Quick answer
WatchLoveland caught 13 passes for 110 yards in 2026, ranking TE36 through 5 games. From TE12 to TE36 through 5 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.
