Should You Start or Sit Cole Kmet in Week 17?
We’ve seen flashes of promise from Caleb Williams, though his success is rarely funneled through the tight end position.
Cole Kmet’s touchdown last week was his first in the States since September, and his 23 yards this month aren’t nearly enough to offset a lack of scoring equity. It could work out that the 25-year-old Kmet is a part of the Williams era in Chicago as Keenan Allen ages out, but I’m not going to be holding my breath for this week or next season.
