Kmet could be second on the Bears in receptions this season, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
After signing a big contract extension, Kmet is expected to be a core part of the Bears offense. He also provides the team with a big target in the middle of the field, and there are no established high-volume wideouts on the roster aside from DJ Moore. Expect the team to use plenty of two tight end packages, and Robert Tonyan will play quite a bit, but Kmet has a chance to be a featured part of the passing game.
