Bell's NFL profile is still a blank slate, and the numbers underline how little he has done. Across four 2024 games in New England he logged just 34 routes on an 8.6% snap share, drew three targets, and turned them into two catches for 20 yards. His 0.6% target share, 0.59 yards per route run, and slightly negative EPA per play (-0.002) all scream backup, and a 33.3% success rate gives nothing to build on. He finished as roughly the TE98, the kind of line that reflects a player fighting for any field time at all.

A fresh one-year deal in Pittsburgh hands him a clean reset, but he steps into a crowded tight end room competing for snaps rather than touches. Modest projections in the 10-catch, 99-yard, one-touchdown range fit a deep-league afterthought. He is a watch-list dynasty stash and nothing more until he carves out a defined role.
