Arrowheadlines: Le’Veon will be the ‘bell cow’ against the Falcons

Le’Veon Bell

Kansas City Chiefs · RB

Replacing: Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle/hip)

With the rookie expected to miss the rest of the regular season, Bell slides in as the featured bell cow. Bell has just 224 rushing yards and a pair of rushing TDs thus far in eight games with the Chiefs, but his production should see an increase as he fits seamlessly into his expanded role as a runner and pass catcher. The veteran running back is a very instinctive runner, not only behind the line of scrimmage but at the second level, and while he’s better than Edwards-Helaire in this area, the latter is more explosive and, thus, capable of making bigger plays.
