Cole Kmet Fantasy

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet is the most likely to receive a contract extension from the team this offseason with one year remaining on his rookie deal. "I thought he elevated his game from the film that I watched last year to what it was this year," general manager Ryan Poles said. "So that's exciting." Kmet's receptions (50) and receiving yards (544) declined in 2022, but he also went from no touchdowns in 2021 to seven this past season. He also plays an important role in Chicago's league-leading running game. The 23-year-old should only get better the more time he spends with quarterback Justin Fields, too, so Kmet's fantasy arrow is pointing up as a lower-end TE1 for the 2023 season.

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet caught four of his five targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in a 29-13 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 18. Kmet wound up catching Chicago's only passing touchdown of the afternoon on an 11-yard pass from Nathan Peterman in the third quarter. Kmet set a career-high with seven touchdowns this season while showing excellent chemistry with breakout quarterback Justin Fields along the way. Kmet wraps up his third NFL season with 50 catches for 544 yards and seven scores while playing in all 17 games. He will be on the radar as a low-end TE1 heading into 2023 drafts.

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet will look to end his season on a high note against the Vikings in Week 18. It has been an up-and-down season for Kmet but he is looking to add to his career-high six touchdowns in the final game of the season. He will be catching passes from backup Nathan Peterman, so every Bears offensive player will carry a certain volatility into this game. For the season, Kmet currently has 44 receptions for 487 yards this season and is averaging 5.5 targets a game over his last eight games. Kmet will be a fringe top-12 option at the tight end position for Week 18.
