From the article

The glass-half-full outlook for Loveland is that he ran the most routes of any Bears pass-catcher (29). But Cole Kmet's utility as a receiver and blocker is like catnip to a play-caller like Johnson.

Loveland's route volume doesn't translate to targets; Kmet's role creates uncertainty.

Loveland ran the most routes of any Bears pass-catcher (29), but his 7.7% target share and 10.3% air yard share lag behind expectations. Cole Kmet's utility as a receiver and blocker appeals to HC Ben Johnson's play-calling style, suggesting Loveland may be part of a rotation rather than a featured target. The source gives Loveland another week but warns fantasy managers to be on high alert about his role.
