Who Should I Start? Colston Loveland or Tyler Warren

Friday, December 19, 9:57 PM

Chicago Bears rookie tight end Colston Loveland hauled in four of five targets for 63 yards in the dominant 31-3 victory over the Cleveland Browns. Loveland had his second-best showing of the 2025 season in Week 15, and injuries across the Bears' receiving room put Loveland in a good spot entering this week. Both Rome Odunze (foot) and Luther Burden III (ankle) have been ruled out for Week 16, which could cause the Bears to rely on two-TE sets much more often this week. The Packers have been strong against tight ends this season, allowing the fifth-fewest receiving yards to tight ends this season. While the rookie tight end is in a prime position to have a big outing against the Packers, he's still a low-end TE1 in Week 16 who carries a ton of risk in this Bears system.

Indianapolis Colts tight end Tyler Warren has been in a slump over the last few weeks, falling under the 5.0 PPR point mark in each contest. Over the last three games, Warren has finished with 22 yards or fewer in every contest, but did manage to find the back of the end zone in Week 13, which salvaged his fantasy day. The change to 44-year-old Philip Rivers at quarterback doesn't seem to be doing this passing attack any favors, as he only caught three passes for 19 yards in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks. Warren has seen six targets in two straight games, so the target share remains high, but his production has remained low. He'll head into a plus-matchup against the San Francisco 49ers defense in Week 16, facing a defense that has allowed nine touchdowns to opposing tight ends this season. Warren has enough upside to be plugged in as a low-end TE1 for this Monday Night matchup in 12-team formats.
