Fantasy owners shouldn’t worry about Joique Bell (knee)
Joique Bell is limited in practice this week. We break down the fantasy implications.
Streeter Lecka
He’s not having a very strong season thus far, positing a yards-per-carry average of just 3.5 for totals of 87 rushing yards and one score on the ground. Bell does have seven catches for 66 yards and he’s clearly an option in the passing game. Plus, he’s a safe bet for the goal-line carries despite having two fumbles already this season. In other words, he’ll be fine.
Fantasy impact: The Packers defense give up a ton of yards to running back and ranks 27th in fantasy points allowed to running backs so far this season. Bell should be viewed as a strong RB2 in almost any format and should get at least 15 touches. Meanwhile, Reggie Bush is more of a flex in standard leagues and a solid RB2 in PPR formats.
