DeAngelo Williams, Jordan Todman's Fantasy Outlook After Le'Veon Bell Injury

The worst possible scenario may have played out for the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday after star running back Le'Veon Bell was forced to leave the game and was unable to return, per the team's public relations spokesman, Burt Lauten. It appeared Bell suffered a potentially gruesome knee injury.

For fantasy owners, though, that means DeAngelo Williams will become a high-end RB2 so long as Bell is out injured. Williams rushed for 204 yards and three touchdowns in the two games Bell missed at the beginning of the season due to a suspension and is likely to see the majority of the carries in Pittsburgh's explosive offense.
