Chris Bell Week 5 Outlook - Bengals at Dolphins

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 8th 2026, 1:35pm EDT

Last week, Chris Bell was so close to a big game, but he stepped out of bounds, and a massive play was called back. Don't let his quiet box score overshadow the fact that his route share was up to 80% last week. Bell also had a 17.6% target share and 16.7% first-read share. With his 93.8% snap rate on the perimeter last week, though I'm worried he sees a ton of DJ Turner this week, so I'm sitting him. Turner has followed DK Metcalf, Xavier Hutchinson, Emeka Egbuka, and Parker Washington on 52.9-77.1% of their routes this season. Only one of those receivers surpassed 31 receiving yards in Turner's coverage. Only Metcalf scored a touchdown because another Bengal ran into Turner. Sit Bell this week, but hopefully brighter days are ahead.
