What It Means:

"I'm going to be ready," Bell promised. "I don't think I'll really get tackled until a preseason game or maybe in the regular season. But cutting, running routes, everything is back to normal." Bell also stated that his knee is "probably stronger than it ever was." There have been no setbacks for Bell since he was cleared for individual drills. The Steelers could rest him the entire preseason, but Bell should easily be ready for Week 1.

Our algorithms peg Bell as the second-best fantasy option at running back in 2016. We project him for 270 carries for 1,197 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns, plus 61 receptions for 412 yards and one touchdown.
