More on Kmet and the TE board
He's a depth option, not a priority pick: #281 overall, #48 at his position. Draft late or stream based on matchups.
His current ADP in ESPN drafts is 169.5 (roughly round 15 in a 12-team league). We rank him #202 in 1QB Full-PPR drafts, so he is a value at that price.
We project 3.5 PPR points per game across an expected 10 games — approximately 35 points for the season. His typical game last season landed between 0 and 5.8 (middle 50% of results), and that puts him #215 in projected scoring (#202 on the 1QB draft board once positional value is applied).
He delivered at least 75% of his average in 43% of games, with a floor of 0 and a ceiling of 11.5 fantasy points. He boomed (125%+ of average) in 29% of games and busted (under half his average) in 29%.
