In Weeks 16-20, he exploded as the Bears' WR1 with a 25.6% target share, 81.6 receiving yards per game...If Loveland had produced like that over the course of the entire season, he would have given Trey McBride a run for his money as the TE1 in fantasy.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Loveland's late-season efficiency (25.6% target share, 17.2 PPR/game) rivals McBride and Bowers.

Derek Brown notes Loveland disappointed as TE15 in fantasy points per game last season only because he was in a part-time role for most of the year. After Week 15, Loveland exploded as the Bears' WR1 with a 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. Those final-five-week numbers would have ranked first, first, fourth, first, fourth, and second among tight ends with 20+ targets, and would have beaten both Trey McBride's 2025 season and Brock Bowers' 2024 campaign in every category except fantasy points per game. With D.J. Moore gone, Loveland has only Rome Odunze and Luther Burden to compete with for the top target spot in Chicago.
