Drop, ejection and penalties sink Bears in playoff loss

A drop in the end zone by Chicago receiver Javon Wims was just one of many mistakes that cost the Bears a chance to stay with New Orleans in a playoff opening loss

JANUARY 11, 2021 • Associated Press

Quiet in playoff debut Kmet caught three passes for 16 yards in Chicago's 21-9 loss to the Saints in the wild-card round.

Impact Kmet had all three of his receptions in the first half and wasn't heard from afterwards in a game the Bears were dominated in time of possession, resulting in limited opportunities. After being an afterthought in the offense through the first 12 games of the season, he was targeted at least six times in four of the last five regular-season games, ending the season with 29 receptions for 243 yards and two touchdowns. He'll enter 2021 in the second year of a four-year contract, and he'll likely be an emerging fantasy force as the team's lead tight end who's expected to play a three-down role.

Targeted eight times in defeat Kmet caught seven passes for 41 yards in the Bears' 35-16 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Impact Kmet was third on the team with eight targets, and he was an important part of a ball-control attack designed to keep the Packers offense off the field. After being an afterthought in the offense through the first 12 games of the season, he was targeted at least six times in four of the last five games, ending the season with 29 receptions for 243 yards and two touchdowns. After the Bears complete their playoff run, he'll enter the second of a four-year contract, and he'll likely be an emerging fantasy force as the team's lead tight end.

Ready for regular-season finale Kmet (shoulder) is active for Sunday's matchup against Green Bay.

Impact The rookie tight end gets the green light for Chicago's Week 17 matchup, as the Bears aim to clinch a second playoff trip in three years with a win over their division rivals. Kmet didn't have any reported issues coming out of last Sunday's win over the Jaguars, but he was labeled questionable for the regular-season finale after submitting limited practices Thursday and Friday. Officially active for his 16th appearance of the year, Kmet enters the regular-season finale with a stat line of 21 receptions, 202 yards and two TDs.

JANUARY 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 17 Kmet (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers.

Impact Kmet was a full practice participant Wednesday before logging limited sessions Thursday and Friday. He's played at least 78 percent of offensive snaps in five straight games, and there hasn't been any suggestion he's in serious danger of missing Sunday's all-important contest. The increased playing time hasn't resulted in much production, with Kmet averaging 2.8 catches for 23.2 yards and 0.2 TDs on 5.0 targets the past five weeks.

JANUARY 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Downgraded to limited Kmet (shoulder) was held to limited participation during Thursday's practice session.

Impact The second-round rookie hasn't missed a game all season, and his Thursday appearance on the injury report was notable given that he submitted a full session the day prior. There have been no reported shoulder issues to this point in the season for Kmet, though he did deal with back and groin injuries that curtailed his practice involvement in October and November. Kmet's Friday status may go a long way toward clarifying the tight end's availability for a crucial Sunday afternoon home game against Green Bay.

Bears eye playoffs heading into finale with Rodgers, Packers

The Chicago Bears have their sights on the playoffs heading into the finale against Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers

DECEMBER 28, 2020 • Associated Press

Fails to capitalize on targets Kmet caught two passes for 16 yards in the Bears' 41-17 victory over the Jaguars on Sunday.

Impact Kmet was targeted six times, but Jimmy Graham was the tight end who was on the receiving end of both of Mitch Tubisky's touchdown passes. In addition, Kmet was given a rushing attempt near the goal line, but he was tackled for a three-yard loss. Despite seeing increased target volume over the last four weeks, he's averaging 27 yards with one score during that span, making him a touchdown-dependent fantasy option in Week 17 against the Packers.

DECEMBER 27, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet in win Kmet caught two passes for 12 yards in the Bears' 33-27 victory over the Vikings on Sunday.

Impact Kmet was targeted just twice, though with the Bears playing with a lead for the majority of this contest, they attempted just 21 passes, and the tight end failed to reach seven targets for the first time in three games. Although he's performed well lately, he's yet to surpass 45 yards in a game, making him a risky fantasy option in Week 16 against a weak Jacksonville defense.

Targeted seven times Kmet caught four passes for 41 yards in the Bears' 36-7 win over the Texans on Sunday.

Impact Kmet cemented his role as Chicago's lead tight end with his second straight seven-target performance, although it was Jimmy Graham who scored the only tight-end touchdown for the team. Despite his increased volume since Week 10, Kmet has yet to surpass 45 yards in a game this season, making him a floor play during the fantasy playoffs.
