I got tight end two Coulson Lovelin going up against the Panthers... his per route efficiency pretty much better than anyone not named Bowers

Ranked as TE2 with high efficiency and volume potential

Ian Hartitz ranks Cole Kmet as the TE2 for Week 1 against the Panthers, citing his high per-route efficiency and potential for increased volume if Rome Odunze remains sidelined. Kmet recorded 48 targets over the final four games of last season. Hartitz prefers Kmet over Trey McBride due to the Bears' higher implied team total (25 points) compared to the Cardinals' lower offensive projection (18.75 points).
