I would let the CellView handle the click event, but it will just trigger a Backbone event:

var CellView = Backbone.View.extend({
    className : 'cell',

    initialize: function() {
        _.bindAll(this, 'analyzeCellClick');
    }

    events : {
        'click' : 'analyzeCellClick',
    },

    analyzeCellClick : function() {
        this.trigger('cellClicked', this.model);
    }
});

var BoardView = Backbone.View.extend({
    // ...

    addCell : function(cell) {
        var view = new Views.CellView({
            model : cell
        }).render();

        this.cellList.append(view.el);
        view.bind('cellClicked', function(cell) {
              this.analyzeCellClick(cell);
            };
    },

    analyzeCellClick : function(cell) {
        // do something with cell
    }
});
