He's posted at least 40 yards in back-to-back games and a total of three times on the season, and he's beginning to emerge as a streaming option at tight end.

Highest yardage total of season Kmet caught four passes for 49 yards in the Bears' 24-14 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Impact Kmet surpassed 22 yards for the first time since Week 1, but he's been targeted at least four times in four different contests. If he can continue to build on his current target totals, his yardage totals should continue to climb. However, until he puts together another solid performance or two, he'll be difficult to trust in fantasy lineups.

Impact Over the last four games, Kmet has averaged just three targets and 10 yards while not finding the end zone. Unless the Bears make a commitment to expanding their passing attack, he'll be difficult to trust in fantasy lineups.

Targeted three times Kmet caught one pass for six yards in the Bears' 24-14 win over the Lions on Sunday.

Impact With Chicago leading throughout, Justin Fields threw the ball just 17 times, and Kmet was second on the team with three targets, but he didn't turn his chances into useful production. He's now caught three passes for 17 yards over his last three games, and unless his role changes, or the team's passing game improves, he won't be a recommended fantasy option.
