Colston Loveland, Bears, No. 22 TE in some Week 2 rankings, faced limited Week 1 snaps behind Cole Kmet. His Week 2 involvement depends on improvement in playing time, with Lions as the next test, keeping him on the radar in deeper formats.

Loveland, Bears TE, carries upside behind the top tight end and could carve out a steady Week 2 role in deeper formats. His Week 1 involvement suggests a real role in Chicago’s offense that could grow as the season progresses.

Loveland, the first-rounder, logged two catches for 12 yards in his NFL debut and didn’t leave a strong impression in the run game. With Kmet posting a 31-yard catch, Loveland’s usage hints at a growing but not yet dominant role in Chicago's TE corps.

Loveland joins Loveland with upside as a Bears TE option, potentially carving a role early as Chicago leans on tighter formations and a strengthened interior line to support Williams’ transition.

Loveland’s presence as a rookie tight end in Chicago’s revamped offense provides Williams with a versatile seam option and red-zone threat. His route-running and blocking will shape Week 1 targets and could anchor a growing TE position as the Bears lean into multiple-tight-end sets.
