The Chicago Bears offense is undoubtedly a work in progress, but the Bears head into Week 10 having now scored 29 or more points in each of their last three games.
Third-year tight end Cole Kmet found the end zone twice in the team's Week 9 loss to the Miami Dolphins and has now totaled three scores since Week 8.
Is this a sign of things to come for Kmet? Should you pick him up in fantasy leagues after his Week 9 showing?

What Did Cole Kmet Do In Week 9?
Now in his third NFL season, Notre Dame product Cole Kmet has displayed 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 with second-year QB Justin Fields.
Kmet logged season highs in targets (six), receptions (five), and TDs (two) in Chicago's three-point loss to Miami in Week 9. In addition to his connection with Fields through the air, the third-year tight end was also featured on jet sweeps and direct-snap sneaks in this suddenly-explosive Bears offense.
Should I Pickup Cole Kmet Off the Waiver Wire in Fantasy Football?
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.
While he currently stands as the TE20 in PPR leagues, Kmet's production in recent weeks makes him a certain add off the waiver wire ahead of Week 10. As experienced fantasy managers know, tight-end production is extremely hard to find. Kmet's emerging role in Chicago's evolving offense makes him a desirable positional fantasy asset as managers start to look down the back half of the regular season.
