• 49ers' Ronnie Bell: No receptions in Week 1 win

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Bell logged 13 snaps on offense (18 percent) Monday but did not log a reception in a 32-19 win over the Jets. Bell made San Francisco's opening roster as expected after catching just six of 13 targets over 17 regular-season games as a rookie in 2023. The wideout didn't record a reception in Monday's win, and he did not get an opportunity to return a kickoff while rookie Jacob Cowing handled punt return duties. Given his current role, Bell doesn't move the fantasy needle heading into a Week 2 matchup against the Vikings.

  Bell finished with six receptions (13 targets) for 68 yards and three touchdowns while appearing in 17 regular-season games for San Francisco in 2023. Bell product wasn't projected to make the 53-man roster after being selected by a team loaded at receiver, but a strong camp earned him a reserve role out of the gates. The Michigan product didn't get a ton of run with just six catches in 17 games, but he had a nose for the end zone with half of those receptions hitting pay dirt. Bell also helped fill in for an injured Ray-Ray McCloud as the 49ers' punt returner over the team's final five games. With the latter's contract expiring this offseason, Bell could find himself taking over return duties while being mixed in on offense in 2024.

  Bell (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Lions, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports. Bell will sit out a second straight game after not suiting up for the Niners' divisional-round win over the Packers. His last appearance was Week 18 against the Rams, when he played 44 snaps -- 37 on offense and seven on special teams -- and caught one of five targets for a five-yard touchdown.

• 49ers' Ronnie Bell: Week 18 Waiver Priority List

  01/02/2024 • By Jamey Eisenberg

  With the 49ers expected to rest Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk in Week 18 against the Rams with the No. 1 seed in the NFC locked up, Bell could be the top receiver for San Francisco. Sam Darnold will likely start for the 49ers, so keep that in mind, but Darnold and Bell hooked up for a touchdown in garbage time in Week 16 against Baltimore. Bell is a desperation flier in deeper leagues against the Rams, who are No. 9 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers.

• 49ers' Ronnie Bell: Scores TD in garbage time

  12/26/2023 • By RotoWire

  Bell caught his only target for a 12-yard touchdown in Monday's 33-19 loss to Baltimore. Bell saw his role elevated slightly with the 49ers missing a few role players in the primetime loss to the Ravens. The 2023 seventh-round selection wound up playing seven total snaps Monday, four of which came on special teams and the last three coming on offense when the game was well out of hand. He made the most of his limited opportunities by grabbing his second touchdown of the season on a pass from Sam Darnold. Bell's first score came back in Week 3, and he has seen just four total targets in 11 active games between those trips to the end zone. Given his sporadic usage and the nature of Monday's score, Bell should not be considered as a fantasy option for Week 17 when the 49ers visit the Commanders on Dec. 31.
