Cole Kmet Returns in Time for Very Favorable Matchup

Saturday, November 1, 10:18 AM

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet will return from a one-game absence in Week 9 against the Cincinnati Bengals. His return will likely lead to a general reduction in volume for Colston Loveland over time, but perhaps not this week, given that the Bears' tight ends have a terrific matchup. Cincinnati has allowed the most fantasy points to tight ends in 2025, as well as 10 touchdowns, and the gap between the Bengals and the No. 2 team is not particularly close. Kmet and Loveland can both carve out sizable roles against the Bengals, as we've seen from other teams this season. Just two weeks ago, Pittsburgh had three different tight ends score a touchdown against Cincinnati. Both Kmet and Loveland are mid-range TE2 options with TE1 upside.
