Le'Veon Bell, RB, Pittsburgh Steelers

DraftKings Price: $9,800
Projected Points: 25.1

Le'Veon Bell has signed his franchise tender and is ready to tote the rock for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Only 25 years old, Bell is in the prime of his career, and injury appears to be the only thing that can stop him from having another all-around monster season.

He should get it rolling right away as he takes on the Cleveland Browns.

The Browns' defense -- the second-worst defense in the league in 2016, per our schedule-adjusted numbers -- will have their hands full with this Steelers offense. With Martavis Bryant stretching the field, Antonio Brown giving opposing defensive backs nightmares and Bell doing his dual-threat thing, the Steelers should roll.

Pittsburgh has an implied team total of 27.50 points and is favored by 8.0 points on the road. We have Bell projected to rush for 87.8 yards while racking up 47.0 receiving yards, so he should hit the ground running this weekend.
