Colston Loveland vs Trey McBride
Trey McBride holds a 29.2% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 9/18/2026
THE CASE FOR LOVELAND
Loveland is a 22-year-old rookie TE whose dynasty value can climb quickly if he earns an immediate route-heavy role in Chicago. You’re buying a multi-year runway and the chance he becomes a top-6 TE asset at a notably cheaper price than the elite tier. At SF 5,070, he’s the better bet to gain value over the next 12–24 months if he hits even a strong “TE1 by year 2” trajectory.
THE CASE FOR MCBRIDE
McBride is already an established target-earning centerpiece and carries the strongest weekly floor/ceiling combo among non-premium-position dynasty assets. He’s in the prime production window for a TE and is priced accordingly because his role is bankable and he can be a difference-maker in points. At SF 6,457, the 21.5% premium is essentially paying for certainty and immediate weekly advantage.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
McBride—pay the premium for bankable weekly scoring and a positional edge right now.
Loveland—take the age/value-growth profile and keep the extra market value to diversify your build.
If your lineup needs points in 2025, lean McBride; if you can wait and want upside/value insulation, lean Loveland at the discount.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
Worth more?
McBride is worth more today, but Loveland has the cleaner path to appreciating from his current price.
Trade?
I’d move Loveland + a small add for McBride as a contender, but I’d take Loveland plus value back if I’m not winning this year.
Superflex?
In SF the gap is still justified for contenders, but I’m less willing to pay it if that extra 21.5% costs you a starting QB/WR slot upgrade.
