0:00If they actually center the offense
0:01around him, oh my goodness, the upside
0:04he could be the number one tight end. If
0:06I don't get Brock Bowers, I am trying my
0:09absolute hardest to get Colston Loveland
0:11in round four. I genuinely think that
0:13Loveland is the guy that Ben Johnson is
0:16going to center the offense around this
0:18season. He is an absolute nightmare
0:21match up for defenses. And last season
0:25with Brock Bowers, teams are like,
0:27"Okay,
0:28um well, quarterback plays bad and you
0:30have no wide receivers. So, we're just
0:31going to put our top corner on Brock
0:33Bowers." And that makes it more
0:35difficult when he also has a knee
0:36injury, right? So, it made it really
0:37difficult for him last year. You can't
0:39do that against Bears. I mean, they have
0:40a Dunnsay, they have Luther Burden.
0:42There's no one taking their top corner
0:43and putting it on Colston Loveland. So,
0:45he's basically going to be their number
0:47one wide receiver going against like
0:50slot corners and linebackers. And if
0:52they actually center the offense around
0:54him, oh my goodness, the upside he could
0:56be the number one tight end. So, I want
0:58Bowers to start. If I don't get him, I
1:01am taking Colston Loveland. That's why
1:02they're number one and two in my
1:04ownership right now. Also, uh I
1:06mentioned this very early in the year.
1:08Uh Chicago has a brutal schedule this
1:10season. They play a lot of really good
1:11teams and their defense is not that
1:13good. So, we could get a ton of
1:16shootouts in Chicago. Loveland is the
1:18player where he's getting significant
1:20volume. He's used as a mismatch, used in
1:23the red zone, just used all across the
1:24field to where plays are designed to go
1:27to him. If you're getting, you know,
1:29wide receiver one production from a
1:30tight end,
1:32I mean, you're just smashing people on
1:34that positional advantage every week.
