— Andy Vasquez (@andy_vasquez) August 1, 2019When Bell was asked where to pick him in fantasy leagues this year, the answer was simple.
"First."
After more than 18 months away, there will still be some fantasy football fans that might shy away from drafting Bell that early in their leagues. Prior to last season though, Bell was arguably the best RB in the NFL. He ran for 1,291 yards and had 655 receiving yards to go along with 11 total touchdowns in 2017.
