Career History

Chicago Bears 2020-Present (6 seasons)

Cole Kmet: Breaking News

Low-volume role continues

Kmet caught two of three targets for 16 yards in the Bears' 19-16 loss to the Lions on Sunday. Kmet finished the season with 30 receptions on 48 targets for 347 yards and two touchdowns while catching two or fewer passes in all but three games. He was held under 20 receiving yards nine times and frequently operated as a blocker in two-tight-end sets alongside Colston Loveland. He is signed with Chicago through 2027 but projects as a low-ceiling fantasy option if his usage remains unchanged.

Low-volume role persists

Kmet caught both targets for 16 yards in the Bears' 42-38 loss to the 49ers on Sunday. Kmet has caught two or three passes in five straight contests, including two targets in this game while operating behind Colston Loveland. After posting between 28 and 45 receiving yards in four of those games, he has been held to 16 yards or fewer in his last two. The limited target volume keeps him confined to deep-league tight end consideration.

Low-volume usage persists

Kmet caught two passes for 14 yards on three targets in the Bears' 22-16 overtime win over the Packers on Saturday. Kmet has caught exactly two passes in four straight contests, continuing to operate as the secondary tight end behind Colston Loveland. This marked his first game under 28 receiving yards during that stretch, but the low number of receptions limits his fantasy upside, keeping him confined to deep-league fantasy consideration.
