Cole Kmet Out-Targets Colston Loveland in Bears' Win

Cole Kmet led Chicago Bears tight ends in usage during the team's win over the Vikings, tallying a team-high 5 receptions for 45 yards on five targets, which tied for second on the team. This performance saw him out-target rookie tight end Colston Loveland by one. Loveland recorded 3 catches for 40 yards. Kmet also played more snaps and ran more pass routes than Loveland, though Loveland had led in routes the previous week. The Bears' preference for Kmet as a blocker, coupled with the team's increased focus on the run game, limits Loveland's fantasy upside despite his potential. Kmet has struggled with receiving production, topping 31 yards only once this season.
