Fantasy Impact:
Bell, of course, sat out all of the 2017 preseason and appeared ready to do the same ahead of the 2018 campaign. Bell told reporters, "I don't want to have the replications of what happened last year. But if that came down to that, obviously I got to do what I got to do. Take my stand and protect myself. I don't want to have to do that. I want to go to camp and play for the Steelers long term."
