    Chiefs' Blake Bell: Largely out of rotation in 2023

    Blake Bell reeled in five of his nine targets for 26 yards and a touchdown during the 2023 regular season.Bell provided a serviceable backup veteran tight end for the Kansas City 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.

    Chiefs' Blake Bell: Draws first target since Week 8

    Blake Bell played 10 of 65 snaps on offense and failed to haul in his lone target in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Patriots.Bell has suited up in each of the Kansas City Chiefs' first 14 games of the season, but since hauling in a short touchdown reception in Week 1 when Travis Kelce was sidelined with a knee injury, the 32-year-old tight end has barely made a ripple in the box score. All together, Bell has put together a 3-19-1 receiving line on six targets this season while typically seeing only a handful of snaps behind Kelce and Noah Gray in any given week.

    Chiefs' Blake Bell: Snaps drop down in Kelce's return

    Blake Bell went without a target across 14 snaps on offense in Sunday's 17-9 win over the Jaguars.Bell logged 25 snaps on offense and cashed in with two catches for 12 yards and a touchdown in the Kansas City Chiefs' season-opening loss to the Lions, but as expected, his opportunities took a hit Week 2 with top tight end Travis Kelce (knee) returning to the lineup.

    Chiefs' Blake Bell: Scores in Kelce's absence Thursday

    Blake Bell brought in two of three targets for 12 yards and a touchdown in the Kansas City Chiefs' 21-20 loss to the Lions on Thursday night.Bell and Noah Gray filled in for the sidelined Travis Kelce (knee) on Thursday, and the former did his share by recording a four-yard touchdown grab late in the first half to snap a 7-7 tie. The veteran tight end's score marked only his second career trip to the end zone across 101 regular-season games, and if Kelce is healthy enough to suit up for a Week 2 visit to the Jaguars a week from Sunday, Bell should be back to his very minor pass-catching role.

    Blake Bell and the Kansas City Chiefs agreed to a one-year contract Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Bell will return to Kansas City for a fourth straight season with the team in 2023. As a backup option behind Travis Kelce at tight end, Bell appeared in three games in 2022, reeling in two catches for 20 yards and a score.

    Chiefs' Blake Bell: Small involvement late in 2022

    Blake Bell caught his only target for three yards during the Week 18 victory versus the Raiders.Bell spent most of the 2022 campaign on injured reserve due to a hip flexor injury that required surgery. He didn't rejoin the action until Week 16 and played minimal offensive snaps over the final three weeks. Despite that, the veteran backup tight end compiled a pair of catches for 20 yards and his first career touchdown. Bell is late enough in his career that he's clearly not going to turn into a significant receiving threat, so he can be left on waiver wires everywhere heading into 2023. Bell is also a free agent heading into next season, so he'll aim to find a home somewhere as a backup again.

    Chiefs' Blake Bell: Return timeline still unclear

    Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said Blake Bell (hip) is close to a return but added the tight end could also be sidelined for a couple more weeks, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.Bell began the campaign on IR following surgery to repair a hip flexor injury he suffered in late August and has remained sidelined since.
