Bell suffered a concussion on Thanksgiving night versus the Ravens, amid one of the scariest plays of the season. While carrying the ball at the goal line, Bell's helmet came off and the back of his head came in direct contact with the ground after being tackled. Bell would not return to the game, but he has since returned to practice at full capacity.
Fantasy Spin: This is refreshing news to hear after watching a player endure such an unsettling injury, and it appears that all systems are go for Bell this week. The Steelers have a great matchup versus a Miami Dolphins defense that has allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to running backs this season, and Bell has already capitalized versus far better this season.
Expect a high-end RB2 output from the Steelers’ feature back this week, and RB1 production is not out of the question for owners entering the first week of fantasy football playoffs. Barring a setback, Bell can be started with confidence.
