Colston Loveland vs Evan Engram: Who Should You Start?

Deciding between Colston Loveland and Evan Engram is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Chicago Bears tight end put up 8.5 PPG in 2025 over 16 games; Evan Engram of the Denver Broncos averaged 4.9 in 16. A 3.6-point margin that could shift on any given week.

The per-game difference of 3.6 points favors Colston Loveland, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one tight end to the other.

Both see steady target volume for the tight end position. Colston Loveland had 58 catches for 713 yards; Evan Engram posted 50 for 461. At a position where most starters barely clear 7 PPG, this class of tight end is where the fantasy advantage lives week to week.

One scheduling note: Colston Loveland is off Week 7 and Evan Engram Week 14. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in tight end for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
