From the episode
The first half for Colston Loveland, do you know where he ranked among tight ends? 50th. He was the 50th tight end in the first half. He had 17 total points in the first eight games of the season. The way he was used more vertically downfield as a true number one receiver. Because Warren was more of a dump-off run-after-catch guy. And Loveland was running legit receiver routes.
STACKED’s take
TE50 first half (17 pts); late-season surge vs weak defenses; ceiling play with Williams
Ranked 50th among tight ends in the first half of the season (17 total points in 8 games) due to a shoulder injury that caused him to miss OTAs, minicamp, and combine workouts. The source argues that 55% of Loveland's fantasy points came against the three worst defenses (Bengals, 49ers, Lions), suggesting his late-season surge may not be repeatable. However, was used more vertically downfield as a true number-one receiver in the second half of the season, running legitimate receiver routes rather than dump-off/run-after-catch plays, and was the second-best tight end from week nine onward. Could be Caleb Williams' favorite target under Ben Johnson's offense, suggesting ceiling upside with bigger games (e.g., 130-yard performances). Uncertainty exists around how the Bears' offense will look with Roma Dunze, Luther Burden, and Loveland all healthy, and Caleb Williams' volatility adds risk.
