From the article

Cole Kmet. He wasn't just sneaking out into the flat in 2025, because his aDOT was 8.8. He may never approach the career highs of 73 receptions and 719 yards he had in 2023, but he's still a top 32 player at the position.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Top-32 TE with 8.8 aDOT; unlikely to repeat 2023 peak but still productive.

aDOT of 8.8 in 2025 (only two tight ends behind Loveland's 9.0 in that category); while unlikely to approach 2023 career highs of 73 receptions and 719 yards, remains a top 32 player at the position; deployed in 13 personnel alongside Loveland and Sam Roush.
