TE2 down the stretch; consensus TE3 with 80+ catches, 900+ yards.

Loveland could break the tight end position. He went on a tear over the back-half of 2025, finishing as fantasy's TE2 from Weeks 9 through 18 with a 22.3% target share (TE12) and 10.3 fantasy points per game as a rookie. He enters 2026 as ESPN's consensus TE3, projected to haul in at least 80 balls for over 900 yards and upwards of six scores. He's presently being drafted in the fifth round at ADP 44.0. Premier tight ends have regularly stunted the production of their team's lead wideouts, making Loveland the surest virtual bet among Chicago's "Big Three" pass-catchers.
