Cole KT had four good games but he sucked ass the rest of the time...He was basically the tight end 30 by fantasy points per game...Lovelin hit a 60% route share only four times in the 15 games that Cole KT was fully healthy...only having two targets and no touchdowns on 28 red zone routes in those two playoff games, producing six catches for 66 yards and no touchdowns.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

TE30 overall; four-game playoff spike unsustainable; insufficient route share.

Kmet had four good games but was ineffective the rest of the season, finishing as tight end 30 by fantasy points per game (excluding the Bengals game he missed). Despite four strong games in weeks 16–wild card (when Bears trailed 81% of plays), he achieved 60% route share only four times in 15 healthy games, a threshold insufficient for consistent tight end production. The four-game sample was driven by extreme negative game script (81% trailing in all games), not sustainable role expansion. Fantasy Points projects him for 4.6 touchdowns (up from 2 in 2025), but regression from his playoff performance is expected as game scripts normalize.
