Who Should I Start? Ja'Tavion Sanders or Colston Loveland

Chicago Bears tight end Colston Loveland was one of 2025's most exciting rookies, and expectations are sky-high heading into his second season. By the end of the year, Chicago had built their base offense around multi-tight end sets, from which Loveland became a fantasy dominator, topping 18.4 half-PPR points in the final two contests of the regular season and in the Bears' Wild Card win over the Packers. With Chicago trading away D.J. Moore and spending a third-round pick on Stanford tight end Sam Roush, there's a chance the Bears could lean even more into heavy personnel usage in 2026, which could genuinely make Loveland undervalued even at RotoBaller's dynasty TE3 and a top 50 overall player. With three tight ends on the field in 2025, Loveland averaged almost 4.7 yards per route run while racking up more than half of the team's receiving yards from such sets. While receivers Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III both offer a lot for dynasty managers to be excited about in an offense without Moore, Loveland could see the highest ceiling of the three and is potentially still a bargain despite being one of the most hyped players of the 2026 offseason.
