Cole Kmet Breaks out in Week 3

Published: 2024-09-22 14:42:44

Kmet caught 10 of 11 targets for 97 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-16 loss to the Colts.

After two quiet games to begin the season, Kmet started to click with rookie quarterback Caleb Williams in this one, capping his huge day with a six-yard score late in the fourth quarter as the Bears tried to mount a comeback. The tight end may have benefitted from the absence of Keenan Allen (heel) to monopolize intermediate routes, but if Williams is going to attempt 50-plus passes a game -- he went 33-for-52 for 363 yards Sunday -- there should be plenty of volume to go around even when all of Chicago's top targets are healthy. Kmet will look to keep rolling in Week 4 against the Rams.
