NegativeInjuryOct 30, 2026
Out for the rest of the season with a knee injury, forcing the Bears to adjust their offensive personnel and potentially shift to more base 11 personnel and pass-heavy looks.NegativeUsageOct 15, 2026
Continues to draw targets despite Bears offensive chaos across five games with QB changes: Caleb Williams starting Week 1 with record rushing yards/TDs, Week 2 rainy game vs. Vikings, Weeks 3-5 featuring Kingsbury, Bagent, and Bagent-to-Kingsbury rotation. One of Luther Burden, Khalil Rome, or Colston Loveland led target share in each of the last three weeks; Kmet's target draw remains a factor limiting other receivers' volume.PositiveProjectionOct 9, 2026
Mattek ranks Cole Kmet at TE11, noting his recent 29% target share and 9 targets. The Bears are expected to lean more pass-heavy with Kyle Long out, and Mattek remains high on Kmet's potential despite his 70% route rate being lower than elite peers like Trey McBride and Brock Bowers (who maintain 85-95% route shares).NegativeRoleSep 7, 2026
Cole Kmet's snap share in the Bears offense is a key variable; if he plays 72% of snaps in 12 personnel, it affects the target distribution for other receivers like Luther Burden and Roma Dunay.NegativeValueAug 11, 2026
Cole Kmet is identified as a viable tight end option for managers who miss out on top-tier targets like Brock Bowers or Trey McBride.PositiveBustJun 30, 2026
Cole Kmet was a historical bust example who played a ton of snaps but didn't generate targets relative to his route share, with busts averaging 11.5% target share versus 17.9% for successful tight ends.PositiveProjectionMay 27, 2026
Drafted in round 2 in tight end premium league (1.5 PPR scoring); the source projects 13–14 PPG and believes Kmet could lead the Chicago Bears in targets with potential for 100 catches. Benefits from tight end premium scoring format.PositiveRoleNo date
Kmet is a core part of the Bears' base 11 personnel (Burden, Equanimeous St. Brown, Kmet) and will benefit from increased playing time alongside Sam LaPorta in 12-personnel packages. The source projects 916 aggregated yards across Fantasy Pros, Rotowire, and Mike Clay. If the Bears reach 600 dropbacks, Kmet could be a smash pick alongside Burden, with significant target upside from vacated targets (DJ Moore and Olamide Zaccheaus departed).
