Colston Loveland at Carolina — Primed for a Major Target Share in Opener

Colston Loveland enters the season fully healthy as Chicago's clear lead tight end, having put a preseason tackle scare well behind him. With receiver Rome Odunze questionable due to a calf injury, Loveland commands an elevated target share as one of Caleb Williams' primary intermediate options.

Universally started across fantasy leagues, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats as an elite option. Our weekly projection pegs Loveland for around 13.3 fantasy points on roughly 4 catches, 55 receiving yards, and 6 targets, providing a dependable weekly floor with high touchdown upside.

Outlook Tee Higgins

Tee Higgins vs. TB — Cleared for Action in High-Scoring Opener

Higgins has been removed from the injury report and confirmed he is ready for a full snap workload after dealing with a heel issue. Operating as a primary boundary receiver alongside Ja'Marr Chase in Cincinnati's Joe Burrow-led passing attack, he enters the opener without restrictions.

With his start rate climbing to 93%, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats. Facing Tampa Bay in a matchup with clear shootout potential, our weekly projection slots Higgins for roughly 4 catches, 54 yards, and 14.6 fantasy points with strong touchdown upside.
