Le'Veon Bell is set to play another season under the franchise tag, according to ESPN. Bell and the Steelers are not expected to reach an agreement on a long-term contract extension. (Jeremy Fowler on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
This isn't unexpected, as the Steelers have been hesitant to meet Bell's asking price. As a result, the top fantasy running back will again be playing in a contract year. This should only benefit him in 2018, as he's returning to a familiar offense where he fills a huge role, both in the receiving and rushing games. However, his dynasty status remains murky given the unknown of where Bell will be playing beyond 2018.
