Making the Case

• True Freshman Breakout
• 3-Year Producer
• Early-Declare
• Top-100 Draft Pick
• Wide-Open Depth Chart
• Elite QB (Eventually)
• WR60 Price Tag

David Bell’s WR60 Dynasty ADP & WR87 Redraft ADP stick out like a sore thumb.

This article will cover all of the reasons why he’s a MASSIVE value at that price.

For starters, David Bell has only ever been productive.

He stepped in as a True Freshman at Purdue & immediately posted 86/1035/7.

Bell followed up his spectacular freshman season with 53/625/8 in 6 games as a SO. (during a COVID-shortened 2020 season).

Along with another 93/1286/6 as a JR.

Bell posted an 87th percentile Target Share (via @rotounderworld).

& after his JR. season – he declared early for the NFL Draft.

Bell was then selected in the Top-100 picks – with CLE Coach Kevin Stefanski reportedly pounding the table & telling GM Andrew Berry “this day needs to end with David Bell on our team.”

Now – Bell’s in position to immediately assume CLE’s WR2 role.

Amari Cooper is the only WR in CLE who’s ever cleared 60 targets in an NFL season.

& so far this pre-season, Bell has done just that – catching 6 of 7 targets in 2 games.

Bell’s QB (Deshaun Watson) is also an elite performer – who passed for 4,823 yards & 33 TD’s the last full-season he played.

Watson has an 11-game suspension to serve – but when he returns, David Bell’s value is going to skyrocket.

That makes NOW the perfect time to BUY – while Watson’s suspension keeps the window wide-open.

Bell is currently being drafted as the WR60 in startups via @Adeiko_FF’s ADP sheet – behind perennial non-performer Allen Lazard & faceplanter Rondale Moore…

(Try flipping Lazard for Bell+, or Rondale straight-up).

Lazard + a 3 for Bell + a 2 (even in 2024 or 2025) would be ideal.

Bell’s also going behind Alec Pierce & Jalen Tolbert, & just one spot ahead of Romeo Doubs – all 3 late-declares with worse production profiles.

(Try flipping them for Bell+, or even straight-up).

You can pivot-down from WR’s like Gabriel Davis, Christian Kirk, & Michael Gallup to Bell+

Or you can try swapping RB’s like Michael Carter, Isiah Pacheco, Devin Singletary, Tyler Allgeier, or Isaiah Spiller for Bell.

(You may even be able to flip them for Bell+)

Bell is also consistently available in RD17/18 on

@UnderdogFantasy & makes for a great bestball pick with one of your last 2 selections.

A Watson/Bell stack is one of the cheapest Elite-QB/WR2 stacks available.

& Bell often goes undrafted in traditional redraft leagues – which means you even have the luxury of being able to pick him up off waivers in-season.

Add it all up & David Bell is being criminally undervalued in every single format.

He’s someone you should be looking to acquire at market value everywhere & anywhere possible.
