Le'Veon Bell Apologizes to Fantasy Football Owners for Steelers Holdout

One year after ruining many fantasy football teams, Le'Veon Bell came forward Monday with an apology.

The three-time Pro Bowler expressed regret in an Instagram post for costing fantasy owners a championship due to his season-long holdout from the Pittsburgh Steelers: "This is loooong overdue!! But I want to take a moment to apologize to all the fantasy owners who picked me last year, I'm sorry I couldn't pull through for y'all...but trust me, this year's about to be wayyyy different, I'm bringing the [championship]."

Even though Bell was in a contract standoff with the Steelers last summer, fantasy players were still betting on him to show up and produce like an elite running back.
