Cole Kmet's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet once again was an afterthought in the team's lackluster offense in the Monday night loss to the division-rival Minnesota Vikings, catching his only target for a pickup of 14 yards. Kmet was on the field plenty -- he played 93 percent of the offensive snaps on the evening -- but rookie quarterback Caleb Williams continued to rely mostly on his three receivers in Keenan Allen, DJ Moore and rookie Rome Odunze. In the last three games, Kmet has just four receptions on four targets (he didn't have a target in Week 14 against the San Francisco 49ers) for 40 yards and no touchdowns. He hasn't scored a touchdown since a two-TD performance in Week 6 and has 16 receptions for 159 yards and no TDs in six games since the team's bye. Fantasy managers still alive in the playoffs should look for a better TE option in Week 16 when Chicago faces the division-rival Detroit Lions.

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet has been a disappointment to fantasy managers outside of a few big performances. Last week, Kmet wasn't targeted at all during the loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Somehow, Kmet wasn't targeted during this game despite being on the field for over 90 percent on the snaps. It's tough for fantasy managers to insert Kmet into their lineups after that one. It's worth noting that Kmet finished with seven receptions on 10 targets for 64 yards during the Week 12 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Kmet will get a rematch with the Vikings this week, but remains on the TE2 radar.

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet had a disappointing performance in the team's tough 38-13 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 14. Kmet was shut out, finishing with zero receptionsa significant step back from his recent solid performances. He was targeted on the Bears' two-point conversion attempt, but unfortunately, he dropped what was a very catchable ball, further adding to his frustration. As was the case with most of the Bears' pass catchers, Kmet's fantasy production suffered due to the team's inability to move the ball through the air, with just 134 passing yards total. It was a challenging day for the offense, and Kmet couldn't find his rhythm. The Bears will look to get back on track next Monday night when they face the Minnesota Vikings in a crucial rematch.
