Cole Kmet
TE - Chicago Bears
Availability
Cole Kmet caught two passes for 16 yards in Sunday's 19-16 loss to the Lions.
Fantasy Impact
Kmet has now caught at least two passes in six consecutive games but he has taken more of a secondary role with rookie Colston Loveland emerging. Kmet still has managed 30 catches for 347 yards this season.
Cole Kmet caught two of his three targets for 16 yards in the Bears' 42-38 loss to the 49ers in Week 17.
Fantasy Impact
Kmet has seen modest involvement in the Chicago offense of late, recording three or more targets in six of his last seven games. The tight end remains difficult for fantasy managers to trust due to inconsistent results when utilized in the Chicago passing attack, with a Week 18 contest against the Detroit Lions up next.
Cole Kmet caught two of his three targets for 14 yards in the Bears' 22-16 win over the Packers in Week 16.
Fantasy Impact
Kmet has seen minimal involvement in the Chicago passing attack of late, finishing with four targets or less in each of his last five games. The tight end remains a difficult pass-catching option to trust in all formats ahead of a Week 17 contest against the San Francisco 49ers.
Cole Kmet is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Packers.
Fantasy Impact
Kmet could see a bigger role in the passing game if he is cleared with Luther Burden and Rome Odunze ruled out. He'll still be on the TE2 radar.
Cole Kmet (ankle/knee) was limited at practice again on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Kmet was estimated to be a limited participant on Tuesday and was not able to log a full practice session on Wednesday either. It looks like he is trending towards playing on Saturday night, but it's possible that the team will list him with an injury designation heading into the weekend because of the pair of injuries that he's managing. Colston Loveland will see more work in the off-chance that he's ruled out.
