It's not hard to see a ceiling where Williams hits on all cylinders at the same time Colston Loveland and Luther Burden III make big jumps at the same time. If this happens, the Bears could have two fantasy WR1s as producers in an offense that's multiple and the hardest unit to stop in the NFL.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Loveland projected as TE1 and top-10 WR in 2026 Bears offense.

Waldman's bold prediction for 2026 is that Loveland will be fantasy's TE1 and a top-10 WR. Waldman projects a ceiling where Loveland and Cole Kmet combine for 1,700-1,800 yards and 14-16 scores if Caleb Williams hits on all cylinders. Loveland is positioned as a versatile big-play option in Ben Johnson's multiple offense, which aims to be the 2020s version of the Greatest Show on Turf. The comparison is to the 2011 New England Patriots, where Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez combined for 2,237 yards and 24 scores with Tom Brady throwing for 5,235 yards and 39 scores.
