Le'Veon Bell (torn MCL) officially placed on IR

Nov 02, 2015

LeVeon Bell's 2015 season is finished.

The Pittsburgh Steelers placed their star running back on the injured/reserve list, they announced on Monday afternoon.

Bell suffered a reportedly "badly torn" MCL in the second quarter of the Steelers' 16-10 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday when Vontaze Burfict tackled him in front of the Pittsburgh sideline and Bell's right foot caught in the Heinz Field grass.

Fantasy Impact:

The Steelers signed former St. Louis Rams draft pick Isaiah Pead to fill Bell's spot on the 53-man roster. Pead will see time behind DeAngelo Williams along with Will Johnson and Jordan Todman. Williams filled in nicely when Bell was suspended the first two games of the season and becomes a must-add if he's on your waiver wire.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
