Fantasy Football picks: Five bounce back players for Week 9

Le’Veon Bell – Speaking of being ready to get hurt again, I am a little bit shocked that I am going right back to this play, after several bad games in a row, but that is what this article is all about. Bell has been a major disappointment in the world of fantasy sports, and every week it just feels like he should be doing so much better than what he actually is. He is logging over 90% of the offensive snaps, but last game he only saw a total of nine rushing attempts. He has a total of two touchdowns during this entire season and has not eclipsed the century mark in yardage in any game yet. This is obviously the worst season of his career, which is not a giant surprise considering he went from playing with Pittsburgh to now playing with New York.

Luckily for Bell, this is about as good of a spot as any player could ever ask for. Miami gives up the third-most points at the running back position, ranking dead last in DVOA against the rush. This is a dream spot for him, and honestly, it is possible he may still not get it figured out. This is a very bad offense, that has struggled all season long. The game script should be in his favor though, as you expect Miami to be playing from behind each and every week. Either way, Bell is a great play and if he doesn’t produce here, it might finally be time to hang it up.
