FantasyPros Articles on Colston Loveland
From the article
Sure, Colston Loveland disappointed last season if you only look at his overall stats as the TE15 in fantasy points per game, but that was because he was languishing in a part-time role for most of the season. It wasn't until after Week 15 that Loveland was consistently featured as a full-time member of the offense. In Weeks 16-20, he exploded as the Bears' WR1 with a 25.6% target share, 81.6 receiving yards per game, 2.49 yards per route run, a 34% first-read share, 0.116 first downs per route run, and 17.2 PPR points per game.
STACKED’s take
Loveland's late-season elite efficiency projects to TE1 contention with Moore gone.
Derek Brown notes Loveland disappointed as TE15 in fantasy points per game last season only because he languished in part-time role for most of season; not until after Week 15 was he consistently featured as full-time member; in Weeks 16-20, exploded as Bears' WR1 with 25.6% target share, 81.6 receiving yards per game, 2.49 yards per route run, 34% first-read share, 0.116 first downs per route run, and 17.2 PPR points per game; if produced like that entire season, would have rivaled Trey McBride for TE1; those Weeks 16-20 numbers ranked first in target share, first in yards per route run, fourth in receiving yards per game, first in first-read share, fourth in first downs per route run, and second in PPR points per game among tight ends with 20+ targets; compared to McBride's 2025 and Bowers' 2024, Loveland would beat both in every category except PPR points per game; with D.J. Moore gone, only Rome Odunze and Luther Burden compete for top target spot; could easily pick up where he left off and compete with Brock Bowers and Trey McBride for TE1 crown.
