Quick answer
WatchLoveland caught 19 passes for 175 yards in 2026, ranking TE27 through 6 games. From TE12 to TE27 through 6 games is a dip in pace, not a locked finish. 2026 looks more like a flex than a locked starter. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
