Cole Kmet is a 2022 fantasy football draft sleeper at tight end and an ADP draft value. Target Kmet as an undervalued TE in fantasy football drafts.
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~105 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~115
ANALYSIS: Chicago’s top tight end finally broke out of Jimmy Graham’s shadow and more than doubled his reception, receiving yards, and target totals in his sophomore season. That was a mini breakout of sorts since Kmet was far from a fantasy force during his rookie campaign.
His only problem was Chicago should have gifted him a compass or GPS when he signed his rookie contract because he could not find the end zone to save his life. 93 targets, 60 receptions, and zero touchdowns. No tight end caught anywhere near as many passes without scoring in 2021. The next closest was Jacksonville plodder Dan Arnold, who went scoreless on just 35 catches.
The Bears brought in two veteran tight ends, Ryan Griffin and James O’Shaughnessy, during the offseason to add depth, not to take targets away from Kmet. The up-and-coming Kmet has nothing to worry about when it comes to the 1,000 retreads Chicago signed at wide receiver, either.
He will be the second option in the Bears' passing attack behind top target Darnell Mooney and showed good chemistry with Fields during the second half of the 2021 season. I predict Kmet will have no trouble finding the end zone on his way to a 75-850-6 line that makes his fantasy managers happier than a foodie who eats a Chicago deep-dish pizza.
