Pittsburgh Tribune-Review

While LeVeon Bell will start, LeGarrette Blount is certain what his role is going to be. And it's not likely to change from quarter to quarter — even if the Steelers and offensive coordinator Todd Haley are experimenting with him in a variety of ways during these May/June practices.

He's lined up multiple times with Bell in an old-style, two-back set and has even been in the slot or flanked outside. What he likes is that he's on the field a lot.

“I know that is going to be locked down, for sure — I know I'm going to run the football here,” Blount said. “All the other stuff is just added on to the pile, and I'm not going to turn it down because I want the ball any chance I get it."

Fantasy Impact:

Blount was more effective as a runner than Bell was in 2013, though that may have something to do his playing in the Patriots offense. He'll serve as Bell's backup and is one of the more talented handcuffs in the league.

Beat: Dri Archer is 'a weapon-in-waiting'

When you watch Steelers RB Dri Archer’s highlights from his college career at Kent State, he looks very fast. When you watch Dri Archer on the field with the Steelers, he looks very fast. Very fast against Kent State’s competition is one thing, but very fast on a field filled with NFL-caliber players stamps Archer as a weapon-in-waiting.

Fantasy Impact:

The Steelers will use Archer's speed to complement LeVeon Bell and LeGarrette Blount, who aren't burners.

Beat: LeGarrette Blount to get 6-8 carries per game

Pittsburgh Post Gazette

Jun 01, 2014 · 3:55 PM EDT

What is most attractive about LeGarrette Blount is his career rushing average -- 4.7 yards per carry -- which, at the very least, makes him a dependable back in short-yardage and goal-line situations. The Steelers signed him to spell Bell and get six to eight carries a game.

Fantasy Impact:

We currently project Blount to see 6.0 carries per game, but his role could grow a bit if he's successful running the ball. The Steelers don't want to wear out LeVeon Bell with a quality backup like Blount on the roster.

Is adding an experienced running back important, given no one on the roster has NFL carries except for LeVeon Bell? “I felt good about (the meeting with free agent Maurice Jones-Drew). We are open to it (adding an experienced back). I’ll stop short of saying ‘have to,’ but we need to add quality depth to that position, whether it’s through free agency or the draft,” Tomlin said. “LeVeon Bell is a talented player but a young player. It would be good to get a been-there, done-that type of guy in the room to maybe help him with growth and development. But I don’t view it as a necessity, quite honestly, because Le’Veon is a very grounded and humble young man and is open to getting better, and is a good listener.”

Fantasy Impact:

It sounds as if the Steelers just want some depth at RB but still view Bell as their bell cow back.
