Latest takes
“Phased out of the Bears’ offense by youngsters Luther Burden III , Colston Loveland and Rome Odunze , it seems that Ben Johnson forgot that Moore existed at times, sending just 85 targets his way across 17 games.”
Evan Tarracciano· Sep 5“Colston Loveland. I’m going with Loveland because I think he has a real chance to make that Year 2 jump.”
FantasyPros Staff· Sep 5“Brock Bowers , Colston Loveland , and Trey McBride are the obvious examples heading into this season.”

“In Chicago in 2025, Moore had to deal with the emergence of Rome Odunze , Luther Burden III and Colston Loveland , which crowded out the targets Moore was used to getting.”
Ryan Kirksey· Sep 4“Finishing last season with four straight 10-target games and three of those games with 90+ yards was an amazing sign of things to come. When you thought it couldn’t get better, head coach Ben Johnson couldn’t stop praising Loveland all training camp.”

FantasyPros Staff· Sep 3“Colston Loveland disappointed last season if you only look at his overall stats as the TE15 in fantasy points per game, but that was because he was languishing in a part-time role for most of the season. It wasn’t until after Week 15 that Loveland was consistently featured as a full-time member of the offense.”
FantasyPros Staff· Sep 1“Colston Loveland is the exact type of modern, mismatch TE who can recreate that magic. In a Ben Johnson offense scoring nearly 38 points per game, Loveland becomes the ultimate safety valve and red zone weapon for Caleb Williams.”
Nate Henry· Aug 28“It’s easy to identify the top tier of tight ends in fantasy football this season: Brock Bowers Trey McBride Colston Loveland Tyler Warren Kyle Pitts Tucker Kraft But what does the position look like after that top tier? Below are three tight ends you can draft in the later rounds who have the upside to finish in the top five at the position.”
Kurt Blakeway· Aug 25“Odunze still has Colston Loveland to compete with for targets, but without DJ Moore to compete with, Odunze feels like a shoo-in for a 20% target share.”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 22“There are three tight ends guaranteed to land in the first four rounds: Brock Bowers , Trey McBride , and Colston Loveland .”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 22“Brock Bowers , Trey McBride , Colston Loveland , and Tyler Warren have separated from the position, and the market is charging accordingly.”
Javier Manzanera· Aug 21“With Colston Loveland and Luther Burden III apparently looking like prime Tony Gonzalez and Randy Moss, Swift has gone under the radar.”
Ellis Johnson· Aug 19“Loveland led the Bears in receiving yards despite only being on the field for 63.8% of the team's dropbacks. With the Bears trading D.J. Moore and not investing much capital into a replacement, there is a significant opportunity for Loveland to increase his target share in an ascending offense.”
Curtis Hirsch· Aug 18“Colston Loveland (TE – CHI) I know, here’s another person writing about how great Colston Loveland is.”
Ellis Johnson· Aug 11
“Drafting Carnell Tate is a bet on talent and Cam Ward’s ability to take off in his second season with Brian Daboll calling plays.”

“12 | Carnell Tate | WR, Tennessee Titans You’ve got two running backs, two wide receivers, and a tight end. Naturally, your league mates are assuming you’re getting your quarterback here, right?”
Kyle Lesti· Aug 29“Carnell Tate (WR – TEN) Going as the WR32, around the 78th overall pick, Tate carries real, unanimous praise from national draft evaluators.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 28“The first receiver selected in this year’s draft class, Carnell Tate continues a long line of highly touted receivers from Ohio State who look to make an immediate impact upon the league. While some analysts think this is a fantastic fit for an up-and-coming team loaded with offensive talent, I remain skeptical that the Titans will put everything together in 2026.”
Evan Tarracciano· Aug 26“While Carnell Tate will see a significant workload, Robinson should lead the Titans in targets and receptions. Chris Godwin Jr. (WR – TB) | ADP: 100.8 ( WR 40) Unfortunately, Chris Godwin Jr. has struggled to stay healthy the past few seasons, missing 18 games in 2024 and 2025 due to injury.”
Mike Fanelli· Aug 25“Ward’s rough rookie year came in a barren offense, and Tennessee overhauled it, adding Carnell Tate and Wan’Dale Robinson and, crucially, quarterback whisperer Brian Daboll, whose track record with Josh Allen , Daniel Jones , and Jaxson Dart is exactly the profile you want betting on a second-year leap. Cheap, and trending up.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 25“With fourth overall pick Carnell Tate added to this offense and Cam Ward entering his second season, this team should take a step forward.”
Ellis Johnson· Aug 19“With a stable coaching staff in place, they’ve supplied Ward with more weapons, including 2026 first-round wide receiver Carnell Tate and former Giants receiver Wan’Dale Robinson , and he has a year of working with other wide receivers like Chimere Dike and Elic Ayomanor under his belt.”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 10“Carnell Tate (WR – TEN) Currently the WR14 in dynasty ECR, ahead of several more established veteran names, one analyst believes this is close to as good as Tate’s value will ever be, even after ranking him as his own WR1 in this year’s rookie class.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 9“Carnell Tate Egbuka also posted a top-20 all-time rookie season in targets (127)”
The FF Newsletter· Aug 6“Carnell Tate (WR – TEN) Carnell Tate might have been taken fourth overall in the 2026 NFL draft, but it really comes down to what you believe about quarterback Cam Ward and offensive coordinator Brian Daboll”
Ryan Kirksey· Aug 6“Pollard should find running room in 2026 with Carnell Tate and Wan’Dale Robinson added to the passing game, improved play from Cam Ward , and an offensive line that last year was quietly 13th-best in yards before contact per attempt.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 5“Drafting Carnell Tate is a bet on talent and Cam Ward ‘s ability to take off in his second season with Brian Daboll calling plays. I want to bet on Tate as I’m in love with the talent. Tate is an amazing route runner who can separate at all three levels of the field after ranking tenth in yards per route run and fourth in receiving grade last season (per PFF).”
