Cole Kmet Fantasy

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet caught two passes for 20 yards in the Bears win over the Panthers 23-16 in Week 6. His first catch of the game was a special one, snagging a nine-yard pass from quarterback Nick Foles in traffic for his first NFL touchdown. The second-round pick has not been apart of the Bears offense to this point but saw consistent snaps in the first half. The expectations are high for Kmet but it will take some time before he makes a consistent impact. The rookie's fantasy value is reserved for dynasty leagues only for the time being.

Chicago Bears tight end Jimmy Graham and rookie Cole Kmet should be on the field together at times in 2020 because of Kmet's versatility. However, head coach Matt Nagy hasn't used a lot of two-tight ends sets in his time in Chicago, so it remains to be seen how much Graham and Kmet will be on the field at the same time. The Bears also have Adam Shaheen and Demetrius Harris at the position, so they're good on tight end depth. Graham looked like a shell of his former All-Pro self the last two years with the Packers and will strictly be a touchdown-dependent, red-zone weapon for the Bears and fantasy owners. Unless Graham is hurt, Kmet is unlikely to have a big enough role to excite fantasy owners.

The Chicago Bears used the 43rd pick in the 2020 NFL Draft on tight end Cole Kmet out of Notre Dame. Kmet adds to a crowded tight end room in Chicago which includes the newly signed Jimmy Graham. Standing at 6-foot-6, Kmet will be a huge target for Mitchell Trubisky, but may find it hard to get on the field consistently early in his career. His size will make him an attractive red zone target so he could work his way into the streaming conversation in fantasy if he can get on the field consistently.
