Colston Loveland 2025 Fantasy Football Outlook: Elite Talent, Crowded Pass-Catching Corps
Chicago Bears rookie tight end Colston Loveland was drafted with the 10th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, giving him elite draft capital. Despite his lack of college production, he had horrible QB play last season, so his statistics were misleading. He's an elite route-runner for a tight end and is 6-foot-6, so he has an elite catch radius. Right now, he's still recovering from a shoulder injury he played through in 2024 that he had surgery to address in the offseason. Loveland being thought of so highly by new Bears head coach Ben Johnson says a lot. While the team already has wide receivers DJ Moore and Rome Odunze, and drafted wideout Luther Burden III in the second round of the 2025 draft, Loveland has a chance to immediately become the team's TE1 and take over a solid share of the passing game. Tight end Cole Kmet figures to be Loveland's backup. Still, it's a crowded pass-catcher room, making it hard to project Loveland's volume. His ADP in redraft leagues is very low, though, so it shouldn't be hard to draft him in the later rounds. He's immensely talented and will be in the hands of an immensely talented offensive mind in Johnson. So he has a ton of upside for not being very expensive. He's absolutely worth drafting, and should finish as a top-8 TE this season.
