Colston Loveland vs George Kittle
Colston Loveland holds a 58.4% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 9/17/2026
THE CASE FOR LOVELAND
Loveland is a 22-year-old TE with a massive dynasty window, and the market is already pricing him like a long-term cornerstone. The 58.8% value gap reflects insulation: even a merely “good not great” start still holds trade value because of age and prospect profile. If he hits early, you’re buying into multiple years of top-tier TE outcomes rather than a single-season bet.
THE CASE FOR KITTLE
Kittle is still one of the few tight ends who can swing weekly matchups with elite YAC and multi-TD upside when healthy. For contenders, his points-per-start edge in the near term can outweigh the dynasty value gap, especially if your alternative is TE streaming. His lower cost also makes him a clean way to add high-end TE production without paying the premium prospect tax.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Lean Kittle if you’re truly chasing a title this year and need TE points now; otherwise take the insulated value in Loveland.
Loveland by a mile—age, value insulation, and multi-year runway beat a 32-year-old TE asset every time.
At a 58.8% gap, the market is telling you Loveland unless Kittle is the final missing starter for a championship push.
