Colston Loveland's fantasy role in Week 10
Colston Loveland goes into Week 10 of the 2026 season as a matchup-dependent TE option for the CHI. He is rostered in 96% of leagues and actually started in 47% of them, and we rank him TE7 on our own weekly board at 5.8 projected points.
Interest is cooling — roster rates slipped roughly 1% in the last week, so he is getting cheaper to acquire if you believe in the role.
No injury designation to work around right now, which keeps his projection honest.
Week 10 matchup breakdown
The CHI are on bye in Week 10, so there is no matchup to grade. Anyone holding him needs a one-week fill-in from the waiver wire.
How to play it
Colston Loveland is on bye in Week 10 — replace him and revisit next week.
Use the waiver wire for a one-week plug and keep him on your bench if you are otherwise healthy at TE.
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Colston Loveland (CHI TE), our TE7 this week for Week 10 of the 2026 NFL season (his team is on bye), projecting 5.8 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Sally wants fireworks, and 1.2 points below a typical starter isn't fireworks. He's still in 47% of lineups at 96% rostered, which is exactly the trap I'm trying to talk you out of. Nothing in the projection defends him — 17% below positional par is a bench line for me. Mild on the Pepper Meter reflects a steady weekly floor rather than a boom week — that's still a start.
Tina's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Colston Loveland (CHI TE), our TE7 this week for Week 10 of the 2026 NFL season (his team is on bye), projecting 5.8 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. Tina would rather take the cheaper, steadier option than 1.2 points of shortfall. 5.8 points is roughly 17% short of the TE baseline, and I honestly rank on output, not name recognition. No game on the schedule this week, so the only decision is who replaces him. Tina keeps the Pepper Meter at Mild here because the ceiling is capped, not the role.
