Colston Loveland vs Harold Fannin
Colston Loveland holds a 36% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 9/23/2026
THE CASE FOR LOVELAND
Loveland is the better bet to become a weekly difference-maker at TE: he profiles as a primary-route, target-earning option rather than a role-dependent piece. Chicago offers a clearer path to designed usage and red-zone deployment, and his higher market value reflects stronger confidence in his long-term ceiling. With a ~35% value gap, you’re paying for a more stable hit-rate plus more ways to win (volume, efficiency, TDs).
THE CASE FOR FANNIN
Fannin’s appeal is cost: at ~65% of Loveland’s price, he can outperform the gap if he earns a full-time route share quickly. Cleveland’s offense can concentrate targets, and if he becomes the No. 2/3 option, the weekly startability at TE can show up fast. He’s the better leverage play if you think both land in the same tier within 12–18 months.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Take Loveland—higher probability of bankable weekly usage is worth the premium when points matter now.
Lean Loveland if you can, but Fannin is a fine pivot if you can add a meaningful sweetener/pick with the savings.
At a 35% gap, I prefer Loveland unless you’re getting enough extra to erase most of that delta.
FREQUENTLY ASKED
Worth more?
Loveland is worth more by a clear margin, and the current ~35% gap is broadly justified by his higher projected hit-rate/ceiling.
Trade?
Only move off Loveland for Fannin if you’re also getting a real add (e.g., an extra 2nd or a player you’d start), otherwise keep the premium asset.
Superflex?
In SF, QBs push both down slightly, but the relative ordering stays the same: Loveland > Fannin unless the add is substantial.
