Who Should I Start? Erick All Jr. or Colston Loveland

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Erick All Jr. (knee), who tore his right ACL on Nov. 3 against the Las Vegas Raiders, is expected to miss all of the 2025 season due to complications from a previous knee surgery in college, according to team and league sources. All will need two surgeries to fix the issue. The 24-year-old fell to the fourth round of the 2024 draft because of medical concerns. In addition to his knee injury, he suffered a back injury in 2022 while at Michigan that led to "life-changing" spine surgery. All has now ended the last three years with an injury. His second knee surgery should set him up to hit the ground running in 2026, and the Bengals hope All can pick up where he left off in his rookie season when he caught 20 of 22 targets for 158 yards in nine games before tearing his ACL. All's biggest impact came in the running game as a blocker, though.

Chicago Bears tight end Colston Loveland (shoulder) is currently banged up, but is expected to be ready for the start of training camp. The Bears are expecting big things from Loveland this upcoming season. The organization selected Loveland with their first-round pick in this year's draft. Loveland is still recovering from offseason shoulder surgery, but he should be ready to go soon. Scott Blair of Marquee Sports Network, believes Loveland is going to be the primary tight end in this offense. He mentions that Cole Kmet should remain involved, but Loveland is likely to be the primary receiving threat. The Bears do have a handful of weapons on offense, but they wouldn't have drafted Loveland in the first round if they didn't plan to use him. Loveland is currently projected as the second tight end off the board in dynasty formats behind Tyler Warren. There should be Day 1 value from Loveland despite Kmet still being in the mix.
