Blake Bell Fantasy Stats

Kansas City Chiefs tight ends Blake Bell and Jody Fortson are both listed as early fallers for The Athletic's Nate Taylor. Bell is 31 and appears to have lost a step in speed, especially compared with Travis Kelce, Matt Bushman and Noah Gray. He's still capable of being a quality pass-catcher in the flat and middle of the field, but if Bushman continues to look good, Bell could be in danger of losing his roster spot. Fortson, meanwhile, continues to have inconsistent practices. He struggled in 7-on-7 repetitions on Wednesday while dropping a few passes from quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Both Bell and Fortson could be in danger of being cut this summer unless they turn things around.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Blake Bell has re-signed with the organization. The veteran tight end will enter his fourth season with the team. Bell has been mainly a backup throughout his career, which is what he'll remain in Kansas City. The 31-year-old has 60 receptions, 641 yards, and one touchdown through eight seasons in the league. He'll be battling for a backup role alongside Jody Fortson and Noah Gray. There is no reason to believe Bell will have fantasy value next season.

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.

The Kansas City Chiefs signed free-agent tight end Blake Bell to an undisclosed one-year deal. Bell won the Super Bowl with the Chiefs two seasons ago and will return to the club after one year with the Dallas Cowboys. He played 397 offensive snaps (37.8 percent) in the regular season with the Chiefs in 2019 and also added 209 special teams snaps (50 percent). His offensive output was limited, as he mostly served as a blocker. Bell had just eight catches for 67 yards in 2019 in Kansas City with one touchdown in the playoffs. He had 11 receptions for 110 yards with Dallas last season. Bell should be the favorite for backup duties behind Travis Kelce, but he won't have any fantasy appeal unless Kelce misses time with injury.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Bell caught his only target in a Week 5 win, gaining 13 yards. Bell has been playing in about a third of the team's offensive snaps, well behind starter Dalton Schultz. With plenty of options in the passing game and an overall offensive downgrade incoming with the move from Dak Prescott (ankle) to Andy Dalton, Bell won't be much of an option even in two-tight end leagues.

The Dallas Cowboys reached an undisclosed agreement with tight end Blake Bell on Wednesday, according to a source. Bell had eight catches for 67 yards with the Chiefs last year. He's more of a blocking tight end despite catching a touchdown pass in the Super Bowl, as he has just 38 receptions for 424 yards in his career. He'll join a tight end group in Dallas that includes Blake Jarwin, Dalton Schultz and Cole Hikutini. Bell will be used mostly as a blocker with Jason Witten gone, and he won't have any fantasy appeal.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Blake Bell was able to find the end zone during Sunday's Divisional Round victory over the Houston Texans. He's normally not targeted too often with Travis Kelce ahead of him on the depth chart. Bell caught two passes for 15 yards and a touchdown on Sunday. He only saw 15 total targets during the regular season, so he's not a reliable fantasy option going forward. Bell won't have much value against the Tennessee Titans next week.

The Kansas City Chiefs signed free-agent tight end Blake Bell to an undisclosed deal on Tuesday. The former fourth-round pick in 2015 had eight receptions for 67 yards and no scores in 10 games with the Jaguars in 2018. He has all of 30 catches for 357 yards and no touchdowns in his four years in the NFL. Bell will compete for No. 2 duties behind Travis Kelce in his new home.
