Jaheim Bell

Tough to tackle in the open field. Bell is a quarterback's best friend with his abilities after the catch. He has the speed to turn a short check-down into a big gain at any time. Over the last three seasons (minimum 20 targets), he has ranked inside the top 12 in both YAC per reception (11th, 10th, first) and missed tackles forced (seventh, eighth, fourth). Bell is a smooth operator in routes. He has easy acceleration in and out of his breaks. He is tough to push off his routes with his thick, muscular frame. Bell will be a matchup problem in the NFL. He's too physical for nickel corners to handle and too quick for linebackers to hang with at times on crossers. Dynasty Outlook: Well, the NFL just told us what they thought about Bell as a prospect. That was stated loudly with his fall all the way to the seventh round of the NFL Draft. Bell is worth a taxi squad spot, but it's possible he doesn't even make the team with Hunter Henry, Austin Hooper, and Mitchell Wilcox all above him on the depth chart. In tight-end premium formats, he's worth a stash, but in every other dynasty format, I'll be avoiding him as there are better darts to throw late.

The New England Patriots have selected TE Jaheim Bell with the No. 231 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Impact

Bell saw nine starts last season, posting 503 receiving yards and two touchdowns on 39 receptions. He fits what the Patriots typically look for, a hybrid versatile player that can play multiple positions.
