Colston Loveland vs Dallas Goedert: Who Should You Start?
Colston Loveland and Dallas Goedert are both viable fantasy tight ends heading into 2026, but their 2025 production tells two different stories. Colston Loveland averaged 8.5 PPG across 16 games with the Chicago Bears, while Dallas Goedert posted 10.3 PPG in 15 appearances for the Philadelphia Eagles.
A 1.8-PPG gap gives Dallas Goedert the edge on paper, but paper does not account for Thursday night matchups, weather games, or a star defender returning from injury. The real question is not who was better in 2025, but who is the better start this specific week.
Both see steady target volume for the tight end position. Colston Loveland had 58 catches for 713 yards; Dallas Goedert posted 60 for 591. At a position where most starters barely clear 7 PPG, this class of tight end is where the fantasy advantage lives week to week.
Colston Loveland has his bye in Week 7, and Dallas Goedert rests in Week 5. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at tight end for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
