Impact Bell was horribly inefficient during his time with the Jets, ranking 48th among 49 qualified NFL backs with a 3.3 yards-per-carry average. The move to Andy Reid's offense has the potential to revitalize Bell's career, but the 2017 All-Pro will likely have to defer No. 1 duties to Clyde Edwards-Helaire so long as the rookie is healthy. Bell broke off two separate runs of 16 yards in his Chiefs debut, while his other four attempts yielded just seven yards. Coach Reid and offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy may have some special opportunities dialed up for Bell in Week 8, with Kansas City hosting his former team in the Jets.

Making KC debut Bell is listed as active Sunday at Denver, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

Impact As Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported earlier Sunday, Bell is making his debut with the Chiefs after the Jets released him nearly two weeks ago. However, Bell's workload is to be determined in a backfield led by Clyde Edwards-Helaire and with complementary option Darrel Williams also present. The move from New York's listless offense to Kansas City's dynamic unit should be a boon for Bell, even if his reps are capped on a weekly basis.

Will debut Sunday Bell is slated to be available Sunday against the Broncos and is expected to have a role in the Chiefs' game plan, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact How extensively Bell might be involved in his Chiefs debut remains unknown, but Rapoport relays that the 28-year-old has worked hard to learn the playbook since signing with the team last week and looked "really fast" in his initial practices. Rookie first-round pick Clyde Edwards-Helaire is still expected to headline the Kansas City backfield Week 7, but Bell could have the opportunity to immediately seize a larger role than incumbent backup Darrel Williams, who has played 27.5 percent of the offensive snaps through the Chiefs' first six games.

Week 7 status TBD Coach Andy Reid said that the Chiefs plan to take Bell's status this week with a day-by-day approach, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

Impact For now, Reid is non-committal about the backfield newcomer playing Sunday against the Broncos, but Sweeney gets "the sense there could be some type of role in store." With that in mind, those who roster Bell shouldn't count on a big fantasy payoff in Week 7, but once the veteran back is up to speed with his new team's offense, he should provide a nice complement to rookie Clyde Edwards-Helaire, who logged 26 carries for 161 yards and caught four passes for eight yards in Monday's win over the Bills, with Bell unavailable for the contest.

Bell to Sign With Chiefs Kansas City added more firepower out of the backfield in the form of former First Team All-Pro running back Le'Veon Bell.

Links up with KC The Chiefs are expected to sign Bell, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Two days removed from the Jets cutting Bell loose, he considered a handful of teams before linking up with the defending Super Bowl champs. While the move isn't official just yet, pending COVID-19 protocol, he'll vie for reps with rookie Clyde Edwards-Helaire with his new squad whenever he's eligible to play. Per Dan Graziano of ESPN.com, Bell will have to complete five days of testing before he can suit up, all but ruling him out for Monday's game at Buffalo.

OCTOBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Miami and Kansas City in the mix Bell has reportedly narrowed his free-agent destinations down to Kansas City and Miami, according to Nate Taylor and Josh Tolentino of The Athletic.

Impact The Chiefs are an obvious Super Bowl contender, but with 2020 first-rounder Clyde Edwards-Helaire on hand, they don't offer Bell a path to every-down work. Meanwhile, Bell trains in South Florida during the offseason and the Dolphins' backfield is currently headed by Myles Gaskin, who wasn't on the fantasy re-draft radar prior to training camp this summer. Wherever Bell signs, he'll need to work through the league's COVID-19 protocol, so we won't be seeing him carry the ball for any team in Week 6.

Down to three choices At this stage, Bell reportedly plans to sign with either the Dolphins, Chiefs or Bills, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Those three teams happen to be the Jets' next three opponents, though if Bell does sign a contract as soon as Thursday, it doesn't seem likely that he'd immediately step into a key role Week 6. In any case, if Bell has been made available in your league following his recent release, the 28-year-old is worth acquiring in the hope that a change of scenery can help jump-start his 2020 season.

Jets Release Le'Veon Bell Less than two years into their partnership, the New York Jets are releasing former Pro Bowl running back Le'Veon Bell.

OCTOBER 13

Released by Jets The Jets released Bell on Tuesday.

Impact The Jets had apparently been looking to trade Bell and couldn't find any takers, so they cut the three-time All-Pro running back. General manager Joe Douglas made a statement saying this move was in the best interest of both parties. Bell recorded 74 yards on 19 carries (3.9 yards per carry) and caught three passes for 39 yards through two games this year. Frank Gore, La'Mical Perine and Ty Johnson will handle the Jets' backfield reps moving forward. Bell is eligible to sign with a new team immediately.

OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet in return to lineup Bell carried the ball 13 times for 60 yards and caught his only target for seven yards in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Cardinals.

Impact After missing three games with a hamstring strain, Bell returned to action and averaged a solid 4.6 yards a carry, although his workload was limited in another blowout loss for the Jets. He'll remain the team's top backfield option in Week 6 against the Chargers, but whether Joe Flacco or Sam Darnold (shoulder) is under center, Bell's chances of making a big impact in a sluggish offense will be low.

OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Ready to go As expected, Bell (hamstring) has been activated off injured reserve by the Jets ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Cardinals, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Bell pulled his left hamstring in Week 1 and has been sidelined since. He will now look to spark the Jets' struggling offense by re-taking his position as the team's top back. As a result, Frank Gore should revert back to a complementary/short-yardage role. The veteran will be taking handoffs from Joe Flacco, as Sam Darnold (shoulder) has been ruled out.
