Kirk Cousins had a big game to help Washington keep pace in the NFC East. Which other players helped their teams the most in Week 11?

Running Back: Le'Veon Bell

Le'Veon Bell, RB, Pittsburgh Steelers
28 Rushes, 146 Yards, 1 Touchdown
8 Receptions, 55 Yards, 9 Targets
Performance: 100, NEP: +10.91

In another one of this week's windy games, the Steelers relied on their star running back to shoulder the load. Bell did not disappoint, finishing with a whopping 28 carries for 146 yards and a score. He also added 8 receptions for 55 yards on 9 targets, providing an incredibly astounding performance -- even for him.

The Cleveland Browns were unable to come up with many ways to stop Bell this week. Just 2 of Bell's 28 carries went for no gain, and he didn't lose yardage on a single carry. Bell set a career high in touches this week (36) and finished with 201 total yards. His rushing and receiving floor make him a viable threat to finish as the most productive running back every single week. Only David Johnson and Ezekiel Elliott have a higher Total NEP than Bell, but those running backs have each played three more games than Bell.

Bell finished as the overall RB2 this week in PPR scoring formats and has been absolutely fantastic since his Week 3 return. In seven games, Bell has finished as a top-12 fantasy running back six different times and a top-6 running back four times.
