Outlook Colston Loveland

Colston Loveland at Green Bay — Target Share Trending Up in NFC North Battle

Loveland continues to operate as Chicago's lead tight end and has seen his workload expand rapidly after a quiet opening two weeks. Over his last two contests, the second-year tight end has earned 13 targets, hauling in 10 receptions for 88 yards, including a team-high nine looks in his previous game. Keep an eye on Caleb Williams' status heading into Sunday, as a lingering hamstring injury could keep Tyson Bagent under center.

Our weekly projections slate Loveland for roughly 4 receptions and 43 yards (9.8 fantasy points), positioning him firmly on the TE1 radar. While fantasy managers were hesitant following his scoreless start to the year, his rebounding 65% start rate reflects growing confidence in his expanding passing-game role against the Packers.
