2023 Fantasy Outlook
Despite a 2022 season marred by injury, the Chiefs and Bell linked up on a one-year contract to keep in him in Kansas City's tight end room for 2023. The 6-6, 252-pounder still managed to reel in a touchdown in his brief run on the field, finishing the campaign with two grabs for 20 yards over just three games. Bell and third-year player Noah Gray figure to vie for snaps alongside star tight end Travis Kelce, but neither warrants much fantasy consideration unless Kelce were to miss any time.

RANKS
Largely out of rotation in 2023
Bell reeled in five of his nine targets for 26 yards and a touchdown during the 2023 regular season.
ANALYSIS
Bell provided a serviceable backup veteran tight end for the Chiefs in 2023, but he sat clearly behind Travis Kelce and Noah Gray in the pecking order. Belldozer's contract expires following the season, so it wouldn't be shocking if the 31-year-old looks into the open market for another spot in 2024 after three seasons with the Chiefs. Bell has tallied no more than 11 receptions in a season since his rookie year, so he's not a fantasy asset to consider next season, regardless of the uniform he dons.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Shifting up depth chart?
Bell could move up the depth chart if Travis Kelce is sidelined in Week 1 against the Lions, Adam Teicher of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Kelce exited practice Tuesday after suffering a knee injury, leaving his status for Thursday's game in question. Noah Gray operated as the Chiefs' backup tight end in 2022, though Bell was sidelined most of the year with a hip injury. Bell has played 19 games with Kansas City across the last two campaigns and tallied 11 receptions for 107 yards and a touchdown.

Bell recorded just nine catches for 87 yards on 13 targets in 16 games during the 2021 season and has logged double-digit receptions just twice since entering the NFL in 2015. The veteran tight end still hasn't caught a touchdown pass in his career and heads into the coming season battling with Noah Gray and Jody Fortson for slotting behind top option Travis Kelce.
