WEEK 3 NON-PPR RANKINGS:Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker
Is Le’Veon Bell playing Monday night?
UPDATE: Bell is officially ACTIVE.
After Bell’s MRI came back clean, he told reporters he was “good to go” for Monday night. He got in a limited practice on Friday and shouldn’t have any restrictions for Monday night’s game.
MORE WEEK 3: Waiver wire pickups
If something were to happen to Bell, Ty Montgomery and Bilal Powell would pick up the slack. Montgomery had two carries and no targets in Week 1, while Powell didn’t have a touch. This is clearly Bell’s backfield, and even if he’s slightly banged up, it’s unlikely he cedes much work to either of New York’s handcuffs.
MONDAY NIGHT DFS: DraftKings Showdown picks
Bell is coming off a 23-touch, 92-total-yard, one-TD performance against Buffalo, and Cleveland was shredded by Derrick Henry for 84 yards on the ground, 75 yards through the air, and two total TDs. Bell has a lot of upside tonight and could be the hammer that swings fantasy matchups. Play him with confidence.
