When it comes to Cole Kmet, the Chicago Bears’ tight end, the best strategy is to hold onto him if you already have him in your roster. If you do have him, there’s enough reason to think selling him now may end up being the wrong move. Further, if you do not have him, actively pursuing him has too many red flags. This article dives into reasons supporting our hold label on Kmet. Also we look at alternative arguments to that label which still should not be enough to make anyone consider him an outright sell or buy.

Kmet’s Past Production vs. Potential

One of the key reasons to consider holding onto Cole Kmet is his past production. While Kmet has shown flashes of potential, his average production in the past raises questions. Despite ample opportunities to shine in previous seasons, Kmet has not fully capitalized on his potential and situation.

The Added Competition

The Bears have made significant additions to their offense this offseason, bringing in Keenan Allen, Deandre Swift, and Rome Odunze. The arrival of quarterback Caleb Williams could potentially lead to increased production opportunities for Kmet. However, the added competition could also impact his performance. If Williams is the future of Chicago, the added competition could all but erase this as a positive turn of events for Kmet.

A Promising Prospect: Cole Kmet

Selected as the 43rd overall pick in the 2nd round of the 2020 NFL Draft out of Notre Dame, Cole Kmet is undoubtedly a talented prospect. His Relative Athletic Score (RAS) of 8.92 showcases his exceptional physical abilities. In the previous seasons, Kmet has displayed solid numbers with 719 yards and 6 touchdowns last year, and over 600 yards and 6 touchdowns the year before. He has finished top 10 in fantasy leaderboards in each of the last two seasons. Although the concern is whether this is his peak in Chicago and therefore people should consider selling now.

Conclusion

While Cole Kmet’s potential is undeniable, the increased competition in Chicago raises concerns about his future performance. It is essential to consider both his past production and the current roster dynamics when evaluating his fantasy football value. Holding onto Kmet is the correct decision here, as you still would give him the potential to break out while on your roster. Although, if a decrease in production is seen a quarter of the way through the 2024 NFL season, it may be time to sell.
