Cole Kmet is coming off of one his better fantasy performances of the season. What’s in store for him against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 16.

Fantasy Football analysis: Bears TE Cole Kmet

The second-year tight end caught six of nine targets for 71 yards in Week 15. The reception and yardage totals were each Kmet’s second-best this year. Somehow, he still hasn’t scored a touchdown, but that could change this week as Seattle has allowed five scores to tight ends over their past five games. That includes an 8-88-2 line to Zach Ertz in Week 11 and a rampage from George Kittle (9-181-2) in Week 13. Kmet doesn’t have nearly that kind of upside in Chicago’s offense, but he has a pretty decent floor as he has averaged eight targets per game over the previous month.

Fantasy Start/Sit Recommendation

Kmet is a high-end TE2 for Week 16. He’s also a decent value at just $3,300 on DraftKings. Maybe this is the week he falls into the end zone?
