Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet hasn’t produced much for fantasy players early in his career. The third-year tight end averaged only four half-point PPR fantasy points per game over the first 40 games of his career while scoring only two touchdowns.
However, the former Notre Dame tight end has been unstoppable lately. Over the past three weeks, Kmet has averaged 16.3 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. Furthermore, he has five receiving touchdowns over the past three contests.
Unfortunately, he took a shot to his thigh last week against the Detroit Lions. While the young tight end finished the game, he missed time in practice this week.

Is Cole Kmet Healthy Or Injured?
Kmet didn’t practice on Wednesday because of the thigh injury. However, he was a limited participant on Thursday. More importantly, the young tight end came off the injury report on Friday and is ready for Sunday’s matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.
Who Can I Add Off The Waiver Wire And Start In Week 11?
The third-year tight end is available in only a third of ESPN leagues. Fantasy players should add and start Kmet this week if possible.
He is averaging 16.3 half-point PPR fantasy points per game over the past three weeks, scoring at least one touchdown in every contest. Furthermore, Kmet has scored 19.5 or more fantasy points in back-to-back games.
However, fantasy players should add Juwan Johnson if Kmet isn’t available in their league. The New Orleans Saints tight end is available in over 80% of ESPN leagues.
Johnson has been a solid streaming option lately. Over the past four weeks, the veteran tight end has averaged 3.5 receptions on 4.5 targets for 33 receiving yards and 11.1 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. Furthermore, he scored his fourth touchdown of the last year week against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Meanwhile, his matchup this week is excellent for fantasy players. The Los Angeles Rams have surrendered 4.3 receptions, 64.7 receiving yards, and 12.6 half-point PPR fantasy points per game to tight ends over their past three games. Furthermore, tight ends have two receiving touchdowns over the past three weeks against the Rams, scoring 16 or more fantasy points twice during that span.
