Pittsburgh Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell's conditioning isn't a concern to head coach Mike Tomlin. "We have seen him every day, he has been a part of us, and he has been in the building," Tomlin said. "He is up to speed on what we are doing from a schematic standpoint and really in tune there."

Fantasy Tip: Tomlin had also stated earlier that Bell will play plenty in his first game back from a three-game suspension. With good health and in good physical condition, Bell immediately assumes his position as an RB1, even against a tough Kansas City Chiefs defense.

Pittsburgh Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell can expect to see a heavy workload in his season debut in Week 4 versus the Kansas City Chiefs, according to head coach Mike Tomlin. "Rest assured, you're going to see Le'Veon Bell and a lot of him Sunday," Tomlin said.

Fantasy Tip: This comes as music to the ears of Bell's owners, most of whom invested a late-first or early-second round pick in him despite his three-game suspension. A bit of rust should be expected, but few backs bring the same kind of upside and consistency to the table that Bell does. As such, owners should plug him immediately into their lineups and begin the process of handcuffing him to DeAngelo Williams if they haven't done so already.

Pittsburgh Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell will return from his three-game suspension in Week 4.

Fantasy Tip: Bell will face a tough Kansas City Chiefs defense in his season debut. He'll be a low-end RB1, but rust to a certain degree should be expected.

Pittsburgh Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell (knee) said his knee felt good during the preseason game against the New Orleans Saints Friday, Aug. 26, and expects to feel even better after his three-game suspension.

Fantasy Tip: Bell's fantasy value does take a small hit because of the suspension, but he should still be a No. 1 running back in all fantasy leagues. Bell probably will be selected in the first or second round in most drafts.

Pittsburgh Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell had three carries for 21 yards and caught all five of his targets for 37 yards against the New Orleans Saints Friday, Aug. 26.

Fantasy Tip: His three-game suspension takes him out of the mix for the top pick, but his ceiling is so high, particularly in PPR formats, he is still worth selecting in the second round.

Pittsburgh Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell (knee) will play in the preseason game against the New Orleans Saints Friday, Aug. 26, according to head coach Mike Tomlin.

Fantasy Tip: Bell will miss the first three games of the season because of his suspension, so he will need some playing time during the preseason. The suspension does hurt his value, but he should still be considered a No. 1 running back in most leagues and will be selected in one of the first two or three rounds of drafts.

Pittsburgh Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell's suspension has been reduced to three games, according to sources.

Fantasy Tip: Bell will now be eligible to play in Week 4, which will help his fantasy value. He should be considered a No. 1 running back in all fantasy leagues and will be selected in one of the first two or three rounds.

Updating a previous report, Pittsburgh Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell says no hearing date has been scheduled for the appeal of his four-game suspension.

Fantasy Tip: It would be nice to know something sooner than later, but the smart bet is he will not win the appeal, and you should downgrade him to about Round 3 or Round 4 in PPR drafts.

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger, RB Le'Veon Bell, RB DeAngelo Williams and WR Antonio Brown won't play in the second preseason game Thursday, Aug. 18.

Fantasy Tip: Bell, Brown and Big Ben are all amidst the first pack in fantasy at their respective positions. D-Will is an RB3 as he'll take a backseat when Bell returns from his suspension.

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger, RB Le'Veon Bell, RB DeAngelo Williams, WR Antonio Brown and C Maurkice Pouncey will not play in the preseason game against the Detroit Lions Friday, Aug. 12.

Fantasy Tip: All of the players will be rested and should play in the next few preseason games. Brown likely will be one of the first players selected in drafts, while Bell probably will be a No. 1 running back once he returns from his suspension. Roethlisberger should also be a No. 1 quarterback in most fantasy leagues. Williams will have increased value over the first month of the season with Bell out but should also be a flex option when Bell returns.
