Cole Kmet's Dynasty Value Fading as Offense Improves Around Him

Sunday, June 21, 5:50 AM

Despite leading the team in total snaps at the position, by the end of the 2025 season, Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet had clearly been overtaken by rookie Colston Loveland. With Chicago operating out of multi-tight end sets at one of the league's highest rates, Kmet is still expected to be a major part of the team's base offense in 2026, but from a fantasy perspective, he is now well behind Loveland and an exciting pair of young receivers in Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III. An incredibly durable player throughout his six-year career, Kmet finished as the TE7 in both 2022 and 2023 on the strength of full availability and 13 touchdown receptions over those two years, but he has not since reached 50 receptions or 500 yards. Still only 27 years old, he remains a dynasty hold for his unique insurance upside, but under contract for two more seasons, RotoBaller's TE50 will not reach free agency and a potentially beneficial change of scenery until 2028.

Should Dynasty Managers Explore Buying Low on Mason Taylor?

Thursday, June 25, 8:51 AM

A second-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor recorded 44 receptions for 369 yards and a touchdown on 65 targets across 13 games as a rookie. While Taylor's numbers may not leap off the page, he actually led the team in catches while playing with the highly underwhelming quarterback trio of Justin Fields, Tyrod Taylor, and Brady Cook. Despite Taylor's encouraging rookie year, New York used a first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft on tight end Kenyon Sadiq. However, Sadiq's high-end athleticism may allow him to play more like a slot receiver than a traditional in-line tight end, which could allow him and Taylor to share the field consistently. Taylor's dynasty outlook has definitely taken a hit since the Jets drafted Sadiq, but this may be an opportunity for dynasty managers to buy super low on a talented player who is still just 22 years old.
