Colston Loveland at Green Bay — Target Share Trending Up in NFC North Battle

Loveland continues to operate as Chicago's lead tight end and has seen his workload expand rapidly after a quiet opening two weeks. Over his last two contests, the second-year tight end has earned 13 targets, hauling in 10 receptions for 88 yards, including a team-high nine looks in his previous game. Keep an eye on Caleb Williams' status heading into Sunday, as a lingering hamstring injury could keep Tyson Bagent under center.

Our weekly projections slate Loveland for roughly 4 receptions and 43 yards (9.8 fantasy points), positioning him firmly on the TE1 radar. While fantasy managers were hesitant following his scoreless start to the year, his rebounding 65% start rate reflects growing confidence in his expanding passing-game role against the Packers.

Outlook Pat Freiermuth

Pat Freiermuth vs. Colts — Streaming TE Option with Red-Zone Upside

Operating as Pittsburgh's top tight end, Freiermuth has posted 14 receptions on 19 targets and two touchdowns across his first four games. With wideout Michael Pittman Jr. landing on injured reserve, Aaron Rodgers may rely more on his reliable safety valve over the middle against an Indianapolis defense facing a low 42-point projected total.

Our projections forecast Freiermuth for 3.3 catches, 34.3 yards, and 8.3 fantasy points, making him a touchdown-dependent option. Given his 26% roster rate, fantasy managers should view him as a matchup-dependent streamer in deeper leagues whose ceiling is tied to finding the end zone.
