Fantasy Football Running Backs: Top 15 To Target In 2015

55. 2014 Stats: 290 carries, 1363 yards, 11 touchdowns. RB. Pittsburgh Steelers. Le'Veon Bell. 4. player
Le’Veon Bell would probably be the number one overall running back on my list this year, but he has been suspended for the first three games of the NFL season due to some off the field issues he ran into while with ex-teammate LeGarrette Blount.
After the first three games where Bell will be unable to play, he should turn into one of, if not the best fantasy running back available.
Other than that, I think Bell might be the best back and overall player available this year. Blount really progressed in his second season and developed a game that is the perfect combination of power and speed. He can also catch the ball as well, making him a fantasy owner’s dream.
Steelers quarterback Ben Roethisberger was very aware that he needs to get Bell the ball when he can and he sure does. Bell is probably Roethisberger’s second favorite target after wide out Antonio Brown who emerged into one of the best receivers in the league last year.
After the first three games where Bell will be unable to play, he should turn into one of, if not the best fantasy running back available.
I would still draft him in the top-five at least in all leagues, just make sure to draft some other backs to fill in while he’s gone in the later rounds.
