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

Monday, November 10, 12:31 PM

Ja'Tavion Sanders had his best game since Week 2 in Carolina's 17-7 loss to the New Orleans Saints in Week 10, but his totals were still underwhelming. The Carolina tight end caught all five of his targets for 32 yards and logged 8.2 PPR fantasy points. Despite being tied for the most receptions of all pass catchers on the Panthers, Tetairoa McMillan still outperformed him in yardage, 60 to 32. Carolina will next take on the Atlanta Falcons, who ranked first in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to TEs (6.43) in the four weeks leading up to Week 10. The second-year TE has not proven he can overcome the daunting matchup. With one of the worst matchups for his position, fantasy players can continue to scroll past his name when looking for a streaming or fill-in TE.

Chicago Bears rookie tight end Colston Loveland is coming off a huge performance, posting 118 yards and two touchdowns in the 47-42 win over Cincinnati. The breakout game finally arrived for the 10th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, beating his previous career high in yards by 80 yards. However, that surge came with veteran Cole Kmet leaving early due to a concussion. Kmet is off the injury report and set to return for Week 10 against the Giants. On the season, Kmet has played 70% of the snaps compared to Loveland's 56%, and his presence has consistently capped Loveland's routes and target share. With Kmet back in the mix and 25+ mph winds expected to limit the passing game, Loveland is a strong candidate for regression this week.
