Dri Archer can play the Shane Vereen role and Blount is now a member of the Steelers after scoring 7 TDs for the Patriots (4 in last 2 weeks) in 2013.
Ridley saw 178 carries (just 2 games with 20+), rushed for 773 yards (one 100 yard game) and scored 7 TDs...is that what we should expect to see from Bell in 2014, with a bit more receptions (Ridley had 10)?
I understand that Ridley lost time due to fumbles, but could we see a similar stat production from Bell in 2014?
Bell averaged 18 carries a game last season and it was not until Week 16 that he rushed for 100 yards, doing it against the Green Bay Packers on a season high 26 carries. He did finish the season strong, gaining 405 yards over the Steelers last 5 games on 101 carries, good enough for 4 YPC, and scored 4 touchdowns.
LeSean McCoy, Ryan Mathews, DeMarco Murray , Matt Forte, and C.J. Spiller were the only other RBs to rush for 400+ yards during that span. Blount, Murray, Steven Jackson, and Eddie Lacy were the only RBs to score 5 times. 5 other RBs scored 4 TDs.
Le'Veon Bell was a Top 10 RB to finish the fantasy football season.

I think Bell blows past those Ridley numbers. I think he gets ~250 touches, 1250 yards and 8-10 TDs. Archer is not going to get more than about 5-6 offensive touches per game on average.
It's not whether you win or lose, it's how good you look playing the game
