RB Analysis: Le'Veon Bell and his knee injury

"The 100 Yards" Fantasy Football Report
Le'Veon Bell
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell (knee) said recently that the only thing he hasn’t been cleared for is cutting and sprinting.

There is still no timetable for Bell’s return, 

"I feel like I am going to be a better player at the end of this and that’s what I want,” Bell said. For Bell to say that means thathe is goingto be 100%when he starts playing.

TIP: Bell is arguably the No. 1 fantasy running back when he's fully healthy. His pass-catching ability makes him all the more valuable in PPR leagues. Assuming he makes a full recovery this offseason, Bell should be one of the first players selected in fantasy drafts.

Antonio Andrews signs deal

From USA TODAY.

Antonio Andrews
Tennessee Titans exclusive-rights free-agent RB Antonio Andrews signed a one-year deal Thursday, March 3. Financial terms were not disclosed.

TIP: Andrews eventually became the Titans' No. 1 running back last season ahead of Bishop Sankey and Dexter McCluster while David Cobb was injured. He won't necessarily have that spot back again next season, though, and the Titans could very well implement a running back by committee. Cobb may have more upside out of the four of them, but McCluster has added value in PPR leagues.

Released Arian Foster will have suitors

Arian Foster

Arian Foster was cut by the Houston Texans on Thursday.

Here's some fantasy advice on Foster from USA TODAY Sports.

"TIP: Foster, who will be in his age-30 season in 2016, will no longer be an RB1 for fantasy owners. Wherever he lands next he'll likely share backfield duties as a pass-catcher, but he could be a solid RB3 or better in the right situation. Denver is intriguing because of Foster's familiarity with Gary Kubiak and the zone-blocking scheme, but will the Broncos be able to afford him?"
