Chicago Bears TE Cole Kmet could be cut this offseason by the team, in the opinion of NFL.com's Matt Okada.
Huddle Up: After the late-season breakout of tight end Colston Loveland, the Bears' 2025 first-round pick, Kmet's fantasy usefulness for Chicago is arguably at its lowest point since being drafted in 2020. Kmet's fantasy value in 2026 would be largely tied to his new locale, but it's very unlikely Kmet will see a career resurgence that makes him a TE1 for fantasy purposes.

Chicago Bears TE Cole Kmet caught two of his three targets for 16 yards in a 19-16 loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 18.
Huddle Up: Kmet finished with just two catches for the fifth game in a row, and he was held under 20 receiving yards for the third straight outing. With Colston Loveland coming on strong, Kmet has become a completely touchdown-dependent fantasy option.

Chicago Bears TE Cole Kmet caught two of his three targets for 16 yards in a 42-38 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 17.
Huddle Up: Kmet has caught two or fewer passes in 12 of his 15 games, including four straight, and he has yet to reach 50 receiving yards in a game this season. With Colston Loveland continuing to carve out a bigger role, Kmet isn't likely to provide much help to fantasy owners moving forward.

Chicago Bears TE Cole Kmet caught two of his three targets for 14 yards in a 22-16 win over the Green Bay Packers in Week 16.
Huddle Up: Kmet continues to be limited to just a couple of catches most weeks, and he still hasn't reached 50 receiving yards in a game. Unless he happens to find the end zone, Kmet doesn't offer much fantasy value.
