• Bears' Cole Kmet: Disappointing season concludes

  01/06/2025 • By RotoWire

  Kmet caught both his targets for three yards in the Bears' 24-22 win over the Packers on Sunday. Kmet posted a career year in 2023, recording 73 catches on 90 targets for 719 yards and six touchdowns while serving as the de facto No. 2 option in the team's passing attack. The Bears had three quality wide receivers in 2024 however after bringing in Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze to support DJ Moore, while rookie QB Caleb Williams was not an immediate success in the NFL. As a result, Kmet was targeted just 55 times, leading to 474 yards and four touchdowns. In terms of receptions and yardage, this was the tight end's worst season since his rookie campaign in 2020. Kmet will need the Chicago passing attack to take a major step forward under its new coaching staff if he has any hope of being a solid fantasy option again, although if Allen departs in free agency, it could open up more looks for the TE. Kmet is under contract with the Bears through 2027.

• Bears' Cole Kmet: TEs to Sit

  Kmet had no targets in Week 17 against Seattle, which is the second time in his past four games without a target. He scored a touchdown in Week 16 against Detroit, but he only had 8.9 PPR points, which is the fifth game in a row with single digits in PPR. He had three catches for 42 yards on three targets against Green Bay in Week 11 for 7.2 PPR points, and that's probably the best you should expect from Kmet in Week 18.

• Bears' Cole Kmet: Blanked in Thursday's loss

  12/27/2024 • By RotoWire

  Kmet wasn't targeted in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Seahawks. Kmet was far from the only Chicago player to post an underwhelming stat line as the Bears produced just 179 yards of offense en route to a 10th consecutive defeat. The lone target among Chicago's tight ends Thursday went to Gerald Everett. Kmet will look to bounce back Week 18 against a Packers defense that permitted him to catch three passes for 42 yards back in Week 11.

  Kmet scored a touchdown in Week 16 against Detroit, but don't go chasing that production in Week 17 against Seattle. Kmet only had two targets against the Lions, and he finished with two catches for 9 yards and the score for 8.9 PPR points. He's now scored fewer than 9.0 PPR points in eight of his past nine games and four in a row, and the Seahawks haven't allowed a tight end to score a touchdown since Week 8. Kmet is not worth trusting in the majority of leagues.

• Bears' Cole Kmet: Scores touchdown in losing effort

  12/23/2024 • By RotoWire

  Kmet caught two passes on two targets for nine yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 34-17 loss to the Lions on Sunday. Kmet found the end zone for the first time since Chicago's Week 7 bye. In the last three games, the tight end has a total of three receptions on three targets. Kmet has only one game with more than four targets over his last eight contests. Although the veteran is a talented player, his scoring floor remains low due to lack of volume.
