Should You Start Colston Loveland at Tight End in Week 2 vs. Minnesota?
If Loveland got shut out in your Week 1 lineup, benching him for Week 2 is a reasonable gut reaction. But that’s not what the data points to for this matchup.
What the prediction says
NFL.com’s Week 2 bold-predictions column projects Loveland to lead all tight ends in receiving against Minnesota — a reversal from a scoreless Week 1. That’s a notable jump for one week, and it’s worth taking seriously when you’re setting your lineup.
What to do with your lineup
- Treat it as a prediction, not a lock. This is one analyst’s projection for the week, not a confirmed stat line. Loveland could still have a quiet game.
- Weigh the reversal. Going from zero targets/catches to a projected TE1 performance is a big swing, and the source doesn’t explain what’s driving the change (matchup, usage, scheme) — so don’t overweight it beyond what’s stated.
- Check for late-breaking news before your lineup locks. Nothing in this source addresses Loveland’s health, practice status, or snap-count trends, so confirm there’s nothing new before you finalize your roster.
⚠️ The source material doesn’t include FanDuel or DraftKings odds, ownership percentages, or salary info for Loveland — if you’re comparing him on a specific platform, you’ll need to check that app directly, since none of that is covered here.
Bottom line
Based only on what’s confirmed here, Loveland is projected as a strong Week 2 play against Minnesota. Given how quickly weekly projections can change, it’s worth a last check of the official injury report or any lineup news before kickoff.
