Reggie Kelly

Kelly won't make ATL debut Friday

News: Falcons newly signed TE Reggie Kelly, acquired after a knee injury to Justin Peelle, won’t play against Jacksonville Friday, Falcons coach Mike Smith said. “We’ll try to get him in next week,” Smith said. Kelly was acquired on Tuesday.
Analysis: Kelly doesn't have an injury he's dealing with, but the team is likely holding him out because he can only have minimal knowledge of the playbook sing he was just signed. Keep an eye on his progress later on, as he competes for the No. 2 TE job. Kelly doesn't warrant much Fantasy value for now, so ignore him on Draft Day.

Kelly signs with Falcons

News: The Falcons announced Tuesday that they signed TE Reggie Kelly to a contract.
Analysis: Kelly came into the league as a second-round pick with the Falcons in 1999. He has been with the Bengals since 2003, but he has been primarily a blocking TE. He will provide the Falcons with depth, but even if he makes the roster Kelly is not worth owning in Fantasy.

Report: Kelly calls it a career

News: Former Bengals TE Reggie Kelly declined the Steelers one-year offer of a minimum veteran’s contract to compete for their No. 2 job, and he decided to remain retired, reported the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Analysis: Kelly was a good blocking tight end in his NFL career but never a reliable Fantasy option.

Reggie Kelly

Kelly, Bengals likely to part ways

News: The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that Bengals TE Reggie Kelly, who will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, probably will not return in 2011 after signing a one-year deal last season.
Analysis: Kelly has minimal Fantasy value no matter he plays. Keep an eye on his status heading into 2011, but ignore him in all leagues on Draft Day.

Kelly matches career high

News: Bengals TE Reggie Kelly matched a career-high with four catches in a Week 14 loss at Pittsburgh. Kelly only managed 15 yards, however.
Analysis: Kelly actually started on Sunday against the Steelers after Jermaine Gresham missed practice all week following the death of his grandmother. Kelly will go back to his backup job in Week 15 against the Browns and remains a non-factor in Fantasy play.

Reggie Kelly

Kelly finally gets a catch

News: Bengals TE Reggie Kelly managed just one catch for 9 yards in Week 2 against the Ravens. It was his only target of the game. He had no catches in the opener against New England.
Analysis: Kelly is in his 12th NFL season, but Cincy keeps him around these days as a mentor to rookie TE Jermaine Gresham, who is being groomed to be a star for the Bengals. It's nice Kelly is able to resume his career after missing 2009 with an injury, but he is not worth owning in Fantasy. The Bengals play the Panthers in Week 3.

Reggie Kelly, TE, ATL

Reggie Kelly

Kelly could remain starter

News: The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that Bengals rookie TE Jermaine Gresham could open the season as the starter if he's signed and in training camp no later than the third day. That would put Reggie Kelly on the bench, but if Gresham is a holdout then Kelly could open the season as the starter. Chase Coffman is likely the No. 3 TE on the depth chart, but he could be used in two tight-end sets along with Gresham since Kelly is more known for his blocking ability.
Analysis: Kelly is more of a blocker than a receiver, and he's not expected to see many targets even if he starts as long as Gresham is healthy. Ignore Kelly in all leagues on Draft Day.

Reggie Kelly, TE, ATL

Reggie Kelly

Kelly able to practice

News: The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that Bengals TE Reggie Kelly was able to practice during Thursday's OTA workout. Kelly was pretty much healed from his Achilles' injury when he re-signed on May 13, but coach Marvin Lewis felt like a two-week conditioning stint would be best.
Analysis: Kelly is more of a blocker than a receiver, and he will compete with rookie Jermaine Gresham and second-year TE Chase Coffman for playing time. But Kelly has minimal Fantasy value. Ignore him in all leagues on Draft Day.

Reggie Kelly

Kelly back with Bengals

News: The Bengals re-signed TE Reggie Kelly on Thursday. Kelly ruptured his left Achilles' tendon last summer and missed all of the 2009 season. The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that after becoming an unrestricted free agent March 5, Kelly has not worked out with the team but will return next week to resume working out. He did have a workout for the team on April 7 to see how much progress he was making. Kelly is hoping to be able to run routes and work with the team either late in the on-field coaching sessions or during the June 15-17 minicamp. His goal is to get some of the rust knocked off by training camp in late July. "We've both agreed to take it slow and not rush things. I know it will take some time to get in football shape and we want to err on the side of caution," Kelly said. He will likely compete for a backup spot behind rookie Jermaine Gresham.
Analysis: Kelly is more of a blocker than a receiver. This is a good move for the Bengals, but Kelly has minimal Fantasy value. Ignore him in all leagues on Draft Day.

Bengals want TE Kelly back?

News: Even with the Bengals selecting TE Jermaine Gresham in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft, the team is still working to sign veteran (and much beloved) TE Reggie Kelly. Kelly ruptured an Achilles' tendon last summer and missed all of the 2009 season. "Reggie and I talk every day," head coach Marvin Lewis said. "I'd like to have Reggie Kelly back. Hopefully it gets worked out in pretty short order."
Analysis: Kelly would serve as a blocking tight end, just as he has for much of his career. He wouldn't be expected to post many stats, so Fantasy owners could pass on him easily.

Kelly hopes to begin jogging soon

News: Bengals TE Reggie Kelly, who ruptured the Achilles' tendon in his left leg during training camp, is ahead of schedule in his recovery and hopes to be jogging within a month. The tight end expects to play next year.
Analysis: Kelly finished third on the team in receiving last season with 31 catches for 207 yards. Kelly wasn't worth owning in Fantasy play to begin with.

Bengals put TE Kelly on IR

News: Following a ruptured Achilles' tendon suffered early on in training camp, the Bengals placed TE Reggie Kelly on injured reserve on Wednesday. He won't play this season.
Analysis: Kelly finished third on the team in receiving last season with 31 catches for 207 yards. The injury opens the way for Ben Utecht and rookie Chase Coffman to take a larger role. Utecht was hurt last season as he caught only 16 passes. Kelly wasn't worth owning in Fantasy play to begin with.

TE Kelly ruptures Achilles'

News: The Bengals sustained their first significant injury of training camp Monday when tight end Reggie Kelly ruptured his Achilles' tendon, a notable setback to an offense that finished last in the NFL. Kelly hurt his left leg during a morning practice and will have surgery on Wednesday. He is expected to be sidelined for at least six months, putting him out for the season. It is the first major injury for Kelly, an 11-year veteran who has spent six seasons with Cincinnati. The injury occurred when the tight end moved sideways during a non-contact drill. "It's very unfortunate," offensive coordinator Bob Bratkowski said. "We lost a very good player who is a true professional, a leader and a gentleman. There's nothing we can do about it. It's a freak thing. We have to face it, go forward and find a way."
Analysis: Kelly finished third on the team in receiving last season with 31 catches for 207 yards. The injury opens the way for Ben Utecht and rookie Chase Coffman to take a larger role. Utecht was hurt last season as he caught only 16 passes. Kelly wasn't worth owning in Fantasy play to begin with.

Foot sidelines Bengals' Kelly

News: Bengals tight end Reggie Kelly hurt his left foot during practice and was on crutches afterward. The extent of the injury was not immediately clear. The official team Web site called it a "serious" Achilles' injury that resulted in Kelly leaving the facility with an ice pack taped to his left foot.
Analysis: Kelly doesn't so much for stats, so Fantasy owners won't mind if he's out for a while. But he's a key blocker for the Bengals, so his loss might be felt in other ways. We'll keep you posted.

Housh among Bengals without a stat

News: Bengals WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh, TE Reggie Kelly, TE Nate Lawrie, WR Glenn Holt, TE Brad St. Louis, FB/TE Daniel Coats, RB Chris Perry and QB Jordan Palmer all dressed for Cincinnati's Week 16 win over the Browns, but failed to record an offensive statistic.
Analysis: The weather really contributed to Houshmandzadeh not catching a ball on Sunday as QB Ryan Fitzpatrick only attempted nine passes. He is the only guy in this list with any Fantasy value.

12/14/2008

Reggie Kelly, TE, ATL

Reggie Kelly

R. Kelly totals 3 yards Week 15

News: Cincinnati TE Reggie Kelly caught one pass for three yards in Week 15's win over the Redskins.
Analysis: Kelly has 29 catches for 198 yards this season for the Bengals. Those aren't bad numbers for him but it is certainly not worth using in Fantasy in Week 16 at Cleveland. He made three grabs against the Browns in Week 4 for 21 yards.

12/7/2008

Reggie Kelly, TE, ATL

Reggie Kelly

Kelly makes 3 grabs Week 14

News: Cincinnati TE Reggie Kelly caught three passes for seven yards in Week 14's 35-3 loss to the Colts.
Analysis: Kelly has yet to find the end zone this season and with the QB situation in Cincinnati, it isn't going to happen anytime soon unless on a fluke. Do not start him in Week 15 against the Washington Redskins.

Reggie Kelly

Kelly makes an eight-yard reception

News: Bengals TE Reggie Kelly, averaging three receptions over his last four games, had only one for eight yards Week 13 against the Ravens.
Analysis: Even though Kelly gets fairly consistent receptions, he never gets many yards. He remains nothing more than a last resort in Fantasy and should remain on waivers Week 14 at Indianapolis.

11/21/2008

Reggie Kelly, TE, ATL

Reggie Kelly

R. Kelly leads Bengals receivers

News: Bengals TE Reggie Kelly led the Bengals with 41 receiving yards on three catches Week 12 at Pittsburgh. The 41 yards represented a season high.
Analysis: Kelly didn't have a Fantasy-relevant performance with the 41 yards, so he obviously hasn't had a Fantasy-relevant performance all season. Leave him on waivers for Week 13 against the Ravens.

11/16/2008

Reggie Kelly, TE, ATL

Reggie Kelly

Kelly makes 3 grabs Week 11

News: Cincinnati TE Reggie Kelly caught three passes for 24 yards in Week 11's 13-all tie with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Analysis: Kelly has nine catches in his last three games and 21 for the entire season. Still, Kelly shares time at the TE spot with Ben Utecht in Cincy and has no Fantasy value. The Bengals are at Pittsburgh in Week 12 on Thursday night.

11/2/2008

Reggie Kelly, TE, ATL

Reggie Kelly

Kelly makes two grabs

News: Bengals TE Reggie Kelly made two catches for eight yards in a Week 9 win over the Jaguars.
Analysis: Kelly shares time at the TE spot with Ben Utecht in Cincy and has no Fantasy value. The Bengals are off in Week 10.

10/26/2008

Reggie Kelly, TE, ATL

Reggie Kelly

Kelly makes 4 grabs Sunday

News: Bengals TE Reggie Kelly caught four passes for 34 yards in Sunday's 35-6 drubbing at the hands of the Houston Texans in Week 8.
Analysis: Kelly had his first multi-catch game since September and is not a recommended Fantasy tight end as the Bengals face Jacksonville in Week 9.

10/19/2008

Reggie Kelly, TE, ATL

Reggie Kelly

Bengals minions don't factor

News: The following Bengals did not record an offensive statistic in Week 7 against Pittsburgh: TE Reggie Kelly, LS/TE Brad St. Louis, TE Nate Lawrie, TE Daniel Coats and WR Andre Caldwell.
Analysis: None of the players on this list should be considered viable Fantasy option. They are not in a position to contribute regular stats as they aren't in line for regular playing time. They've got some depth chart climbing to do and should be left on the waiver wire.

10/12/2008

Seven Bengals held statless Week 6

News: Bengals TE Reggie Kelly, WR Glenn Holt, RB Kenny Watson, TE Brad St. Louis, WR Antonio Chatman, TE Daniel Coats and QB Jordan Palmer all dressed, but failed to record an offensive stat Week 6 at N.Y. Jets.
Analysis: Kelly and Watson have been disappointing offensive players for the Bengals in 2008 and they are no longer considered key players. Most of these guys are reserves for the Bengals and have little to no Fantasy value heading into Week 7 against the Steelers.

10/5/2008

Reggie Kelly

Kelly totals one yard Sunday

News: Bengals TE Reggie Kelly caught one pass for one yard on Sunday in Week 5 against Dallas.
Analysis: Kelly shares the tight end position with Ben Utecht. For now, don't plan on using Kelly in most leagues. The Bengals play at the Jets in Week 6.
