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.

Rashee Rice Questionable for Week 7 Road Test as Practice Absence Continues

Rice remains questionable for Sunday's road matchup against Seattle after missing Wednesday's practice with lingering hamstring and knee issues. Having already sat out Week 6, his availability is in serious doubt, and fantasy managers must check back often for updates prior to kickoff.

Our weekly projections currently slate Rice for 0 fantasy points, reflecting the strong possibility he is held out again. Fantasy managers have already dropped his start rate down to 27%, and he belongs on fantasy benches until he can prove full health on the practice field.
