Who Should I Start? Colston Loveland or Tyler Warren

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.
