given a full role. Now in year two of Johnson's tight-end-friendly scheme, and with him firmly in place as TE1 from game 1, could push him toward 1,000+ yards and double-digit scores, potentially challenging franchise tight end receiving marks and contending for the overall TE1 fantasy spot.

Positive signalProjection

Loveland's late-rookie explosion and TE1 role support Bowers-level production and TE1 contention.

The source projects Colston Loveland for 85–95 receptions, 1,050–1,200 yards, and 9–12 touchdowns in 2026. He exploded late in his rookie year (including playoffs) with heavy target shares and elite efficiency when given a full role; now in year two of Johnson's tight-end-friendly scheme and firmly in place as TE1 from game 1, he could post a season placing him in the company of Brock Bowers in tight end production, potentially challenging franchise tight end receiving marks and contending for the overall TE1 fantasy spot.
