Outlook Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland vs. Patriots: Momentum Surges in High-Scoring Matchup
Loveland enters Thursday night as Chicago's clear lead tight end after delivering his best performance of the season. He hauled in six passes for 65 yards and a touchdown in his last outing, giving him 12 targets over the past two weeks. Loveland is trending upward at the right time and remains firmly entrenched atop the Bears' tight end depth chart ahead of Cole Kmet.
Fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups, as his start rate has climbed to 76%. Facing New England in a projected high-scoring matchup, our models project Loveland for roughly three catches, 33 yards, and scoring upside. Given his expanding role and Chicago's expected offensive volume, Loveland profiles as a dependable starter with room for a high-end outcome.

Outlook Roschon Johnson
Roschon Johnson vs. Patriots — Expanded Backfield Role Offers Deep-League Appeal
With Kyle Monangai ruled out with a thumb and toe injury, Roschon Johnson serves as the direct complementary back to D'Andre Swift. Johnson showcased his role last week against Atlanta, converting 13 carries for 51 yards and a touchdown while seeing third-down work despite a fourth-quarter fumble.
Fantasy managers have taken notice, pushing his roster rate up to 20%. In an anticipated high-scoring home contest against New England, our projections expect Johnson to log roughly six carries for 25 rushing yards alongside a couple of targets. While Swift limits his volume ceiling, Johnson is a viable deep-league play with goal-line upside.
