Young TE with runway — the score still pays for the years ahead.
DVS is our model view, scored on Engine-default half-PPR — not a guaranteed price in your league. Bye weeks and schedule strength are left out on purpose.

Quick answer
BuyLoveland caught 58 passes for 713 yards in 2025, finishing TE12. He scored 9% more than his touches said he should. He's 22 — best seasons can still be ahead if the role holds. 2026 looks more like a flex than a locked starter. Age is on his side — a reasonable buy if the TE role keeps opening up.
