Le'Veon Bell Won't Be Held Back In Opener
5 years agoNew York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell told head coach Adam Gase "don't hold back" with his workload in Week 1 against the Bills. Bell is expected to get 15 to 20 touches in his season debut with Gang Green, so fantasy owners shouldn't need to be too worried about the Jets easing him in after not playing in an NFL game in well over a year. The matchup against the Buffalo defense, on the other hand, poses more of a challenge for Bell. He's one of the best all-around backs in the NFL, but you must expect a little rust, making him more of a low-end RB1 on opening weekend.
