Report: Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell to report during Week 7 bye

Oct 01, 2018

LeVeon Bell expects to report to the Steelers during the Week 7 bye, a source told @ESPN. Bell definitely plans to play football for the Steelers this season.

Fantasy Impact:

It will be interesting to see if all is forgiven with Bell and his teammates, or if rumors hold true and the Steelers continue to try and trade the back. Reporting in Week 7 gives Bell extra time to get up to speed and means he'll potentially play 10 games this year. At this point, the Steelers are 1-2-1 on the season and it seems like they could use Bell's services if they want to make a playoffs push. For Conner owners, this means two more weeks of getting starter snaps before Bell potentially takes over.

Seahawks ruled out RB Kenneth Walker III for Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

No mention of Charbonnet here, so we can assume he's in a good place to take a massive workload against a Bears defense that ranks 27th in RB aFPA. Fire up Charbs as an RB2.

The Eagles list QB Jalen Hurts as DNP on their estimated practice report because of a concussion, putting his status for this weekend in doubt.

Things aren't trending well for Hurts, as fantasy managers should be looking for a Championship Week back-up as soon as possible.

Steelers WR George Pickens officially Active for Christmas Day

Chiefs Pro-Bowl DT Chris Jones officially is inactive today vs. the Steelers.

Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. officially is inactive, WR George Pickens officially active.

Related Players: Calvin Austin III, Van Jefferson, Mike Williams

Fantasy Impact:

The Steelers WR room looks a little more palatable with Pickens in the lineup, but it's still not enough to push Russell Wilson above deep-league SuperFlex territory. Consider Pickens a WR3 for Week 17.
