Find end zone in win

Fells caught all three of his targets for 18 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 26-18 win over Cincinnati.

Analysis: Fells scored Cleveland's second touchdown of the game midway through the second quarter when, draped over by a Bengals defender, reeled in a one-yard touchdown from a scrambling Baker Mayfield. Situated behind an emerging David Njoku, Fells has been seldom used this season, with Sunday representing just his second multi-catch game of the season. His role has been that of occasional red-zone threat, with three of his 10 catches on the season going for touchdowns. The season ends against a Ravens…read more

Scores long touchdown Sunday

Fells secured one of two targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 45-42 loss to the Raiders.

Analysis: Fells spent most of his 39 snaps (48 percent) run-blocking, but the veteran was able to make a huge splash when Baker Mayfield found him in the middle of the field for a 49-yard touchdown in the second quarter of Sunday's game. David Njoku is still the tight end to own in fantasy leagues, though Fells could steal a few red zone targets as the season progresses.

Two receptions Sunday

Fells brought in two of his targets for 15 yards in Sunday's loss to the Saints.

Analysis: David Njoku continues to see the majority of targets at tight end, as Fells now has three receptions on three targets for 27 yards this season. Primarily a run blocker, the veteran isn't likely to play a major fantasy role anytime soon.

Fells agreed Wednesday with the Browns on a three-year, $12 million contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Mainly valued for his work as a run blocker, Fells proved to be a productive pass-catching complement behind starting tight end Eric Ebron in Detroit last season, hauling in 17 of 26 targets for 177 yards and three scores. With Seth DeValve and David Njoku both ranking as higher priorities in the passing game at tight end for new quarterback Tyrod Taylor, it's likely that Fells will see his involvement as a receiver decline in his new locale. Fells should still log plenty of snaps on early…read more

Fells caught 17 of 26 targets for 177 yards and three touchdowns across 16 games in 2017.

Analysis: After spending his first three seasons in Arizona, Fells bolted for Detroit in the 2017 offseason but didn't evolve into anything more than a blocking specialist with his new team. The bulk of his receiving production came in a three-game span from Week 4 to Week 6 when he caught eight of 11 targets for 90 yards and all three of his touchdowns. The former professional basketball player, who's 31 years of age despite entering just his fifth season in the NFL, will now be an unrestricted free…read more

Fells brought in one pass for 23 yards during Sunday's 24-21 victory over the Buccaneers.

Analysis: Fells saw less playing time than Eric Ebron for the first time in a while Sunday, which is strange since the Lions were playing without right tackle Ricky Wagner (ankle, back) and figured to use their veteran blocking specialist to help out on the edge. Regardless, Fells remains far off the fantasy radar.

Fells secured both of his targets for 10 yards during Sunday's 44-20 loss to the Ravens.

Analysis: Fells again led Lions tight ends in playing time, but rookie Michael Roberts continues to eat into his snap count. In fact, the past six games in which Roberts began earning consistent double-digit snaps directly corresponds with the end of Fells' mini-explosion (relative to him) where the veteran caught eight passes for 90 yards and three scores within a three-week stretch. With Roberts unlikely to go away -- and Eric Ebron still in the fold as well -- Fells is unlikely to return to fantasy…read more

Fells saw three targets but was held without a catch during Thursday's 30-23 loss to the Vikings.

Analysis: Fells, operating from the slot, looked to have come down with a touchdown in the second half but the play was overturned after replays showed the ball hit the ground. Outside of that play, Fells wasn't heard from much, as he did most of his work as an in-line blocker. He isn't on the fantasy radar ahead of a Week 13 matchup with the Ravens.

Fells secured his only target for nine yards during Sunday's 27-24 victory over Chicago.

Analysis: Fells' involvement in the passing game has diminished in recent weeks while teammate Eric Ebron's has increased. By measure, Fells has seen just 1.5 targets per game over his past four appearances while Ebron has seen five per tilt over the same stretch. Ebron is the more natural receiver anyway, while Fells' bread and butter is blocking, so it makes sense for each to specialize in one particular facet of the game. Moving forward, that means Fells could be in store for lesser production the…read more

Fells saw one target but was held without a catch during Sunday's 38-24 victory over the Browns.

Analysis: Teammate and fellow tight end Eric Ebron was actually more productive than Fells this week. However, the latter didn't receive many opportunities to catch passes since he was mostly used as a blocker against a respectable Browns defensive front. Barring injury, both Fells and Ebron remain touchdown-dependent fantasy options moving forward.
