Kmet caught two of three targets for 16 yards in the Bears' 19-16 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Kmet finished the regular season with 30 receptions (on 48 targets) for 347 yards and two touchdowns while catching two or fewer passes in all but three games. He was held under 20 receiving yards nine times and frequently operated as a blocker in two-tight-end sets alongside rookie first-round pick Colston Loveland. Kmet is signed with Chicago through 2027 but projects as a low-ceiling fantasy option if his usage remains unchanged.

Kmet caught both targets for 16 yards in the Bears' 42-38 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Kmet has caught two or three passes in five straight contests, including two targets in this game while operating behind Colston Loveland. After posting between 28 and 45 receiving yards in four of those games, he has been held to 16 yards or fewer in his last two. The limited target volume keeps him confined to deep-league tight end consideration.

Kmet caught two passes for 14 yards on three targets in the Bears' 22-16 overtime win over the Packers on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Kmet has caught exactly two passes in four straight contests, continuing to operate as the secondary tight end behind Colston Loveland. This marked his first game under 28 receiving yards during that stretch, but the low number of receptions limits his fantasy upside, keeping him confined to deep-league fantasy consideration.

Kmet (ankle/knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Packers.
EDGE Analysis
Kmet opened Week 16 prep with a limited walkthrough Tuesday and limited practice Wednesday due to ankle and knee injuries before progressing to all activity Thursday. He told Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network after the latter session that he intended to play Saturday, which now will come to pass. Despite handling between 63 and 79 percent of the offensive snaps in each of the last six contests, Kmet has put together just a 14-159-1 line on 18 targets, while rookie TE Colston Loveland has earned similar snap shares but compiled a 22-264-2 line on 29 targets during that stretch.

Kmet (ankle/knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice and is officially listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Packers.
EDGE Analysis
Kmet was limited during Tuesday's walk-through practice and during Wednesday's session, but after logging a full practice Thursday, he said afterward that he plans to play Saturday, per Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network. That said, official word on Kmet's status may not arrive until the Bears release their inactive list roughly 90 minutes before Saturday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. If he suits up against Green Bay, Kmet will contribute at tight end alongside rookie Colston Loveland.

Kmet (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The Bears also listed Kmet as limited after Tuesday's walk-through. He handled his normal role during Sunday's blowout win over Cleveland, playing 72 percent of snaps on offense while catching two of four targets for 28 yards.

Kmet was listed as a limited participant for Tuesday's walk-through practice due to ankle and knee injuries.
EDGE Analysis
Kmet is tending to a pair of injuries after he played 48 of 66 offensive snaps and finished with two catches for 28 yards on four targets in Sunday's 31-3 win over the Browns. He'll have two more practices to prove his health in advance of this Saturday's game against the Packers, but the fact that he's being listed as limited rather than a non-participant on the Bears' initial Week 16 report suggests he's on track to play.

Kmet recorded two receptions on four targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 31-3 win over the Browns.
EDGE Analysis
Kmet finished fourth on the team in targets, notably one behind Colston Loveland. Kmet did manage a long reception of 17 yards, and both of his targets came deep in Cleveland territory. While there are some positives to take away from Kmet's performance, he remains a peripheral part of Chicago's offense.

Kmet caught two of three targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 28-21 loss to the Packers.
EDGE Analysis
Kmet was able to reel in multiple passes for the second straight game and third time in the last four contests overall. His 42 receiving yards were second on the team behind Luther Burden (67), while fellow tight end Colston Loveland posted a 4-29-1 line. Kmet will look to build off of his recent momentum when the Bears host the Browns in Week 15.

Kmet brought in all three targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 24-15 win over the Eagles on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Kmet led the Bears in receiving yards on a day when Caleb Williams completed under 50.0 percent of his passes and threw for only 154 yards. The veteran tight end also was on the receiving end of Williams' only scoring toss, recording a 28-yard TD with just over six minutes remaining to extend a 17-9 lead. However, Friday marked just the second multi-reception tally over the last seven games for Kmet, so he remains difficult to trust in a Week 14 road matchup against the Packers on Sunday, Dec. 7.
