Should You Start or Roster Dillon Bell?
Bell arrived in Minnesota as an undrafted rookie, and his current standing reflects that: rostered in essentially 0% of leagues, carried at an ADP of 393 overall and 162 among receivers, with a lone expert ranking pegging him at WR265. There are no 2026 projections attached to his name and no NFL stat line yet, which tells you everything about where he sits on the roster. He is a developmental add brought in for depth, not for production.
The college resume offers something to dream on. Across 56 games at Georgia he piled up 119 catches for 1,269 yards and 11 touchdowns, profiling as a big, physical receiver who breaks tackles and can be schemed touches on gadget looks. The 2026 slate is favorable, grading out as the league's softest receiver schedule. None of that earns a draft pick this summer, but he is worth a watchlist note if injuries open a path.
