Colston Loveland vs Tyler Warren: Who Should You Start?
The gap between Colston Loveland and Tyler Warren is smaller than most fantasy managers think. Separated by just 0.4 PPG in 2025, this is one of those tight end decisions that comes down to context, not name recognition. Colston Loveland averaged 8.5 PPG with the Chicago Bears across 16 games, and Tyler Warren posted 8.9 with the Indianapolis Colts in 17.
When two tight ends are separated by less than two points per game, the decision shifts to weekly context. Who has the softer defense? Who is trending up over the last month? Which team is projected for more total points? Those are the tiebreakers that actually matter.
Tyler Warren is the volume tight end in this matchup with 76 receptions for 817 yards, while Colston Loveland profiles as a more touchdown-dependent spike play (6 scores on 58 catches). In weeks where Colston Loveland finds the end zone he out-scores Tyler Warren, but the floor gap is real.
Colston Loveland has his bye in Week 7, and Tyler Warren rests in Week 14. 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.
