Colston Loveland vs Malik Nabers: Who Should You Start?

Comparing Colston Loveland (TE, Chicago Bears) against Malik Nabers (WR, New York Giants) means weighing two different roles in your fantasy lineup. Colston Loveland averaged 8.5 PPG in 2025 over 16 games, while Malik Nabers posted 12.0 PPG across 4 games.

Cross-position FLEX decisions cannot be made on PPG alone. Positional scarcity, matchup quality, floor versus ceiling, and league scoring format all shift the answer. A 14 PPG tight end in a thin TE week is often worth more than a 16 PPG receiver in a deep WR week, because the opportunity cost on the waiver wire is wildly different.

DraftCall's AI engine weighs all of these signals and returns a verdict with clear reasoning, so you are not cross-referencing four different rankings tabs on a Sunday morning.

Colston Loveland has his bye in Week 7, Malik Nabers in Week 11. Plan your FLEX rotation around those weeks, especially if either player is anchoring your roster.
