— -- Not as far as you'd think.

That's the answer I'm giving to folks who are asking me this simple question: How far does Le'Veon Bell drop in your rankings?

The Pittsburgh Steelers running back and fantasy superstar is facing a four-game suspension for a violation of the NFL's drug policy, according to sources (as reported by ESPN's Dan Graziano).

The reports are that the violation is for a missed drug test, not a failed one, and an appeal is underway, which is why it hasn't been announced officially by the league. That means it could go away, it could be reduced or, yes, he could miss the first four games of the season.
