Cole Kmet News
Thursday, May 28, 5:49 AM
Bears tight end Cole Kmet has become the forgotten man in Chicago's uptrending offense, but he's still capable of providing usable dynasty depth, and he profiles as a rare tight end handcuff. Overshadowed in 2025 by a trio of wide receivers and rookie tight end Colston Loveland, Kmet managed two top 12 fantasy finishes, and he led the team in tight end snaps. In his first year as head coach, Ben Johnson deployed heavy personnel usage at a top 10 rate, a trend dating back to his time as offensive coordinator in Detroit, and with veteran receiver DJ Moore and his 84.8% snap share out the door, there's room for that usage to increase in 2026. Prior to the Bears spending first-round capital on Loveland in the 2025 NFL Draft, Kmet had finished as the TE22 or better in four straight seasons, including back-to-back TE7 finishes in 2022 and 2023. Should an injury ahead of him force him back into a primary role, Kmet has proven more than capable of exceeding his current ranking of RotoBaller's dynasty TE50, and he is an under-the-radar trade target tied to a high-powered offense for two more seasons before reaching free agency at the age of 29.

Colston Loveland News
Wednesday, June 10, 9:52 AM
Chicago Bears tight end Colston Loveland is considered a top-five fantasy player at his position as he heads into his sophomore season in the NFL. The former first-rounder (10th overall) out of the University of Michigan last year got off to a slow start in his rookie campaign, but he eventually became a big part of Chicago's passing attack and finished with 58 catches for 713 yards and six touchdowns during the regular season. The 6-foot-6, 241-pound 22-year-old then added eight catches for 137 yards and a two-point conversion in a playoff win over the division-rival Green Bay Packers. Loveland impressed everyone in the organization in 2025 with his talent and drive, but according to The Athletic's Dan Wiederer, Loveland believes he has a lot to improve on. "It's watching the tape and knowing, like, it was good for a rookie," Loveland said, "but it's not going to be good enough for a second-year or third-year guy." He believes he can specifically improve as a blocker in the running game. As Loveland's chemistry with QB Caleb Williams improves this offseason, he becomes a more attractive high-end TE1 target in fantasy drafts this year.
