Pittsburgh Steelers RB Le’Veon Bell, who is appealing a four-game suspension for violating the NFL’s drug policy, said ‘I’m not going to miss games, trust me.’ ‘I’m gonna win the appeal…ppl have no idea what happened, but don’t worry…let em hate,’ Bell wrote directly to a fan. ‘When I end up missin no games at all, ppl for sure gonna try to love me again and I’m only ridin with my LOYAL fans!!’
Footballguys View: Let’s just say we’re not as optimistic as Bell in this instance. Bell is supremely talented as a runner and receiver out of the backfield. However, injuries and suspensions have kept him from consistently playing up to his potential. If suspended four games, Bell is still worth taking somewhere around a third- or fourth-round pick in your fantasy drafts. DeAngelo Williams proved last year that he could be an effective starter and a star fantasy RB as the Steelers lead back.
