STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Kmet's 2025 targets (48) and yards (347) are career lows since 2020 under Johnson.

Under Ben Johnson in 2025, Cole Kmet's passing game opportunities have shrunk significantly; his 48 targets, 30 receptions, and 347 yards were his lowest totals since his rookie season (2020). Johnson's offense emphasizes run game and pass protection, reducing Kmet's receiving role despite his willingness to accept the shift in responsibilities.
