Le'Veon Bell, Antonio Brown, Ben Roethlisberger's Post-Week 16 Fantasy Reaction
Le'Veon Bell can't stop scoring touchdowns.
For the fifth game in a row, Bell reached the end zone on Sunday, this time doing so against the Kansas City Chiefs. After a streak of nine games without scoring a touchdown, Bell suddenly can't be stopped short of the goal line.

His fantasy owners have certainly been enjoying the ride, that much is for certain. If your championship round is in Week 17, Bell should be in your starting lineup, no questions asked.
Ditto for Antonio Brown. The NFL's most consistent receiver continues to be Ben Roethlisberger's favorite target and the biggest headache for opposing defensive coordinators. While he's had a quiet game here or there this season, fantasy owners have been able to trust him as a WR1 week in and week out.

Little has changed in that regard.
Big Ben has been far less consistent than his counterparts, however, making him tough to trust against a solid Cincinnati Bengals pass defense in Week 17.

Roethlisberger has won his owners more than a few games this year—and he's been a beast at home more often than not—but with a championship on the line in Week 17, I'd be inclined to look for a Big Ben alternative against Cincy.
