Colston Loveland vs Tucker Kraft: Who Should You Start?
If you are choosing between Colston Loveland and Tucker Kraft for your lineup, you are not alone. Colston Loveland finished the 2025 season at 8.5 PPG for the Chicago Bears (16 games), and Tucker Kraft averaged 12.6 for the Green Bay Packers (8 games).
That 4.1-point weekly advantage for Tucker Kraft is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.
Colston Loveland is the volume tight end in this matchup with 58 receptions for 713 yards, while Tucker Kraft profiles as a more touchdown-dependent spike play (6 scores on 32 catches). In weeks where Tucker Kraft finds the end zone he out-scores Colston Loveland, but the floor gap is real.
Colston Loveland has his bye in Week 7, and Tucker Kraft rests in Week 10. 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.
