Le'Veon Bell A Starting Option Despite Tough Matchup
5 years agoNew York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell will face a tough test on Sunday against a Patriots Defense that is second in the league in allowing only 37 rushing yards per game, and they've only allowed three points through two weeks. The Jets have had a hard time getting the running game going, as Bell has only 128 yards through two games and is averaging just 3.4 yards per carry. Where Bell has thrived, however, is the passing game, as he's made 16 catches on 19 targets so far this season and should continue to be heavily targeted with third-string quarterback Luke Falk making his first career start Sunday. Despite the tough matchup, Bell has a high floor thanks to his role in the passing game and is as sure a bet as any running back to see 20-plus touches, making him a must-start option.
