Loveland faces scrutiny as a draft pick; his role could grow if Williams thrives, impacting Chicago’s red-zone and intermediate targets.

Loveland, a high draft pick, has seen limited targets; the article questions the fit given the TE-heavy draft and current pass distribution.

Loveland has battled a shoulder and hip injury that stunted his breakout timeline, leaving him with three catches on six targets for 43 yards over three games. Drafted 10th overall, the tight end class commitment has paid off little in the early season context, and his blocking grade trails peers. Health and usage will determine his true fantasy upside.

Loveland’s injury opens depth-chart questions behind the Bears’ tight ends, with Carlson stepping up from the practice squad to fill a notable role.

Loveland is questionable with a hip injury and not expected to play against the Raiders, forcing Chicago to lean on other tight ends.
