Expert takes
“While he didn’t post a massive stat line, Loveland had a 66.7% route share and 91% snap share as he led the team with a 26.5% target share and 34.8% first-read share. Loveland had three red zone targets, 57 receiving yards, and 2.38 YPRR. This week, Loveland faces a Green Bay secondary that has the sixth-highest two-high rate in the NFL (62.1%).”
FantasyPros Staff· Oct 8, 2026“The arrow is clearly pointing up for Loveland, who has a chance to become a bigger part of this offense as the season progresses. With the Bears potentially leaning on their passing game to keep pace with the Packers, Loveland could see another healthy dose of targets. I like the idea of using Loveland to save money as an alternative if you don’t want to pay full price for Trey McBride.”
Frank Ammirante· Oct 10, 2026“Last week, Loveland had an 11.8% target share, 31 receiving yards (1.35 YPRR), and a 10.3% first-read share. This is woeful usage for a player with his talent level. The Jets have held tight ends to the 13th-fewest yards per target and the eighth-fewest fantasy points per opportunity.”

“TEs Colston Loveland has one catch for three yards through the first two weeks of the season. Caleb Williams ’ hamstring injury hurts all Bears pass-catchers, but Loveland turns into a player that I would advise starting with either Tyson Bagent or Case Keenum at QB. Tucker Kraft ’s return from a torn ACL has been slower than fantasy managers would have hoped for when drafting him, but the increase to 98% of snaps is a sign of encouragement.”
Jordan Pullett· Sep 25, 2026“Loveland may not mean as much to Ben Johnson ’s offense as Trey McBride or Brock Bowers mean to their offenses, limiting his ceiling when comparing him to the other elite TEs.”
Jordan Pullett· Sep 23, 2026“How crazy is it that Colston Loveland has combined for only one catch for three yards in two games? An absolutely insane outcome compared to the hype he was getting coming into the season. We have no choice but to downgrade Loveland moving forward, especially with Caleb Williams out for the foreseeable future.”
Frank Ammirante· Sep 23, 2026“I was always skeptical that Loveland would reach his elite ceiling, and he certainly hasn’t done anything to change that impression. If you can move him for a top-half TE1 price tag, do it.”
Ted Chmyz· Sep 23, 2026“Colston Loveland ‘s 0.05 YPRR is utterly painful considering he’s run the 6th most routes of any TE.”
Kyle Borgognoni· Sep 21, 2026“Chicago will be without quarterback Caleb Williams for the near future due to his hamstring injury, so the time to “buy low” on a potential bounce-back for Loveland is now.”
Evan Tarracciano· Sep 21, 2026“Loveland was always going to need consistent involvement AND reliable quarterback play to become the weekly TE1 fantasy managers drafted him to be. Unfortunately, the next man up for the Bears at QB is Tyson Bagent who hasn’t thrown a TD since 2023. As it stands, the panic alarm is screaming for Loveland.”
Tim Brosnan· Sep 21, 2026
“However, Swift is still the lead back, and this is a fantastic bounce-back opportunity against a generous Green Bay defense. Also, Monangai has been ruled out this week. Green Bay came into the season short-handed, but the injuries continue to pile up.”
Tera Roberts· Oct 11, 2026“With Kyle Monangai ruled out, Swift should dominate touches in Chicago’s backfield, giving him an appealing combination of floor and upside. The Bears have leaned heavily on their running game, and there’s no reason to expect that to change against Green Bay. Swift should have plenty of opportunities to exploit this vulnerable run defense, especially with Monangai unavailable to steal carries.”
Frank Ammirante· Oct 10, 2026“Swift will continue to be a fringe RB1 moving forward, especially with Kyle Monangai set to miss time with a thumb injury and a case of turf toe. All hail King Swift! That’s it for this week, FootClan.”

“Among 43 qualifying backs, Swift is eighth in yards after contact per attempt and tenth in missed tackle rate. Swift has 14 of the team’s 20 running back red zone carries while playing 64.1% of the snaps with a 51.4% rushing share, a 35.7% route share, and a 9.2% target share. Swift should have another strong stat line this week against a Jets’ run defense that has allowed the second-highest rushing success rate, the tenth-most yards before contact per attempt, and the third-highest missed tackle rate.”
Derek Brown· Oct 1, 2026“Still, Swift’s ECR ranking of RB13 is a bit too rich for me. He’s a fine back and as consistent as they come, but Swift has never finished that high positionally in his six NFL seasons.”
Jim Moorman· Oct 6, 2026“Swift had the better role and scored 17.7 half-PPR points per game with 17.75 expected half-PPR points per game, per the Fantasy Points Data Suite 2.0. Monangai averaged 9.77 half-PPR points per game and 7.29 expected half-PPR points per game. According to Jahnke, Swift had a 61.1% snap share versus 38.9% for Monangai over the first six drives, but Swift lost a fumble on the sixth drive.”
Josh Shepardson· Oct 5, 2026“Among 43 qualifying backs, Swift ranks sixth in yards after contact per attempt and eighth in missed tackle rate. Swift should have success again this week. Philly has allowed the ninth-highest explosive run rate, the fifth-most yards after contact per attempt, and the fifth-highest missed tackle rate.”
FantasyPros Staff· Sep 26, 2026““ D’Andre Swift’s fantasy outlook is usually pretty rosy with the potent Bears’ offense and a weaker defensive opponent, but not this week. The injuries to Caleb Williams and backup Tyson Bagent have put a dark cloud over the Windy City. Chicago might have to go with veteran Case Keenum against a stout Eagles’ defense, led by their star linemen Jordan Davis and Jalen Carter .”
FantasyPros Staff· Sep 24, 2026“D’Andre Swift has one of the largest deltas (12%) in his TPRR and his True Target Rate (factoring in pass blocks).”
Kyle Borgognoni· Sep 21, 2026“D’Andre Swift ran for 124 yards and three touchdowns on 18 carries, splitting time in the backfield with Kyle Monangai , who had a great day in his own respects (10 carries for 100 yards and a score). Swift was able to find gaping holes all afternoon against Carolina, with head coach Ben Johnson dialing up plays to utilize his quickness in space. Look for this trend to continue as long as he stays healthy this season.”
Evan Tarracciano· Sep 14, 2026“D’Andre Swift will be our RB1 with Jeremiyah Love possibly on the shelf for at least the first week. Swift cleared 1,000 yards last season while being part of a committee.”
Steve Krebs· Sep 5, 2026“D’Andre Swift may share Chicago’s backfield with Kyle Monangai , but the Bears should field one of the league’s better offenses under head coach and accomplished running-game designer Ben Johnson .”
