Fantasy Slant: Le'Veon Bell's Suspension Reduced to Three Games

The Pittsburgh Steelers will have star running back Le'Veon Bell back sooner than expected. It's being reported that his suspension for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy has been reduced from four games down to three. This means Bell will be back in time for the team's Week 4 outing against the Kansas City Chiefs. 

Not only is this some big news for the Steelers, it's huge for those who have either taken a chance on Bell in re-draft contests or own him in dyno leagues. 

Bell was suspended earlier this summer for his second violation of the NFL's substance abuse policy. It came on the heels of him missing the final 10 games last season with a knee injury. 

Despite all this, Bell currently boasts an ADP at the end of the first round (10th overall). This is a suggestion that the fantasy community is more than happy with taking a chance on him despite his injuries and off-field issues. 

Bell, 24, put up 692 total yards and three scores in six games last season. This came after he finished the 2014 campaign as the second-best fantasy running back in PPR contests.
