Josh Bellamy Fantasy

The New York Jets have agreed to terms with free-agent wide receiver Josh Bellamy (Bears) on Monday. The deal is expected to be for two years at $7 million max, with $2.75 million fully guaranteed at signing. The deal comes on the heels of a large add, when they agreed to terms with free-agent WR Jamison Crowder (Redskins) on a three-year, $28.5 million deal with $17 million in fully guaranteed salary. Crowder is a tremendous slot asset, and he can be a great help to fantasy owners in PPR formats when he is healthy. The former Duke standout averaged 64 grabs and 746.7 yards over his first three seasons in D.C. before being limited to just seven games in 2018 due to an ankle injury. Assuming he is healthy, he is a great get for the Jets and QB Sam Darnold.

Chicago Bears restricted free-agent wide receiver Josh Bellamy signed his tender on Wednesday to remain with the team. He'll make $1.097 million in 2018. He had a career-high 376 receiving yards on 24 catches in 2017, but he'll be unlikely to match those numbers after the Bears added wideouts Allen Robinson and Taylor Gabriel in the offseason. Bellamy will probably be more active on special teams next season.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Josh Bellamy was tendered a $1.9 million contract by the team on Monday. The restricted free agent is a solid special teams player and saw a career high in snaps played on offense in 2017. The Bears receiving corps was one of the worst in the league last year due to injuries, ineffectiveness and simple lack of talent. Bellamy has the speed to make plays down the field, but drops have plagued his progression on offense. The Bears are certain to bring in several new receivers via free agency, trade and the draft, making this signing more of a special teams move than anything else.
