Colston Loveland at Carolina: Primed for Heavy Target Share in Season Opener

Loveland enters Week 1 completely healthy as Chicago's lead tight end ahead of Cole Kmet, ready to expand his role. With fellow pass-catchers Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III managing injuries, Loveland is set to serve as a primary target for Caleb Williams in a favorable road matchup against Carolina.

Rostered in 100% of leagues and started in 99%, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats. Our models project him for around 13.3 fantasy points on roughly 6 targets and 55 receiving yards, giving him both a remarkably secure weekly floor and red-zone scoring upside.

Outlook Mike Evans

Mike Evans at LAR — Primed for Immediate Impact in High-Scoring Season Opener

Evans enters the season fully healthy after brushing off training camp quad and groin tightness that limited him in August. Making his regular-season debut for San Francisco as an outside starter alongside Deebo Samuel Sr., Evans steps into an immediate high-leverage role with fellow receiver Christian Kirk sidelined on injured reserve.

Our weekly projection tabs Evans for roughly 8 targets, 4 receptions, and 53 receiving yards with strong red-zone touchdown upside (13.3 fantasy points). Currently started in 43% of leagues, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats in a matchup carrying plenty of shootout potential.
