Le'Veon Bell Set To Play, Will Have Small Role
4 years agoKansas City Chiefs running back Le'Veon Bell (knee) is expected to suit up in the season finale against the Chargers, though he's slated to have a small role. Sitting at 14-1 with the one seed locked up, it doesn't make much sense for the Chiefs to push Bell, effectively their starter right now, in a meaningless game. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport mentions that Darwin Thompson will receive the bulk of the backfield work, meaning Bell should be avoided in DFS and any redraft leagues still going this week. Thompson could have some low-end flex value, though the upside won't be there without Patrick Mahomes (rest) in the lineup.
