CHI TE Cole Kmet - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at New York Giants

After starting the season with a pair of goose eggs, Cole Kmet bounced back by leading the Bears in receiving yards in Week 3. Kmet finished 2-40 on three targets, which isn't much, but it's better than nothing. There isn't much production to go around with the Bears' receiving options as Justin Fields hasn't completed more than 8 passes in any game. Kmet is not a good option at tight end in Week 4. It's also worth pointing out that it's been 25 games since Kmet last scored a touchdown. And he's only played in 36 career games.

CHI TE Cole Kmet - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Houston Texans

Cole Kmet should change his jersey number to 00 because that's what he's done to start the year. Kmet has dropped two goose eggs in the first two weeks. Perhaps even worse is he's seen just one target in each game. If he's going to bounce back, this would be the week in a favorable matchup vs. the Texans. But it's really difficult to trust someone with 0 receptions through two games. Kmet isn't the worst option if you're in a pinch, but we'd likely look elsewhere in Week 3.

CHI TE Cole Kmet - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Green Bay Packers

Cole Kmet finished with a goose egg in Week 1 while only seeing one target. Oddly enough, backup tight end Ryan Griffin saw more targets (2) than Kmet. It's somewhat of a fluke game considering the heavy rain, but it's still not an inspiring start for a tight end who already had production issues. He should finish with more than 0 yards in Week 2, but he's still not a strong play. He'll be in the TE15-TE20 range for Week 2 against the Packers.

CHI TE Cole Kmet - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. San Francisco 49ers
Cole Kmet had a decent season last year, finishing 12th among all tight ends in receiving yards (612) and receptions (60). His big blemish was the fact he scored 0 touchdowns, which is somewhat unheard of for a starting tight end as involved in the passing game as he was. Jimmy Graham vultured some of those scores, and he’s gone now, so maybe Kmet can improve in that area. This week he faces a 49ers defense that was brutal on tight ends a year ago, allowing the second-fewest average fantasy points to the position. Kmet himself finished 3-24 on six targets last season. He’ll be a low-end TE1 play for Week 1.

CHI TE Cole Kmet - 2022 Fantasy Football Outlook

2022 Fantasy Upside
Cole Kmet improved in Year 2 as he saw much more playing time, jumping from 243 receiving yards as a rookie to 612 yards in his second year. Kmet was second on the team in receiving yards, receptions and targets a season ago. With Allen Robinson and Jimmy Graham departing, there’s a chance we see Kmet take another step forward as he enters Year 3. With the lack of receiving threats in Chicago, Kmet should continue to be the No. 2 option in this offense in 2022.

2022 Fantasy Downside
Kmet went all of 2021 without scoring a touchdown, which isn’t great as that’s usually the category where tight ends shine. Kmet also has a knack for some really bad games, finishing below 20 receiving yards five times last season. He also rarely has big games, finishing above 50 yards just three times last year.

2022 Bottom Line
We expect Kmet to mostly repeat what he did a year ago. He was already the No. 2 option last year, and he’ll continue in that role in 2022. Kmet was fairly consistent with his production, with a few highs and a few lows. He finished between 40-50 yards in 35% of his games last season. He averaged 3.5 receptions for 36.0 yards per game, which is around what we project for him this year as well. We do expect him to improve as a red zone threat, though. With Graham gone, Kmet will likely absorb his touchdowns (3-4) this year. Kmet should be viewed around the TE15 range, and is available as a late-round flier in fantasy drafts.

CHI TE Cole Kmet - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. New York Giants

Cole Kmet is still without a touchdown this year as Jimmy Graham was the latest Bears tight end to vulture him. Kmet has 0 touchdowns while other Bears' tight ends have combined for six touchdowns. Kmet was somewhat productive outside of his lack of scoring, finishing 4-49 on five targets. It was a pretty standard game for him as he's averaging 3.5 receptions for 35.9 yards this season. He gets an OK matchup vs. the Giants this week, but we'd expect more of the same from Kmet in Week 17. He's outside of the top 10 tight ends for Week 17, ranking closer to around TE15.

CHI TE Cole Kmet - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Seattle Seahawks

Cole Kmet led the Bears in targets last week with nine as he had one of his more productive games of the season, finishing 6-71. Kmet still hasn't scored a touchdown this season, though, which is surprising for a tight end with 49 receptions on the year. Kmet has had some productive games this year, but he's also wildly inconsistent. At the end of the day, he's a tight end averaging 3.5 receptions for 35 yards with no touchdowns. He does get a favorable matchup this week vs. the Seahawks, who have given up the 7th-most receptions to tight ends, but Kmet is still somewhat of a risky play due to him being a boom-or-bust player. Still, he's not a horrible choice considering the shallow nature of the tight end position. He can be viewed as a lower-end TE1 play this week.
