Chicago Bears TE Cole Kmet hauled in both of his targets for three yards in Week 18 against the Green Bay Packers.
Huddle Up: Kmet may not be a game-changer per se, but it was shocking to see how much his role in the Chicago offense was minimized after posting 26 catches for 289 yards and three touchdowns through six games. From that point on, he could muster only 21 receptions for 185 yards and a score. The Bears have several things to fix under their to-be-determined new head coach, and one of the top priorities will be to get Kmet more involved. It should come as no surprise if a sharp offensive mind - if hired - can help Kmet return to being a low-end fantasy TE1.

Chicago Bears TE Cole Kmet finished with two catches for nine yards and a touchdown in a 34-17 loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 16.
Huddle Up: The touchdown somewhat salvaged an otherwise quiet game, and Kmet has a total of his six catches for 49 yards across the last four games. He can't be counted on to be a fantasy starter.

Chicago Bears TE Cole Kmet ended up with a 14-yard reception on his lone target in Week 15 against the Minnesota Vikings.
Huddle Up: Kmet had a disappointing Monday night game, and that comes on the heels of his Week 14 outing with no catches or targets in San Francisco. He cannot be trusted in this critical juncture of the fantasy season in Week 16 against the Detroit Lions.

Chicago Bears TE Cole Kmet caught all three of his targets for 26 yards in Week 13 versus the Detroit Lions.
Huddle Up: Much like the other Chicago pass-catchers, Kmet fell victim to the Bears' slow start on Thursday. Unlike DJ Moore and Keenan Allen, however, Kmet was not overly involved once the offense began to catch fire. Kmet remains a decent TE2 option, but he often takes a back seat to his aforementioned teammates and Rome Odunze. Fantasy managers hopefully have a better option than Kmet as the weekly starter at tight end by now - a sentiment that will remain true in Week 14 versus the San Francisco 49ers.

Chicago Bears TE Cole Kmet ended up with seven receptions for 64 yards on 10 targets in Week 12 against the Minnesota Vikings.
Huddle Up: Kmet had his highest catch total since Week 3 in Indianapolis, and it was just his second time with at least 60 receiving yards in the past eight games. He needs to have this type of production consistently to get back into the TE1 conversation in most fantasy leagues. Kmet remains more of a TE2 for now. The Bears meet the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving in Week 13.

Chicago Bears TE Cole Kmet ended up with three receptions for 42 yards on three targets in Week 11 against the Green Bay Packers.
Huddle Up: Kmet's three receptions were his most since Week 6 against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. He has TE1 ability, but he has just six grabs for 69 yards on eight targets in the past four outings. He has been a little nicked up, performing more like a TE2 in most formats. Treat him as such into Week 12 against the Minnesota Vikings.

Chicago Bears TE Cole Kmet caught two passes for 13 yards against the New England Patriots in Week 10. He was targeted four times during the game.
Huddle Up: Kmet is on a cold streak with only 27 yards total over the last three games. Fantasy players may want to avoid Kmet until he is more involved in the passing game.

Chicago Bears TE Cole Kmet was not targeted during the club's Week 9 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.
Huddle Up: Kmet, who had a nice run from Week 3 through Week 6, has been completely absent from the game plan since the Bears returned from their Bye, being targeted exactly once over the last two games combined. He's had enough nice games this year to show he's capable of producing TE1 numbers, but with several of the underperforming tight ends stepping things up lately it's easy to advocate moving on from Kmet outside of deeper leagues where you have the roster space to carry a second tight end.

Chicago Bears TE Cole Kmet ended up with a single 14-yard on one target in Week 8 against the Washington Commanders.
Huddle Up: Kmet had his worst game since Week 1, when he was also limited to a single catch. His fantasy production is at the mercy of rookie QB Caleb Williams, and when the latter struggles, so does Kmet. The Chicago pass attack looks to bounce back in Week 9 at Arizona. He should be treated as a TE2 for that matchup in most fantasy leagues.
