Colston Loveland

Colston Loveland enters Year 2 as Chicago’s TE2 at age 21, ranked #13 in Verdict’s dynasty score (61.0, stable trend). He posted 136.1 fantasy points in 2025 on a 64.9% snap share — a TE2-locked profile with rising usage. Contender rosters should view him as a developmental asset.

Loveland logs 64.9% of Chicago’s offensive snaps under Ben Johnson’s McVay-tree scheme, which prioritizes pre-snap motion and RPO. The 2025 baseline — 713 receiving yards on 58/82 targets, 6 touchdowns, and 30 first downs — shows a developing line item that scales in custom scoring where first downs pay +0.5. Rising snap share and an increasing role in the passing game drive a stable projection floor.

Loveland carried full participation in practice across every reported injury check in 2025, with only two questionable designations — Week 4 and Week 6. Limited injury exposure and a developing skill set reduce the risk of a significant injury setback.

Snap share trends upward, with a 64.9% average across 16 games. Chicago runs a passing-oriented scheme under Ben Johnson, and Loveland’s 58/82 targets confirm a developing role in the passing game. No TE1 threat exists on the depth chart, with Loveland currently the clear #2.

Ben Johnson’s McVay-tree scheme with pre-snap motion and RPO prioritizes the tight end position, and Loveland’s 713 receiving yards on 58/82 targets reflect his increasing role in the passing game. The 30 first downs on 713 receiving yards show designed production from the tight end spot, which will continue to grow as Loveland’s skills develop.

Stable Verdict’s dynasty score stabilizes at 61.0, reflecting Loveland’s 64.9% snap share and 136.1-point finish across 16 games in 2025.

Ceiling clears 136.1 points if receiving yards advance past 713 and targets expand beyond 58 — the combination pays heavily in this custom format with +0.5 first downs. Floor tracks near 136.1 given locked 64.9% snap share and an unchanged scheme. A mid-season injury is the only realistic path to meaningful regression below that line.
