Robert Tonyan News
Chicago Bears tight end Robert Tonyan was pretty involved with the first-team offense during offseason practices, setting up an expectation for more 12 personnel in 2023 with two tight ends on the field -- Tonyan and Cole Kmet. There hasn't been much of a learning curve for Tonyan this spring either, thanks to his familiarity with offensive coordinator Luke Getsy. The two were together in Green Bay from 2019-21. The 29-year-old had a career-high 586 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2020 with the Packers, but he's never come that close to replicating that season, and Kmet will still likely remain the favored pass-catching tight end in Chicago in 2023. Tonyan will only be worth a waiver-wire pickup if Kmet misses time due to injury.
Free-agent tight end Robert Tonyan agreed to a one-year deal with the Bears. The 28-year-old totaled two touchdowns in his first two seasons. However, after finding the end zone 11 times during the 2020 season, he tore his left ACL the following year, limiting him to just eight games. With the Bears acquiring D.J. Moore, Chicago has a few capable options on the receiving end, so Tonyan could get lost in the crowd. At the same time, the former Packer will also be battling Cole Kmet for targets from Justin Fields in 2023-24, lowering his fantasy expectations even more.

Chicago Bears tight end Robert Tonyan Jr. showed flashes of upside over his last three seasons with the Green Bay Packers, totaling 123 receptions for 1,260 yards and 15 touchdowns in 14 games. He led all tight ends in touchdown grabs in 2020, reaching the end zone 11 times. The further away that 2020 season gets -- the more apparent it is that his stats were likely just a product of Aaron Rodgers' greatness. He now finds himself as Cole Kmet's backup in one of the worst and most low-volume...
