Le’Veon Bell Speaks On Fantasy Football, Says He Should Be Drafted First

Earlier this week, New York Jets running back Le’Veon Bell took to social media to issue a formal apology to all of the fantasy football players that he let down in 2018. He also encouraged those same owners to draft him ahead of the 2019 season – and he reiterated that stance on Thursday.

Bell’s post from earlier this week reads:

“this is loooong overdue!! but I want to take a moment to apologize to all the fantasy owners who picked me last year, I’m sorry I couldn’t pull through for y’all…but trust me, this year’s about to be wayyyy different, I’m bringing the 🏆🏆 this year 😈😈”

Speaking with the media at practice on Thursday, Bell addressed the fantasy football community again.

“A lot of people picked me not even knowing if I was coming back and things like that, but that’s what I was really sorry about. Not ’cause I sat out, but I’m sorry about not being able to communicate with the fans that I’m not playing. A lot of people feel like they wasted their money and things like that – that’s what I apologized for. So, I’m sorry again.”

When asked about where he should be drafted, Bell quickly responded, “First.”
