I would start Loveland with the utmost confidence. Loveland was involved in the rushing attack, and Ben Johnson has lived on a credo of "no block, no rock," so there is a sense that Loveland is going to be rewarded in the passing game.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Start Loveland with utmost confidence in Week 2 despite Week 1 zero; matchup and scheme favor him.

Despite scoring zero fantasy points in Week 1 despite playing alongside Caleb Williams (the highest-scoring fantasy QB that week), the source expresses unwavering confidence in starting Loveland in Week 2. Loveland was involved in the rushing attack; Ben Johnson's offensive philosophy emphasizes "no block, no rock," suggesting Loveland will be rewarded in the passing game. Against Minnesota Vikings DC Brian Flores, who blitzed heavily against Green Bay last week, the Bears' tight ends (Loveland and Cole Kmet combined) should see increased opportunities. Johnson's teams have averaged 27.5 points in six games against Flores and hold a 5-1 record. The source used a fifth- or fourth-round pick on Loveland in most drafts and maintains conviction despite the Week 1 goose egg.
