We are diving into some fantasy football content this offseason as we look to bring in all sorts of football fans to Vikings Wire. It is arguably the most popular game that is around football, so not dipping our toes into the proverbial pool wouldn’t make sense.
What we will start with is some rookie profiles, and where they fit into the landscape of the team they were drafted by. Next up, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Chris Bell.

Reason to Believe in Chris Bell in 2026: Explosiveness
Chris Bell could have easily been a top-end of the first-round type of player had he not torn his ACL in 2025. Now that he is with the Dolphins, he has a chance to showcase himself as a WR1 and show that he has that explosiveness still in his game. That part of his game is why fantasy players should be excited, because if he gets behind a defense and Malik Willis finds him, then they could be in serious business.
2026 Outlook
Bell is a tough one to be too invested in this year for fantasy football. The Miami Dolphins are a BAD team on paper, and they are going to struggle across the board, it seems. What does that mean for the offense, which has some fun pieces in it, but can they be efficient? Chris Bell has the best chance, but sadly, beyond deeper leagues, he can be avoided in drafts for the time being.
