Chris Bell Can Be a Deep-League Option in Week 4
Chris Bell, Miami Dolphins WR, is emerging as a deep‑league option for Week 4 after stepping up with Caleb Douglas out

Chris Bell - Clear for Sunday
sleeper-rotowire+1 story · 30dSource unavailable
Bell (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Vikings, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. With Caleb Douglas (ankle) already ruled out for Miami, Bell appears set to remain a big part of the passing offense after he set season highs in snaps, routes and targets last Sunday against Kansas City. In Miami's offense that struggles to score points coupled with Minnesota's strong defense, Bell is difficult to trust for fantasy lineups

Chris Bell - Reps capped again
sleeper-rotowire+1 story · 30dSource unavailable
Bell (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. The Dolphins kept Bell's reps in check for the second day in a row, but the team hasn't indicated that he's dealing with a setback with his surgically repaired right knee. As long as he can practice in some fashion Friday, Bell should be in good position to suit up Sunday against the Vikings. Through his first three NFL games, the rookie third-round pick out of Louisville has put together a 5-92-0 receiving line on 11 targets

Chris Bell - Limited Wednesday
sleeper-rotowire+1 story · 30dSource unavailable
Bell (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Notably, Caleb Douglas (ankle) was absent from Wednesday's practice, which could allow Bell to play an increased role again in Week 4 after he caught four of seven targets for 67 yards in last Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. Bell has been seeing his practice reps managed all summer after undergoing ACL surgery late last season

Chris Bell - Sees increased snaps in Week 3
sleeper-rotowire+1 story · 30dSource unavailable
Bell caught four of seven targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Chiefs. With Caleb Douglas (ankle) inactive and De'Von Achane suffering a torn ACL in the first half against Kanas City, Bell was one of the biggest beneficiaries from both a playing time and opportunity perspective. His seven targets were tied for second on the team with Greg Dulcich behind Malik Washington's 10. If Douglas needs to miss more time, Bell could again see elevated snaps Sunday against Minnesota

Chris Bell - Good to go for Week 3
sleeper-rotowire+1 story · 30dSource unavailable
Bell (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. With fellow rookie wideout Caleb Douglas (ankle) ruled out, Bell took on a larger role in Miami's passing game despite recently dealing with fluid buildup and soreness in his surgically repaired right knee. Doctors told him it isn't a major concern, and Bell then told reporters Thursday that he plans to play Week 3

Chris Bell catches one pass in Week 1 loss
Chris Bell caught one of his two targets for 25 yards in the Dolphins' 27-13 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 1. Bell made the most of minimal involvement in an underwhelming Miami air attack, highlighted by a 25-yard reception in the loss. The wideout remains difficult to trust as part of a Miami offense still establishing their identity under new head coach Jeff Hafley, with a Week 2 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers up next

Caleb Douglas Is One of Week 2's Priority Wide Receiver Adds
Caleb Douglas impressed in his NFL debut, catching five passes for 94 yards, setting a franchise record for a rookie debut. Despite the Dolphins' passing game concerns and the presence of other receivers like Chris Bell and Malik Washington, Douglas's role and upside make him a priority waiver add for Week 2

Kirk Cousins throws INT, then third TD as Raiders lead 24-13
Kirk Cousins’ first interception of the game got the Dolphins back in the game, but only briefly. Rookie Michael Taaffe picked Cousins at the Miami 46 on the second play of the second half. Taaffe returned it 2 yards, and the Dolphins drove 52 yards in only four plays. Malik Willis threw a 25-yard pass to rookie Chris Bell and then a 13-yard pass to rookie Caleb Douglas. Two plays later, Willis ran 14 yards for a touchdown. That cut the Raiders’ lead to 17-13. Cousins, though, answered with a five-play, 50-yard drive, capping it with his third touchdown of the day. He passed John Elway for 14th on the all-time passing touchdowns list with his 301st, a 13-yard toss to running back Ashton Jeanty. The Raiders lead 24-13 with 9:58 remaining in the third quarter. Jeanty’s first touchdown was also a 13-yard reception. Cousins is 16-of-20 for 130 yards

Malik Washington Could Be In Position for a Larger Role
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington is his team's most proven option at wide receiver coming into the season, which will be the team's first year under new head coach Jeff Hafley and QB Malik Willis. The offense is expected to be very run-heavy, which could leave limited receiving production for anyone in the offense. Washington will be joined by rookies Caleb Douglas and Chris Bell, along with veteran Jalen Tolbert as the team's top receivers. Washington is coming off 46 catches for 317 receiving yards and three scores in addition to 110 rushing yards and another score last season. With Jaylen Waddle out of the picture, he could end up as the team's top receiver this season, but with a new QB and offense, his role is still very uncertain. He's RotoBaller's No. 71 WR in Week 1 despite a favorable matchup against the Raiders, so he's best left on the bench until his workload is clearer
