From the article

Bell is averaging 12.3 yards per catch, but the rookie has not been the primary target in the passing game – where Malik Washington has nearly double the amount of targets, almost three-times the receptions, and more than double the yards. Bell has been targeted more than fellow rookie Caleb Douglas – in part because Douglas missed three games with an injury – but Douglas has one more reception and almost 80 more yards than Bell. Miami is playing it smart with Bell, who tore his ACL less than a year ago, but it has depressed some of his stats this season.

STACKED’s take

Bell limited in role due to ACL recovery; Washington is primary target.

Bell is averaging 12.3 yards per catch but has not been the primary target in Miami's passing game; Malik Washington has nearly double the targets, almost three times the receptions, and more than double the yards. Bell has been targeted more than fellow rookie Caleb Douglas (who missed three games with injury), but Douglas has one more reception and almost 80 more yards than Bell. The source attributes this limited role to Miami playing it conservatively with Bell, who tore his ACL less than a year ago, which has depressed his stats this season despite showing flashes of potential.
