Spin: The rookie out of UConn hasn't played in either of Buffalo's first two preseason games, but after practicing fully Monday, Bell appears on track to play in Thursday's exhibition finale versus the Steelers, per Alex Brasky of SI.com. Bell's injury during training camp may have pushed back his timeline for contributing on the field early this season, even if he gets a preseason game under his belt.
ESPN Fantasy Projection: Bell was selected by the Bills in the fourth round of April's draft. Bell is an undersized, but versatile, receiver who finished 2025 second in the nation (first in this WR rookie class) in receiving yards (1,278) and, while he had a class-high 25 drops across 52 collegiate games, he was better in this area last season (five drops on 146 targets). Bell showed well at the combine, running a solid 4.40 40-yard dash and posting terrific marks in the vertical and broad jump. With DJ Moore and Khalil Shakir locked in atop Buffalo's WR depth chart, Bell will compete with Keon Coleman and Josh Palmer for work. He's only worth drafting in dynasty formats.
