Kmet's uptick in targets from his rookie season (46) to his sophomore campaign (89) was significant. He took on an elevated role in last year's passing game, setting the stage for a 60-reception season and career-high 63.4 receiving and offensive grades. Now in Year 3, he has a chance to be a breakout star thanks in large part to questions at Chicago's offensive skill positions.
While second-year quarterback Justin Fields has the continued emergence of draft gem Darnell Mooney (74.7 grade in 2021) to look forward to, the Bears' offense is otherwise barren of proven weapons. However, Kmet's 94.8 receiving grade on medium depth targets (10-19 yards downfield) perfectly plays to one of Field's passing strengths (78.1 medium passing depth grade) and could be the basis for a breakout in 2022.
