Skyler Bell
WR
Buffalo Bills
- Teammate Dalton Kincaid (a top target) is questionable.
- Teammate DJ Moore (a top target) is questionable.
A hurt top target or lead back nudges the projection up a little, since their work tends to shift to teammates. QB and offensive-line flags are shown for context but do not change the number.
This is how WRs have played against the Patriots in the 2026 season.
WR3 = the third-highest-scoring WR against Patriots in each game, not a fixed depth-chart spot.

How Skyler Bell should do vs the PatriotsSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Patriots, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Skyler Bell has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Patriots opponents to line them up with: the best WR they faced in each game (1), the second best (2), the third best (3), or all of the top three. Nobody knows which slot Skyler Bell will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Patriots avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Skyler Bell's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Skyler Bell usually produces.
Projected is Skyler Bell's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Patriots were to the slot you picked. Change the slot and the projected points change, because each slot has a different matchup adjustment. Picking Top 3 uses the usual-role projection.
| Wk | Opp | Tgt | Rec | ReYd | ReTD | FPts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | LA | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.0 |
| 6 | LV | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.0 |
| Bell avg | 1.5 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | |
| Patriots WR3 avg | 4.7 | 2.0 | 14.3 | 0.3 | 5.4 | |
| Difference | +3.2 | +2.0 | +14.3 | +0.3 | +5.4 | |
Difference is what the defense allows minus what Bell averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.
