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
“Jayden Daniels is expected to take the field for the Commanders in Week 5.”
Jordan Pullett· Oct 10, 2026“Jayden Daniels practiced in full to open this week (elbow).”
FantasyPros Staff· Oct 10, 2026“We are waiting on word for Terry McLaurin , but if Daniels is ready to roll, he is an upside option on the QB1/QB2 line . The Giants rank last in the NFL in pressure rate (22.1%) and will not have Brian Burns for the rest of the season, but they have allowed only one QB1 scoring week through four games. They have faced Cam Ward (9.4 points) and Jacoby Brissett (10.4 points), but that also includes holding Dak Prescott to 14.4 points and 5.1 yards per pass attempt.”

“At this point, Daniels has extreme laxity in his elbow with multiple ligaments torn due to these repeat injuries. Because of that, the re-injury risk moving forward is high. It’s probably a matter of when, not if, Daniels requires surgery.”
Matthew Betz· Sep 22, 2026“Sit’Em Jayden Daniels (WAS) Injuries crushed Jayden Daniels ‘ 2025 season.”
FantasyPros Staff· Sep 12, 2026“Jayden Daniels (QB – WAS) ADP: 59 | (QB5) He has the talent to bounce back after an injury-plagued season last year, but he’s being priced at his ceiling. Despite finishing QB5 in PPR fantasy points per game, a lot of it had to do with his rushing.”
Kyle Zeigler· Aug 7, 2026“As long as Jayden Daniels can remain healthy, this should be a formidable offense”
Ellis Johnson· Aug 6, 2026“After a sublime 2024 rookie season in which he threw for 3,568 yards and 25 touchdowns, ran for 891 yards and six touchdowns, and was named Offensive Rookie of the Year, Daniels played only seven games in 2025 due to elbow, knee and ankle injuries. When he was healthy, Daniels was a far less efficient passer than he had been in 2024, averaging only 6.7 yards per pass attempt and completing 60.6% of his throws in 2025 (down from 7.4 YPA and a 69.0% completion rate as a rookie).”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 15, 2026“Von Miller spoke about choosing the Commanders, saying "with the Washington Commanders, I just felt like Jayden Daniels was poised for another great season. His rookie season went all the way to the NFC Championship, and last year, he got hit with injuries, not just at the quarterback position, but all over the place."”
Wyatt Grindley· Jul 11, 2026“When Daniels did play a complete game, he was still productive for fantasy. In those weeks, he posted 19.6 fantasy points per game, which would have been QB7 for the season. He scored at least 15 fantasy points in six of his seven appearances, showing he still has a high floor.”
Rich Hribar· Jul 9, 2026“Jayden Daniels was a disappointment even before he got hurt. His passing numbers were down, and he only averaged 39.7 rushing yards per game prior to his injury.”
Jason Kamlowsky· Jul 3, 2026“Even in the games Daniels played, it was clear that regression was going to hit. Finishing the season with a 2-5 record as the starter, he averaged 11 fewer rushing yards and 29 fewer passing yards per game compared to his rookie season.”
Ellis Johnson· Jun 26, 2026“Jayden Daniels was one of three top-five quarterbacks in ADP that finished as a massive fantasy bust, finishing at least 18 spots lower than his ADP at QB34, having missed 19 combined games because of injury.”
Mike Fanelli· Jun 14, 2026“Even when Daniels did play, he looked a step slow compared to his rookie year. His completion percentage dropped by 6.5%, his timing was off, and the offense couldn't sustain drives.”
