Colston Loveland vs Kyle Pitts
Colston Loveland holds a 50.6% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 9/17/2026
THE CASE FOR LOVELAND
Loveland is 3.5 years younger and already priced as an elite dynasty TE, giving you a longer runway and more insulation against value loss. At 5,070 vs 2,880 in SF valuation, the market is telling you his outcome range is viewed as higher and/or more likely, and that gap matters in liquidity if you ever need to pivot. If he hits as a top-6 TE, you’re holding a long-term starter whose trade value can stay premium through multiple roster cycles.
THE CASE FOR PITTS
Pitts is the cheaper bet on elite tools and a still-young profile at 25.8, and that discount bakes in a lot of the risk already. If his role/usage swings back toward featured targets, he’s one of the few TEs with true difference-making ceiling and could re-rate quickly at this price. In TE premium or any league where weekly TE edge is scarce, buying the dip on Pitts can be the most cost-efficient way to chase that upside.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Loveland if you need stability and trade insulation; Pitts if you already have a safe TE and want the cheaper ceiling swing.
Loveland because the age/value profile is a cleaner cornerstone and should hold value better over the rebuild timeline.
At a 43.2% gap, I’d need a meaningful add on top of Pitts to move off Loveland; straight-up I’m taking Loveland.

Trade?
If you have Loveland, only pivot to Pitts if you’re getting Pitts plus a significant sweetener (e.g., a strong 2nd or better depending on format).
Superflex?
In SF the TE gap still matters, but I’d rather use Pitts’ discount to help you acquire/keep QB insulation unless your roster is already strong at QB.
