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
“Javonte Williams ran an inefficient 19/62 on the ground but found the endzone three times to finish as the RB3.”
Jordan Pullett· Oct 10, 2026“Williams is averaging only 4.0 yards per touch (the fewest of any RB1 this season), but he has 81.1% of the backfield touches (RB7), with 44% of his fantasy points coming directly from touchdown production. Only Derrick Henry (46.3%) has a higher touchdown dependency among top-40 backs through four weeks. While that adds some potential regression here, Williams is still attached to a home favorite and has that workload and scoring equity in his pocket.”
Rich Hribar· Oct 6, 2026“While Javonte Williams remains the clear lead option for the Cowboys, Goodson appears to have carved out the primary third-down and backup role. The most fascinating stat from Sunday? Goodson handled seven touches on just 11 total snaps .”

“Javonte Williams is averaging 2.6 yards per carry through two weeks, and half of his carries have gone for two or fewer yards. He ranks second-lowest in rushing first downs and has looked slower this season. The Cowboys’ offensive line ranks last in yards before contact.”
Jordan Pullett· Sep 25, 2026“The Cowboys offensive line has struggled without Tyler Smith , and it has shown with Williams averaging 3.4 and 2.5 rushing yards per attempt so far. It will get better for Williams, but it may not be this week. Baltimore has the makings to make this a track meet early against a dreadful Cowboys defense, leaving Dallas no option but to toss the ball around the park in Rio.”
FantasyPros Staff· Sep 24, 2026“While I believe the aforementioned Judkins and Javonte Williams are good backs, I am not sold that they are great. However, both RBs get nearly all of the work for their respective backfields. I’m no chemist, but I know that if you mix bad defenses with high-powered offenses, you often get fireworks.”
Colt Williams· Sep 24, 2026“Last year, Javonte Williams was a massive surprise in fantasy football to everyone, including me.”
FantasyPros Staff· Sep 5, 2026“Javonte Williams (RB – DAL) A breakout that surprised even his believers, as Williams finished RB11 in points per game after most expectations topped out at a volume-driven RB2.”
FantasyPros Staff· Sep 3, 2026“” – Aaron St Denis ( Fantasy Sports Advice Network ) Javonte Williams (RB – DAL) “If I end up with a late pick, Javonte Williams is the running back I’m targeting when I get to Round 3. Last year, he was awesome in his first year with Dallas, racking up 1,338 total yards and scoring 13 touchdowns.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 30, 2026“Javonte Williams is coming off a season with more than 1,200 rushing yards and is in a high-powered offense.”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 22, 2026“Javonte Williams (RB – DAL) was actually the RB1 in fantasy points per game last year, yet he’s being drafted like a mid-tier RB2 this year.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 10, 2026“Round 5: DeVonta Smith (WR – PHI) Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams was staring me in the face, but with a FLEX spot still available in a PPR league, I couldn’t pass up DeVonta Smith .”
