Outlook Colston Loveland
Sophomore Breakthrough Awaits as Chicago's Premier Tight End
Colston Loveland enjoyed an outstanding rookie year, securing 70 receptions for 899 yards and seven touchdowns. Now operating as the lead tight end in Chicago, he is primed for an even larger role. Offseason departures have opened up targets, meaning the sophomore is set to be a focal point for Caleb Williams.
Loveland's draft stock reflects this massive excitement. His PPR ADP has largely stabilized in the early fourth round around pick 43, though it occasionally spikes into the mid-20s. Our models view him as a value steal at this price, projecting him for 82 receptions, 972 yards, and seven touchdowns.
While listed ahead of Cole Kmet on the depth chart, he must share targets with Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III. Still, Loveland’s versatility ensures high-volume opportunities. He is a high-end TE1 who can easily finish among the elite in his second season.

Outlook Darren Waller
Fading Fantasy Demand Casts Darren Waller as High-Risk Stash
Darren Waller enters his age-34 season with a highly volatile fantasy outlook. His 2025 campaign with Miami featured excellent efficiency in limited action, where he caught six touchdowns on just 24 receptions over eight games. However, injuries continue to define his career trajectory, as he hasn't played a full schedule since 2020.
Our data shows fantasy managers are aggressively souring on his outlook. Over the past month, his ownership rate has plummeted from 54% to 39%, while his active start rate has dropped to just 10%. With no clear team depth chart context and fading market demand, he is no longer considered a reliable weekly starter.
Unless he lands in a highly favorable offensive environment, his path to productivity relies entirely on unsustainable touchdown efficiency. We project him as a late-round flyer or waiver-wire stash rather than a core tight end solution for standard formats.
