Bell still the No. 1 RB; Elliott on the rise

Le'Veon Bell in many rankings is still the number one RB in the NFL in terms of fantasy. Here is a brief reasons why:

In his last game against Dallas on Nov. 13, he rushed 3.4 yards per rush and rushed 57 yards for one touchdown. In total this season, Bell has 433 yards rushed in 100 attempts.

He fits in super well with a great Steelers offense that is led by Bell, wide reciever Antonio Brown and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Both Brown and Roethlisberger are also very high in many of their rankings for their respective positions on the field.

Although Brown and Roethlisberger aren't number one in their rankings in our personal rankings for their positions, we feel that they fit in really well with the best RB in the NFL right nkw, which is Bell.

Elliott on the rise: Ezekiel Elliott is number four on our RB Rankings for Week 11, and that's because he is proving himself worthy of being an NFL running hack in each game he plays.

He had a stellar ending to the Cowboys' win against the Steelers on Sunday, scoring the game-winni ng touchdown with seconds remaining.

Elliott can soon be the NFL's top RB if he improves.

Week 11 RB Rankings (Top-10)
1. Le'Veon Bell
2. David Johnson
3. DeMarco Murray
4. Ezekiel Elliott
5. LeSean McCoy
6. Spencer Ware
7. LeGarrette Blount
8. Jay Ajayi
9. Jonathan Stewart
10. Lamar Miller

Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell faces four-game suspension

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell is reportedly facing a four-game suspension for a violation of the NFL's drug policy, sources told Dan Graziano of ESPN.

The suspension is the result of a missed drug test, not a failed test.

No date for Bell's appeal has been set, should Bell be suspended.

Bell was suspended for the first three games of 2015, which was later reduced to two games, for a violation of the NFL's substance abuse policy after he was arrested on charges of marijuana possession and DUI in the summer of 2014.
