Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell will re-enter the lineup on Sunday and resume his usual post as the team's feature back.

Speaking on Monday on SiriusXM NFL Radio, Bell's replacement, DeAngelo Williams, confirmed the obvious that the Steelers' star running back would take the bulk of the workload.
I’m very excited to get Le’Veon Bell back and this is his job,” Williams said. “I’m here to support him and help this team win.”
Fantasy impact: Savvy fantasy owners who started Williams in Bell’s place got fantastic production, as the 32-year-old averaged 5 yards per carry and rushed for three touchdowns in two starts. But Williams will go back to being a mere handcuff upon Bell’s return, although he asserted his status as one of the premier ones across the fantasy football spectrum.
Bell remains a weekly threat to put up the top numbers among running backs, and that remains the case for Week 3 against a St. Louis Rams defense that got gashed by Washington's tandem of running backs.
