Le'Veon Bell has gone over 200 yards from scrimmage in three straight games
Le’Veon Bell is on a historic run right now, so it’s only fitting that he lead off Athlon Sports’ Fantasy Football Running Back Rankings for Week 15. Bell has gone over 200 yards from scrimmage in three straight games; something that hasn’t been done since Hall of Walter Payton accomplished the feat in 1977. During this stretch, Bell has rushed for 484 yards (6.1 ypc), caught 16 passes for 227 yards and scored five total touchdowns. His 44.5 fantasy points last week were not only the most by a RB, but the most by any player. Bell is now the leading fantasy scorer at his position, passing DeMarco Murray, and the good times may not be over just yet. Next up for Bell is a matchup with Atlanta. The Falcons are dead last in the NFL in total defense and also are giving up the most fantasy points to opposing RBs.
