Chris Bell was the 30th pick in the 3rd round (94th overall) in the<\/span> 2026 NFL Draft<\/span><\/a>, where the Miami Dolphins selected him as the 17th wide receiver off the board. What is Chris Bell\u2019s dynasty outlook on a wide-open Dolphins depth chart?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dynasty Outlook for Rookie Dolphins Wide Receiver Chris Bell<\/b><\/h2>\n

College Production<\/b><\/h3>\n

Bell spent all four years of his collegiate career<\/a> with the Louisville Cardinals. After just seven receptions in his freshman year, he had 29 for 407 yards in his sophomore year and 43 for 737 and four touchdowns in his junior year. He finished his senior season <\/span>with 72 receptions for 917 yards and six touchdown receptions<\/span><\/a> before tearing his ACL and missing his final two games. He would have been drafted within the first two rounds if not for the ACL injury. The injury caused him to fall to the end of the 3rd round, but there is a <\/span>good chance he will be ready for training camp<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Dolphins lost Tyreek Hill to injury and traded Jaylen Waddle away to the Broncos. The wide receiver room consists of Tutu Atwell, Jalen Tolbert, Malik Washington, Tahj Washington, and fellow third-round rookie Caleb Douglas<\/a>. The Dolphins drafted Douglas ahead of Bell, but Bell is seen as the better player. The depth chart is wide open for anyone to be the WR1 for new quarterback Malik Willis<\/a>. The Dolphins are in full rebuild and tank mode, but someone has to catch passes for Willis. If Bell can be fully healthy for Week 1, he can be the WR1 for the Dolphins.<\/span><\/p>\n
