Cole Kmet Considered Day-To-Day

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet (undisclosed) is considered day-to-day with an undisclosed injury, per head coach Matt Eberflus. The injury is not a cause for concern, however, Kmet is not expected to play in the team's preseason opener on Saturday. In his absence, Ryan Griffin and James O'Shaughnessy should get the most action at tight end, as the two will battle it out for the TE2 role in the Chicago offense. Upon Kmet's return to action, the 23-year-old is a potential breakout candidate as he will likely have a large workload in the Chicago offense that lacks receiving threats. After seeing 93 targets in his sophomore season, Kmet should be one of Justin Fields' go-to targets once again and has low-end TE1 appeal for fantasy managers.

Cole Kmet Preparing For Bigger Role

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet's first two seasons in the NFL haven't exactly gone as planned, and his chemistry with quarterback Justin Fields lagged behind that of receiver Darnell Mooney and tight end Jesse James in 2021. But Kmet is preparing for a bigger role heading into his third season with offensive coordinator Luke Getsy installing a wide-zone offense. The offensive approach helped Robert Tonyan in Green Bay and helped make George Kittle a star in San Francisco. And outside of Mooney, the Bears don't have any real proven pass-catchers, so Kmet could take advantage of more chances to make plays down field. But Kmet must show he's an adequate blocker and Fields must also deliver for him to reach his true potential in his third season.
