Blake Bell News
It was announced Tuesday that Kansas City Chiefs tight end Blake Bell (hip) had undergone surgery to repair a hip flexor issue, which will keep him sidelined for an extended period of time. Bell was set to serve as the complement at tight end for All-Pro Travis Kelce, but that role will likely slide to Noah Gray after a waiver claim on Kendall Blanton went for naught. Bell appeared in 16 games (five starts) last season for K.C., compiling nine catches for 87 yards and adding 10 yards on the ground. Utilized primarily for his blocking ability, the 31-year-old wasn't on any fantasy radars coming into the year. The Chiefs open the regular season on Sept. 11 against the Cardinals.
The Kansas City Chiefs re-signed tight end Blake Bell to an undisclosed deal on Thursday. Bell helped fill in for Travis Kelce late last season when he had COVID-19 and had nine receptions on 13 targets for 87 yards and no touchdowns in 16 games (five starts). The 30-year-old will continue to provide depth behind Kelce and will mostly be used as a blocker in Kansas City. In seven NFL seasons with the Chiefs, San Francisco 49ers, Minnesota Vikings, Jacksonville Jaguars and Dallas Cowboys, Bell has 58 catches for 621 yards and no touchdowns on 92 targets over 97 games (26 starts). He's well off the fantasy radar.
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Blake Bell was activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday, according to a source. It's notable with starting tight end Travis Kelce and wide receiver Tyreek Hill still both on the COVID list. If Kelce cannot clear the league's protocols before Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Bell would likely share snaps with rookie Noah Gray. Bell has seen slightly more work than the rookie this year, catching five of his nine targets for 41 yards. Gray has scored a touchdown, though, while adding four receptions for just 18 yards on seven targets. Neither Bell nor Gray would be all that attractive in fantasy, though, even in two-TE leagues, if Kelce misses Week 16.
