Colston Loveland vs Mason Taylor: Who Should You Start?

Two tight ends who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Colston Loveland (Chicago Bears) finished the 2025 season averaging 8.5 fantasy points per game in 16 games. Mason Taylor (New York Jets) came in at 5.1 PPG over 13 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.

Colston Loveland carries a 3.4-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.

Both see steady target volume for the tight end position. Colston Loveland had 58 catches for 713 yards; Mason Taylor posted 44 for 369. 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 Mason Taylor rests in Week 12. 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.
