Colston Loveland

Colston Loveland has had at least three catches in each of his last 11 games, so there's a reasonably sturdy floor here. The Bears have a strong running game, so they aren't especially pass-happy, and that limits Loveland's ceiling to some extent, although we got a glimpse of the ceiling in Week 17, when Loveland had six catches for 94 yards and a touchdown versus the 49ers. Rome Odunze has been out with a foot injury, which has helped Loveland get a steady diet of targets. The rookie tight end has drawn at least five targets in five consecutive games. He gets a Week 18 matchup against the Lions, whose defensive backfield has been decimated by injuries.

Colston Loveland hauled in six of his team-leading 10 targets for 94 yards and one touchdown in the Bears' 42-38 Week 17 loss to the 49ers.

Fantasy Impact

Loveland has made the most of modest involvement in the Chicago passing attack of late, recording one touchdown in three of his last six games. The tight end remains a boom-or-bust tight end option in all formats for fantasy managers ahead of a Week 18 matchup against the Detroit Lions.
