Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell faces a four-game suspension for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy according to multiple sources. The violation stems from a missed test and not a positive
test for an illegal substance. Bell has appealed the suspension but a final decision about whether the four-game ban will be upheld may not come until the beginning of the season.
The loss of Bell four what may be the first four games of the 2016 season puts a dent in his overall Fantasy value and makes it wise to handcuff teammate DeAngelo Williams who will replace him as the starting running back until he returns. For a more in-depth look at the effect of Bell’s suspension on his Fantasy value and the best way to approach Fantasy Football drafts in light of this breaking story, watch the video below with Garion Thorne and Matt Best of the FNTSY Sports Network.
