I've seen plenty of people talk about CEH's lack of efficiency inside the 5 (7 carries, -3 yards, 0 TDs). Can/will Le'Veon Bell be better in this regard? I figured I'd check.

During Bell's last year in PIT, he had 58 carries in the red zone (73.4% of team's attempts). He turned that into 163 yards and 9 TDs.

Inside the 5? 6 carries (46.2% of team's attempts) and scored on each carry.

PIT's line that year had a run block grade of 75.7, 7th in NFL.

Fast forward to 2019 with NYJ, Bell saw only 19 carries in the red zone (59.4% of team's attempts). He turned that into 44 yards and 3 TDs.

Inside the 5? 5 carries (71.4% of team's attempts) and scored 3 times.

NYJ's line last year had a run block grade of 47.1, 30th in NFL.

KC has only 9 rushing attempts inside the 5 this season. CEH has 7 of them. Patrick Mahomes has the other 2.

Mahomes has scored on both his carries.

KC's line currently has a PFF run blocking grade of 18th in the NFL.

CEH will likely still have a role as a receiver and have 55%+ of the carries, but you can't convince me Bell won't be their short yardage/goal line back, which drastically caps CEH's ceiling in redraft this year.
