Fantasy Profile: Le’Veon Bell, RB, Pittsburgh Steelers
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell is one of the last few true workhorse backs in the NFL. Accumulating the second most touches of any running back in the league with 290 carries and 83 receptions, Bell was able to rack up 2215 total yards and 11 touchdowns, finishing as the #2 scoring running back in standard scoring leagues last season behind only DeMarco Murray.
In 2015, Bell will miss the first two games of the season due to a suspension, but with his involvement as a major cog in one of the stronger offenses in the NFL, Bell is still a good bet to still be a top option in fantasy drafts.
