5 NFL Stats to Know Through Week 14
Le'Veon Bell's 49.80 FanDuel Points in Week 14 Are The Most of Any Player This Season
The Pittsburgh Steelers handed Le'Veon Bell the keys to the ship in Week 14, allowing him to run the ball 38 times while also targeting with five passes. In doing so, he became the first running back since 2006 to carry the ball at least 38 times in a single game.
He turned those touches into a combined 298 yards, which -- as our own Tyler Buecher mentioned -- has been topped just twice since 1999. With 236 of those yards coming via rushing attempts, Bell became the first running back since 2012 to rush for more than 235 yards in a game.
With three touchdowns to go with all of those yards, Bell set the the new record for the most FanDuel points in 2016, racking up 49.80 FanDuel points. It is the highest total since Jamaal Charles put up an incredible 55.50 FanDuel points in 2013.
Bell has now topped 130 total yards in each of his past five games. In Week 15, he will take on the Cincinnati Bengals, who gave up 132 yards and a touchdown to his teammate, DeAngelo Williams, earlier this season.
