Colston Loveland News
Wednesday, June 10, 9:52 AM
Chicago Bears tight end Colston Loveland is considered a top-five fantasy player at his position as he heads into his sophomore season in the NFL. The former first-rounder (10th overall) out of the University of Michigan last year got off to a slow start in his rookie campaign, but he eventually became a big part of Chicago's passing attack and finished with 58 catches for 713 yards and six touchdowns during the regular season. The 6-foot-6, 241-pound 22-year-old then added eight catches for 137 yards and a two-point conversion in a playoff win over the division-rival Green Bay Packers. Loveland impressed everyone in the organization in 2025 with his talent and drive, but according to The Athletic's Dan Wiederer, Loveland believes he has a lot to improve on. "It's watching the tape and knowing, like, it was good for a rookie," Loveland said, "but it's not going to be good enough for a second-year or third-year guy." He believes he can specifically improve as a blocker in the running game. As Loveland's chemistry with QB Caleb Williams improves this offseason, he becomes a more attractive high-end TE1 target in fantasy drafts this year.

Mason Taylor News
Monday, June 1, 8:53 AM
New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor saw his dynasty value drop this past offseason. The Jets spent a first-round pick on Kenyon Sadiq, who projects to be the Jets' primary tight end from Day 1. That leaves Taylor, who was a second-round pick in 2025, in a backup role. Although there's still a possibility for Taylor to carve out standalone value, managers should temper expectations. First of all, the Jets had the 10th-fewest snaps in 12 personnel last year, which means we didn't see them use two tight ends a lot. They should roll out 12 personnel more often this year now that they have both Sadiq and Taylor, but we question whether it'll happen more than the league-average rate. Additionally, this offense is not set up to support two fantasy-relevant tight ends at once. It's very challenging for any NFL offense to achieve that, and the Jets probably aren't up for the challenge in a rebuild year with Geno Smith under center. Taylor is a solid handcuff in case Sadiq gets hurt, but he's falling out of favor in most fantasy leagues. He has dropped to TE23 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.
