Loveland crossed the 50% route rate threshold by his fifth game. By the end of the season, he was a full-time player (+80% route-per-dropback rate). Plus, the rookie TE challenged the WRs for looks, as he went over a 20% target share in five games. His ranks in the per-route metrics (1st in YPRR, 2nd in 1D/RR) already had him at the top of his position designation.
