Jeff Hafley on Dolphins rookies Chris Bell and Caleb Douglas being listed as Week 1 starters: 'We believe those guys deserve to start, and we're gonna start them.' Said there's no pitch count on Chris Bell... According to Pro Football Focus (PFF), Bell played 14 offensive snaps in the third preseason game. He ran 11 routes and was targeted on five of them, good for 0.45 targets per route run (TPRR), hauling in two receptions for 22 yards... FantasyPros' consensus projections has Bell at only 2.1 receptions, 26.4 receiving yards, 0.1 receiving touchdown and 4.4 half-PPR points
STACKED’s take
Bell's unrestricted snap count and preseason targets suggest 4.4-point projection is too low.
Bell, drafted 94th overall in the third round by Miami, is listed as a Week 1 starter with no snap count restriction despite tearing his ACL in November. Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley stated: 'We believe those guys deserve to start, and we're gonna start them.' In the third preseason game, Bell played 14 offensive snaps, ran 11 routes, and was targeted on five of them (0.45 targets per route run), catching two receptions for 22 yards with a 12.2-yard average depth of target. In his final collegiate season at Louisville, Bell had 106 targets, 72 receptions (6.5 per game), 917 receiving yards (83.4 per game), 2.55 yards per route run, and 5.2 yards after the catch per reception. FantasyPros' consensus projections have Bell at only 4.4 half-PPR points, but the source believes he can outperform those numbers and emerge as a deep-league waiver wire suggestion after Week 1.
