The Chicago Bears will visit the Minnesota Vikings in Week 11. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding TE Colston Loveland.
Is Colston Loveland Playing in Week 11?
Loveland is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Bears’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Loveland in Week 11?
The Bears had Colston Loveland on the field to start last game and while the 9.5 fantasy points isn’t swinging matchups like his breakout game in Cincinnati did, it’s enough to assume that he continues to see this role expanded.
I’m encouraged by the upside. So few players at the TE position offer a realistic floor, so the fact that Loveland has earned multiple deep targets in two straight says to me that this team trusts him to impact the game in a major way.
The short targets should be there weekly and if the downfield usage sustains, especially against an aggressive defense like this that could leave a linebacker in an awfully uncomfortable matchup, we are looking at a top 10 player the rest of the way.
I’ve got him ranked as such: he’s not Tyler Warren, but he is awfully impressive and we have a large enough sample of Ben Johnson elevating players like that with time.
