Kraft’s early-season breakout potential sits atop the list for 2025, with Loveland & Pitts providing complementary upside as season-long moves unfold. Kraft offers a clear path to value if Green Bay leans into the pass more and targets rise, while Loveland presents late-season upside as Chicago’s offense stabilizes. Pitts remains a high-variance option, dependent on QB play and pass volume. Sam LaPorta’s TE1 rookie year offers a blueprint for breakout tight ends, and Dalton Kincaid alongside Darren Waller add steady floor upside in Bills and Giants lineups.

In short, target these late TE movers with awareness of quarterback changes, offensive schemes, and workload shifts. The article frames three late TE targets and sharpens draft decisions with direct comparisons across the position, equipping fantasy managers to build balanced rosters around trusted veterans and high-upside rookies.

Olamide Zaccheaus is shaping up as Caleb Williams’ most reliable Bears target, flashing a 36-yard connection in the preseason and thriving after the catch. Williams trusts him, and Zaccheaus’ yak ability could lift Chicago's passing game.

With four premium receivers and two tight ends, Chicago’s aerial attack could push franchise records if Williams keeps building chemistry. Fantasy managers should watch Zaccheaus as a floor-friendly upside play in Chicago’s high-volume offense.
