Loveland was acquired by Pianowski in a trade as a TE1 with plenty of upside for the rest of the season. The Bears' second-year tight end has a very favorable second-half schedule, making him a significant upgrade over Juwan Johnson at the position.

After a slow start with zero receptions in week 1 and just five total catches through three weeks, Loveland has emerged as a top-tier tight end option over the last two games, posting at least six catches, 65 yards, and a touchdown in each; he finished as TE4 and TE3 in those respective weeks and is positioned for another top-6 finish despite traveling to Seattle in week 8.

The buy-low window on Loveland has likely passed, but there's still a good chance he could be acquired for less than his rest-of-season value truly is. He profiles as a top-four option at the position in Week 8 even in a difficult matchup against the Seahawks.

Loveland's route and snap share just became more secure with Cole Kmet landing on IR. While he may be on the field to block more, the fact remains that he should be on the field more going forward.

Colston Loveland's target share has surged dramatically, averaging 25.8% over his last 4 games after posting 8%, 7%, and 12% in the first three weeks, including 38% on Thursday night against the Patriots. He caught 7 of 12 targets for 69 yards and a touchdown, registering a season-high 19.9 PPR points. Loveland has averaged 13.5 PPG since Week 4 compared to 2.8 PPG in the first three weeks. Luther Burden III holds a 22% target share, but without a true No. 1 WR emerging, Loveland has returned to the player seen late last season. With Caleb Williams healthy and leading the league's seventh-highest-scoring offense, Loveland's dynasty stock is booming.

Loveland UPGRADES to mid-range TE1 territory and offers high-end TE1 upside. The source's big-picture takeaway is simple: Colston was a great prospect and is showing signs of life, and generally speaking, the source wants to buy into those situations.

Cole Kmet (knee) is out for the season, which could open the door for Loveland to get more playing time, though he could also be asked to block more and face increased target competition from more WRs on the field. The Bears are the No. 7 scoring offense (25.7 PPG) and run the most regulation plays per contest (72.1), on pace to run an additional three games' worth of plays vs. the average NFL team. Burden is the only other player demanding targets at 22%; Kalif Raymond has faded to 14%, and Rome Odunze is stuck on the boundary with 16% target share and the fourth-highest route depth (11.8) among WRs with 150+ routes.

I wanted to see if there was any merit to the notion that Rome Odunze is not being targeted as often as he should be 1. Odunze's 0.129 ASS ranks in the 90th percentile and his 14.7% Route Win Rate ranks in the 71st percentile - Yet, he has a TPRR of 0.17 (33rd percentile) 2. Odunze has an aDOT of 13.6 yards that ranks in the 71st percentile - So, he is getting open at a high rate on a deeper route tree, but not getting targeted very often 3.
