Despite missing three games due to suspension, Le’Veon Bell may finish 2016 as the best running back in fantasy football.

Entering week 12, Bell ranks second in fantasy scoring among running backs with only David Johnson ahead of him. Bell actually ranks first over the last three weeks as he is really stepping up his game to try and carry the Pittsburgh Steelers into the playoffs.
Whenever Bell plays, he is essentially a lock to get at least 100 all-purpose yards, something he has failed to do just once this year (70 vs. the Ravens in Week 9). In seven games, Bell has accounted for 579 rushing yards and two touchdowns with 53 catches for 415 yards and two scores.
Now, Bell gets to face an Indianapolis Colts defense that has been surprisingly good vs. running backs this year, but not enough that they should keep Bell from having a big game.
Fantasy Impact: Yahoo! ranks Ball as the best running back in Week 12. He faces a Colts defense allowing the fewest fantasy points to running backs over the last five weeks.
Regardless, you will keep Bell in your lineup without hesitation.
