1) Colston Loveland

The monstrous first-round pick finally had his breakout game, and with his fellow Bears TE Cole Kmet injured, Loveland should have a more reliable workload in the short term at minimum.

Plus, this temporary volume increase combined with his draft pedigree and overall talent level should lead to an improved target share ROS regardless.

Loveland’s catch radius knows no bounds, and he’s an absolute mad scientist when it comes to YAC (6th among TEs in YAC above expectation) as defenders bounce off of him with ease like his body is a literal cement wall.

His route-running skills are more polished than the average tight end too, and so far he ranks ninth among TEs in average separation, per Next Gen Stats.

After his career day, Loveland now ranks, among TEs:

Since returning from injury and the bye, the Bears have made a concerted effort to get Loveland more involved as his targets, receiving yards, and fantasy points have increased each of the past four weeks.

Going forward, the highly-drafted big-bodied target with big-play ability should be valued as a lock-it-in high-end TE1 as long as Cole Kmet is out.

Once Kmet returns, we will have to see how much Loveland’s targets per game are impacted but it’s hard to imagine this young, highly-skilled defensive mismatch that the organization invested a top-10 pick in falls out of high-end TE2 with TE1 upside territory for the rest of the season.

 

 

2) Alec Pierce

Alec Pierce has been quietly putting together a solid WR3 fantasy season, but remains unclaimed in 88% of ESPN fantasy leagues.

If not for the volatility of the TE position and Tucker Kraft tearing his ACL, Pierce would easily be #1 on this week’s list over Loveland.

Pierce has transitioned from just a pure deep threat this season to a serviceable and dependable mid-area target, which has increased his consistency and target share markedly.

Pierce’s route-running has improved in 2025, and he is elite when it comes to his body control and ability to out-leap defenders to snatch footballs at their highest point.

Through 10 weeks among 2025 WRs, Pierce ranks:

The dynamic young playmaker has scored at least 8.9 fantasy points, seen at least five targets, and gone for at least 67 receiving yards in five of his seven games this season as he’s demonstrated underrated consistency with a fantasy-relevant floor.

Pierce has also gone for at least 98 yards and 14.8 fantasy points while seeing double-digit targets in two of his past three weeks.

Moreover, Pierce is currently averaging the 11th-most receiving yards per game at 71.6 which is more than: Davante Adams, Jordan Addison, Michael Pittman Jr., Tee Higgins, Emeka Egbuka, Nico Collins, Zay Flowers, A.J. Brown, Marvin Harrison Jr., Tet McMillan, Rome Odunze, D.K. Metcalf, and Ladd McConkey.

Finally, Alec Pierce also ranks 9th in the NFL in air yards share with 36%, and for context yes that is an incredibly significant stat (JSN leads the league while Chase, Jefferson, and Amon-Ra St. Brown all rank inside the top-10).

 

 

3) Parker Washington

With Travis Hunter now on IR and Brian Thomas ailing with a shoulder injury, Parker Washington might be the #1 receiver on the Jaguars offense, at least until Jakobi Meyers fully learns the playbook and is fully incorporated into the offense.

Additionally, Washington now has at least nine targets in back-to-back weeks, which is automatic fantasy WR2 volume at minimum.

For a while he’s seemed like possibly the most-trusted receiver on the team this year in terms of his consistent hands, ability to create separation and make contested catches, and the Jags tendency to go to Washington in critical or third down situations.

In terms of 2025 receivers, Parker Washington’s ranks currently sit at:

Adam Schefter also said on ESPN on November 3rd that “it’s gonna be a while” until we see Travis Hunter again, so Washington’s back-to-back weeks of fantasy WR2 performance with WR1 volume could be a season long situation, especially if he outperforms the older and less dynamic Jakobi Meyers.

On the season, his workload already puts him on the fantasy radar regardless of the other injuries in the Jags’ WR room as Washington has accounted for almost a quarter (23%) of all of Jacksonville’s air yards.

Considering Travis Hunter is sidelined for at least the next four weeks and Brian Thomas Jr. has struggled, Washington profiles as a solid WR3 in Week 10 with an encouraging floor, but his ceiling is slightly capped due to his teams’ below-average offense and their new trade.

Although Jaguars just traded for Jakobi from the Raiders, Parker has the edge over the Las Vegas acquisition at least in the short term due to his already existing knowledge of the Jaguars playbook, chemistry with Trevor Lawrence, and advantage over Meyers when it comes to explosiveness and home-run ability.
