Should You Start or Sit Cole Kmet in Week 15?
Risk is a funny thing. It’s kind of like dessert. If the upside is good enough, I’m willing to overlook the high-calorie count or potential health ramifications.
But why take that on if the best case isn’t enough to put a smile on my face? Kmet is a player who needs a touchdown to pay off. That’s a tough sell when you consider that he doesn’t have a single end-zone look during Chicago’s seven-game skid. He’s an Oreo Sundae without ice cream … What’s the point?
He has just three catches for 26 yards to show for his 67 routes run over the past two games. With the receivers taking turns flashing, there’s not nearly enough target upside to even consider Kmet as a realistic option in most situations.
