Bell has a juicy matchup against a San Diego run defense that hasn't stopped anyone all season. Some people may be concerned that opposing defenses will be able to load the box without much of a passing threat within the Steelers offense (Roethlisberger out). However, Bell pretty much debunked that notion...

I love the Yeldon call, and the decision between Bell and Charles is a tough one on each site, even with the salary considerations you note. I like both backs, but I love the fact Football Outsiders ranks the Chargers just 29th stopping running backs in the passing game. And after watching Duke Johnson torch them as a pass catcher, thoughts of Bell going nuts dance through my head as I type this.

I love Yeldon as well. I am super high on him this week. I know I am spending a lot of budget on two players but I have both Charles and Bell in my lineups. With the value at QB and WR I think it's a smart use of salary.

There are so many options this week, and I agree with Zach here, love going value elsewhere, and taking both Charles and Bell.

I can't fathom myself making an FD cash game team without Bell. He's going to be my workhorse this week, like I imagine he will be for the Steelers.
