Le'Veon Bell, LeGarrette Blount's Instant Fantasy Reaction After Week 11

R. Cory SmithNov 17, 2014

Throughout the 2014 season, the Pittsburgh Steelers running back group has been one of the strongest in the NFL. That trend continued in Week 11 with Le'Veon Bell torching the Tennessee Titans.

Bell has more than lived up to the hype this season and was a star once again on Monday Night Football. The former Michigan State back rushed for a career-high 204 yards and a touchdown against the Titans.

A recent slump for Bell was all but forgotten before the teams headed to the locker room. NFL on ESPN also notes how the production from the first half compared to recent weeks:

Despite the low numbers on the ground, Bell still got the job done in the passing game. With a combined 71 receiving yards and a touchdown during those contests, the second-year player has still been solid in fantasy.

Though he wasn't involved much in the passing game on Monday, he set a new mark for running backs this season. ESPN Stats & Info and NFL on ESPN pointed out the historical significance of his night:

Getting back on track against the Titans, Bell looked to rekindle the fantasy production he had from the first nine weeks of the season. Before facing New York, Bell had tallied double-digit points every game on the year.

LeGarrette Blount, on the other hand, wasn't a factor at all on Monday night. Blount failed to get a touch throughout the night as Bell took all of the carries even late in the game during garbage time.

When it comes to the rotation, Bell remains the bell cow—no pun intended—while Blount's role is even less defined as earlier in the season. Heading into matchups with the New Orleans Saints and Cincinnati Bengals, Bell will continue to shine heading into the fantasy playoffs.
