Kmet's involvement as a pass-catching option remains relevant, offering a safety valve in third-down situations as Chicago tests a diversified backfield. His role can help balance the offense when the ground game is pivotal to clock control and scoring opportunities.

Kmet fined $17,389 for unnecessary roughness (leg whip) on a D’Andre Swift rush; notable Week 1 penalty.

Kmet anchors Chicago’s TE usage in Week 2 with Loveland in two-TE sets; Kmet’s Week 1 workload sets the baseline for red-zone and seam targets in a TE-heavy attack against Detroit’s coverage schemes.

Kmet drew attention for critical misses in pivotal moments, impacting Williams’ rhythm. As a top Bears tight end, his involvement is central to Chicago’s passing game if timing and play design improve, potentially boosting his fantasy stock.

Kmet delivered a 31-yard catch, underscoring his role as a reliable target in Chicago’s TE room, even as Loveland’s debut was modest. Kmet remains the primary TE target, with Loveland offering a potential complementary path as the season unfolds.
