Invisible in victory Kmet caught his only target for no gain in the Bears' 20-17 win over the Bengals on Sunday.
Impact With the Bears leading for most of the game, they threw the ball just 24 times, and Kmet was the only Bears tight end to see a pass come his way. After being targeted seven times in Week 1, fantasy managers can likely expect him to be more active in future weeks, but he's yet to show signs of being a reliable weekly fantasy option.

Starts, finishes with five catches Kmet had five receptions (seven targets) for 42 yards in Sunday's 34-14 loss to the Rams.
Impact Kmet took over as the starting job in Chicago this season, and he responded with a solid performance, finishing second on the team in targets. Veteran tight end Jimmy Graham saw only two targets, so it appears the timeshare will favor the younger tight end heavily. No player finished with more than 45 receiving yards against the Rams' tough defense, so those hoping for a breakout performance from the 2020 second-round pick will have to wait another week. Kmet and the Bears will have a softer matchup against the Bengals in Week 2.

Returns to practice Kmet (hamstring) returned to practice Wednesday, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.
Impact It's a sign of progress, though the Bears are holding a light practice with no pads Wednesday, per Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune. Kmet has been dealing with the hamstring injury since last week, missing Chicago's second preseason game after he caught one pass for three yards in the first. He should lead the team's tight ends in snaps this year, but splitting targets with Jimmy Graham probably won't work out great for either player from a fantasy standpoint.

Dealing with hamstring issue Kmet missed Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring injury, Adam Hoge of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Impact Kmet scattered nine starts about a 16-game rookie campaign in which he turned it on down the stretch, compiling most of his 28-243-2 line on 44 targets across his last six appearances. The Bears opened the preseason slate Saturday against the Dolphins in 12 personnel with Kmet and veteran Jimmy Graham at tight end and David Montgomery in the backfield, forecasting his expected role for the upcoming campaign. Now with an injury in tow, though, Kmet may not see game action again until Week 1 with his health in mind.
