One. That's how many players are ahead of former Michigan State running back Le'Veon Bell on NFL.com's ranking of the top 150 fantasy players for 2015, released Monday.

Bell, fresh off a breakout season that culminated in AFC Offensive Player of the Year honors, trails just Minnesota running back Adrian Peterson on the preseason list.

The former Michigan State workhorse ran for 1,361 yards and eight touchdowns, to go along with a staggering 83 receptions for 854 yards and three more touchdowns, in 2014.

Bell is suspended for the first three games of the season for violating the league?s substance abuse policy, but he's hoping to have the suspension reduced.

With his pass-catching ability, don't be surprised if Bell, not Peterson, is the first player taken in your draft.
