Fantasy
A mini breakout for Kmet on Sunday as he logged a season-high 49 yards on four targets. The young TE has struggled to find his footing so far this season but looks to be hitting his stride recently. For now, he remains as just a player to watch, but if the breakout continues he’s worth an add in a bad TE landscape.
Fantasy outlook
If you have played fantasy football for any period of time, you know how barren the tight end landscape can be, especially in the mid-to-late rounds of the draft. Those looking to find a potential sleeper or breakout candidate at the position might want to consider Kmet.
As a rookie, Kmet was not a full-time player for the majority of the 2020 season. In the team’s first nine games, Kmet played second fiddle to veteran Jimmy Graham and saw only 35% of the offensive snaps. During those nine contests, Kmet recorded 6 receptions on 8 targets for 79 yards and 1 touchdown. His 1.9 fantasy points were nothing to write home about, but things quickly changed.
Family
Bears top draft pick Cole Kmet—a tight end from Notre Dame—isn’t the first member of his immediate family to experience the exhilaration of joining the NFL team he grew up rooting for.
Although a serious leg injury he never fully recovered from kept Frank Kmet from ever appearing in a regular-season game, Cole’s dad also fulfilled a lifelong dream when he signed with the Bears in 1993.
After playing on an Illinois state championship team at Hersey High School in Arlington Heights, Frank was a star defensive lineman at Purdue who was being projected as a first- or second-round pick in the 1992 NFL Draft.
Contract
Cole Kmet signed a 4 year, $7,577,778 contract with the Chicago Bears, including a $3,071,112 signing bonus, $4,025,556 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $1,894,445. In 2021, Kmet will earn a base salary of $954,444, while carrying a cap hit of $1,722,222 and a dead cap value of $3,257,778.
