The Pittsburgh Steelers are committed to running the ball with Le’Veon Bell, even though he has barely averaged3 yards per carry the last two games. Bell had 26 carries for 80 yards in the Week 10 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He also caught five passes for 32 yards. Bell has 25 or more touches in every game since Week 6 and over 100 total yards in three of four of those games.
Fantasy football start/sit advice Week 11: What to do with Le’Veon Bell Thursday night
Bell keeps fantasy appeal because of high volume despite low production for a second straight game.

The Tennessee Titans’ defense may be a challenge for Bell Thursday night. The Titans play well against the run, ranking fourth in fewest rushing yards allowed to opposing running backs. They have only given up three rushing touchdowns to running backs this season. Bell may be able to have more success in the passing game. The Titans are the fifth-worst team at defending pass catchers out of the backfield.
Fantasy impact: Bell touches the ball so many times it is hard to even consider sitting him. He only has two games with fewer than 25 touches. The two-time Pro Bowler seems to be going through a lull of late, unfortunately. Bell still gets enough touches to make a ripple in fantasy, but he is just not putting up those monster numbers at the moment.
