Outlook Colston Loveland
Poised for an Elite Sophomore Leap as Chicago's Primary Mismatch Weapon
Coming off a standout debut campaign that saw him earn Brian Piccolo honors, Loveland enters his second season as Chicago's undisputed primary tight end ahead of Cole Kmet. His late-season surge down the stretch cemented him as a mismatch nightmare and a favorite target for quarterback Caleb Williams.
We project Loveland to take another significant leap forward in 2026, forecasting 82 receptions, 950 receiving yards, and eight touchdowns (211.0 fantasy points) on 121 targets. Working alongside wideouts Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III, Loveland offers high-volume intermediate equity and dependable red-zone upside.
In full-PPR formats, draft momentum has kept Loveland firmly in the early-to-mid round conversation, currently settling around pick 47 after sitting near pick 42 earlier this summer. Supported by near-universal starting rates, our models view his draft cost as a premier value capable of delivering elite tight end production.

Outlook Greg Dulcich
Clear Path to Starting Snaps Makes Him an Intriguing Late-Round Flier
Dulcich enters the season atop Miami's tight end depth chart, benefiting from a thinned-out position group following injuries to Cole Turner and Ben Sims. Reports throughout the offseason highlighted his strong rapport with quarterback Malik Willis, giving him an inside track for consistent targets over the middle of the field.
Our season projections anticipate a solid role, forecasting 50 receptions for 550 receiving yards and three touchdowns (133.0 PPR points) on 77 targets. After tallying 335 receiving yards across nine games with Miami last year, achieving that projection would yield a career-best campaign if he maintains durability.
Market sentiment remains skeptical, as his draft stock has fallen from pick 212 in late July to roughly pick 262 ahead of kickoff. Rostered in just 8% of leagues, our projections indicate this tumbling ADP makes him a sneaky value steal in deeper 1.0 PPR leagues.
