DraftKings NFL Christmas Lineup: Optimal Picks for Sunday’s Games

RB: Le'Veon Bell, Pittsburgh Steelers


Opponent: vs. Baltimore Ravens


Price: $9,400


Though people sometimes think otherwise, going with a QB and RB from the same team is a perfectly fine strategy--and that's especially the case when the running back is also basically a wide receiver. In addition to his monstrous running numbers, Bell is averaging an absurd 8.18 targets, 6.55 receptions and 54.64 receiving yards per game, and against a Ravens defense that ranks first in Football Outsiders' run defense efficiency, I expect him to be even more busy in the passing game. Ultimately, with basically four running backs to choose from (five or six if you want to get involved in the Denver mess), fading Bell is extremely dangerous. (Getty)
