Outlook Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland at Atlanta: High-Scoring Environment Offers Rebound Opportunity
Loveland remains Chicago's primary tight end and has seen steady involvement with 14 targets across his past two games, though fantasy start rates have dipped to 49%. Quarterback Tyson Bagent recently emphasized looking for the young tight end on checkdowns, providing a solid target floor as the offense heads indoors.
With this road matchup against Atlanta carrying a lofty 51.5 over/under, Loveland has a favorable setup to find paydirt. Our models project him for about 3.6 catches, 39 receiving yards, and 9.1 fantasy points, making him a viable streaming option who could outproduce expectations with red-zone looks.

Outlook Darren Waller
Darren Waller at Philadelphia — Toe injury clouds streaming viability
Waller is listed as questionable for Sunday’s road matchup against the Eagles after logging limited practice time with a toe injury. Carolina's tight end corps is nicked up with Tommy Tremble also nursing a rib issue, while wideout Xavier Legette is sidelined on injured reserve. Fantasy managers should check back often for the latest news on Waller's official game-day availability.
If cleared, Waller profiles as a touchdown-dependent play in an outdoor matchup projected for low scoring. Fantasy managers have grown cautious, dropping his start rate down near 5%, which aligns with our weekly projection of 2.5 catches for 27 yards (6.9 fantasy points). Without guaranteed volume, he is difficult to trust outside of deep formats.
