2022 Fantasy Outlook
Kmet saw plenty of volume last season, but the sophomore tight end was often not on the same
page with rookie quarterback Justin Fields. While Kmet’s 93 targets tied for eighth at the
position, he finished outside the top 10 in catches (60) and yards (612), averaging a paltry 6.6
yards per target. Most damningly, the 6-6 tight end did not score despite being targeted 14 times
in the red zone. Kmet is due for positive regression near the goal line, and Fields is certainly
more likely to improve than regress as a passer in his second season, so there is reason for
limited optimism. Kmet also has a clear path to targets, as the Bears do not have much besides
wide receiver Darnell Mooney, after settling for Byron Pringle and third-round pick Velus Jones
as potential replacements for wideout Allen Robinson, who signed with the Rams this offseason.
Plus, Kmet is not likely to be challenged by any of the tight ends on the depth chart. If nothing
else, he has a chance to be one of the most frequently targeted tight ends in the league. Read Past Outlooks

Gets new backup
Kmet could lose some snaps after the Bears added Robert Tonyan in free agency Thursday, Adam Jahns of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Kmet played at least 91 percent of the snaps in 14 games last year. Although that percentage may not dip much, Tonyan is familiar with the Bears offense from his days in Green Bay, when Chicago's offensive coordinator Luke Getsy was his coach. Kmet should retain close to a full snap share, but with Tonyan having caught at least 52 passes in two of the last three seasons, Kmet could lose occasional targets. However, this move should not have much impact on Kmet's fantasy value.

Rashee Rice isn't the only Chiefs wide receiver moving up draft boards this May. Meanwhile, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce are slipping with WRs becoming more popular in the early rounds.

Jerry Donabedian compares May ADP results from four different best ball sites and finds that young WRs tend to be cheapest on DraftKings.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
Kmet didn't score his first TD at Notre Dame until his junior year, but he finished the 2019 season with 515 yards and six scores, setting up an early declare. His stock rose further after the 2020 Scouting Combine, where Kmet put up a 4.70 40 and 37.5-inch vertical at 6-6, 262, later going 43rd overall to a team that had signed Jimmy Graham a month earlier. The rookie played 70-plus percent of snaps in seven consecutive games to close out last season, but it never led to meaningful receiving output, even when he averaged 6.0 targets Weeks 13-17. Despite the lack of production, it was a respectable showing for a 21-year-old rookie at a position with a steep learning curve. Kmet isn't the most polished receiver, nor the most agile, but he's big and fast, and might be the youngest starting TE in the league. Unfortunately, Kmet's breakout appeal for 2021 takes a big hit if Graham remains on the roster, as the 34-year-old likely would poach some high-value snaps on third downs and in the red zone.
