Who Should I Start? Evan Engram or Colston Loveland

Wednesday, November 5, 7:35 PM

Denver Broncos tight end Evan Engram has been a tough player to trust in fantasy lineups for the 2025 season, ranking as the TE27 through nine weeks with just one fringe TE1 finish. In last week's matchup against the Broncos, Engram had zero catches on three targets, marking what could be the final straw for fantasy managers trusting in him thus far. The Houston Texans were one of the most difficult defensive matchups of the schedule, so there could be an opportunity for Engram to bounce back against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 10. With RotoBaller having Engram ranked as the TE23 against the Raiders, it's likely best to look for an option with more upside.

Chicago Bears rookie tight end Colston Loveland broke out in a big way in Week 9, catching six of seven targets for 118 yards and two touchdowns in the Bears' 47-42 win over the Bengals. The highlight came on a 58-yard game-winning touchdown, capping off a monster performance that pushed Chicago to a 5-3 record. With Cole Kmet exiting early due to a concussion, Loveland stepped in as the primary tight end, logging 79% of the offensive snaps. Now, with Kmet still in concussion protocol entering Week 10, Loveland could once again handle a full workload against the New York Giants, who have allowed the ninth-most passing yards in the NFL this season. If Kmet remains sidelined, Loveland is a must-start fantasy option across all formats, offering TE1 upside in Week 10.
