From the article

Including the playoffs, Loveland was targeted on 23—a higher rate than Warren—with an aDOT of 10. Not only was his aDOT far higher than Warren's, but it was also the highest among all tight ends (min. 300 routes). Loveland operated like a true WR1 down the stretch, while Warren played a more traditional, high-volume tight end role.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Loveland's elite target rate and 10.0 aDOT (highest among TEs) justify premium over Warren.

Loveland was targeted on a higher rate than Tyler Warren, with an aDOT of 10—the highest among all tight ends (min. 300 routes). Loveland operated like a true WR1 down the stretch, while Warren played a more traditional, high-volume tight end role. This makes Loveland a superior value compared to Warren at similar draft cost.
