Fantasy Impact: While Bell did a great job filling in when teammate Reggie Bush was banged up last year, 2014 has been a different story. He just can't seem to get going. While it means Bush's fantasy owners get a little bit more bang for their buck going forward, Bell's fantasy employers may need to start looking at other options.
In Week 4, the Lions face a New York Jets squad that is second in the league against the run in terms of fantasy points allowed, which means Sunday's game could be the start of a long afternoon for Bell.
Fantasy owners need to start considering waiver wire options or other running backs on the roster given that Bell can’t get going and the chances of a bounce-back performance this week don’t look promising.
