Bears TE Cole Kmet caught one of two targets from QB Caleb Williams for 26 yards in Saturday's preseason game vs. the Bills. But the big story was Kmet's usage. He and TE Gerald Everett split time, with both running a route on five of Williams' eight dropbacks (62.5%). Everett actually out-snapped Kmet 14 to 11.
It's a small sample in one preseason game, but this is a worrisome start for Kmet.
Remember that the Bears are operating a new offense this year under OC Shane Waldron, who spent the last three seasons in Seattle. The Seahawks deployed TE committees under Waldron, with no TE finishing higher than 17th in PPR points in any of those seasons.
It's also worth noting that Everett spent his first five NFL seasons with Waldron -- four with the Rams and the last in Seattle. He inked a two-year, $12 million deal with Chicago this offseason, after Waldron was hired.
We'll be keeping a close eye on this situation in Chicago's final two preseason games. But we've already moved Kmet down the TE rankings and Everett up. Everett is still only draftable as a TE3 in best-ball or TE-premium leagues, but Kmet is an easy fade at his current TE16 ADP.
