Colston Loveland

The 10th overall pick of the 2025 NFL Draft, Colston Loveland put together an impressive rookie season that got better and better as it wore on. Loveland finished TE12 in half-point PPR scoring as a rookie with 58 catches for 713 yards and six touchdowns. From Week 9 on, Loveland was TE2 in fantasy scoring behind only Trey McBride. Over Chicago's last four games - two in the regular season, two in the playoffs - Bears head coach Ben Johnson fully unleashed Loveland. The rookie tight end had 10 or more targets in each of those games, averaging 12.0 targets, 7.0 catches and 94.5 receiving yards over that stretch, with a pair of TDs. In the Bears' playoff win over the Packers, Loveland was targeted 15 times and had eight catches for 137 yards. The 6-6, 241-pound Loveland is a matchup nightmare with his size and speed. Loveland is the consensus TE3 for 2026 fantasy drafts behind only Brock Bowers and Trey McBride.

Colston Loveland caught a team-high 10 passes, on 13 targets, for 91 yards and a score in the Bears' 19-16 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Loveland, the first-round pick out of Michigan, is starting to get hot at the right time for the Bears. Over the last two weeks, the tight end has caught 16 passes for 185 yards and two touchdowns. After a slow start to the season (11 catches in the first six weeks), Loveland has caught 47 passes over his last ten games. He will look to remain a focal point of the offense during the postseason.
