Bell was targeted a career-high eight times in Sunday's loss to the Bengals. He hauled in four passes for 43 yards.
Bell was targeted more in the second half after Vance McDonald had two ugly drops that resulted in interceptions. He took advantage of the opportunity and finished with a 40-plus yard performance for the third time in the last four games. While it is unclear what coach Jim Tomsula will decide to do going forward, the logical choice would be to give the rookie tight end a long look in the team's final two games. Until that happens, neither tight end is a desirable option so long as both are sharing targets.
