BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 23% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: After a sluggish start to the season, this Chicago Bears offense is beginning to find a nice groove. The Bears have now scored 29 or more points in each of their last three. This surge can largely be attributed to the continued overall growth of Justin Fields, who has connected on over 60% of his pass attempts since Week 6.
Bears TE Cole Kmet was a notable beneficiary of Chicago's new and improved offensive attack against the Miami Dolphins in Week 9.
Kmet logged season highs in targets (6), receptions (5), and TDs (2) in Chicago's three-point loss to Miami. In addition to his action through the air, the third-year tight end was also featured on jet sweeps and direct-snap sneaks in this suddenly-explosive Bears offense.
Now in his third NFL season, the 6'6", 260lb Notre Dame product has undeniable physical tools and a pro-ready skill set. Unfortunately, Chicago's offense hasn't been the best environment to showcase his talents to this point. However, that appears to be changing, as the Bears' new coaching staff continues to sharpen this attack.
While Kmet likely won't be putting up Travis Kelce-like numbers anytime soon, his Week 9 performance could be the start of something. As he continues to develop chemistry with the quickly improving Fields, Kmet is worthy of a long look in 12+ team fantasy leagues at a position that is a constant headache for many fantasy GMs.
