I agree with your upside/value comparison.
Dunn is the outright starter and will have more immediate impact on a FF team, especially in PPR leagues, but he is 31 and his upside for dynasty leagues is pretty skinny because of durability concerns. The others still have 5+ years of respectable FF dynasty value, barring any future trades or RBBC's.

Hey relic, who'd you pick up in the first two rounds? That could help with deciding.

Not sure why everyone loves parker so much? He had 3 great games last year.... but
He also had TEN games last year with less than 3.5YPC !!!!!

I personally would rather have Dayne even with his warts and blemishes. IMO, Denver has gone out of its way to NOT make Bell the primary back. That is plenty enough reason to be concerned about his upside IMO.
A whole lotta risk with the kid, but for pure upside, he's hard to beat.

Even if I completely agree, the question is "upside". I read that as "pure upside" not "likely upside" or "value".I personally would rather have Dayne even with his warts and blemishes.

Well, if you make me pick:1. Bell -- Denver upside $$$ if Bell the back (but who ever knows?!)
2. Parker -- Staley and others lurking, but Steelers run ball >55% plays
3. Dunn -- Last year crazy... if Ducket wasn't around vulturing TDs, Dunn has ridiculous fantasy numbers. Here's hoping Duckett gets shipped through a miracle or perhaps sidelined for a few games
4. Lewis -- Maybe Air McNair does somethign here... but yuck.
5. Benson -- Thomas Jones... end of story. Clearly Benson gets more touches this year... but not enough.

I guess the question here is what do we call upsaide? IMO, Dayne starts, Bell is the CoP back in Denver. If Dayne completley fails or gets hurt . . . then IMO Cobbs takes over. Shanahan has made it pretty clear (to me anyway) that Bell is not considered a workhorse back and will not see a ton of carries unless they have no other options.So sure, count me in if the worst case scenario happens and there are no other options and Bell gets 450 touches and 30 combined TD, becuase "technically" that "could" happen (well, at least in Madden it could).Even if I completely agree, the question is "upside".

But I generally reside on Planet Earth, and in my universe I think that that is pretty unlikely.

Shanny knows best, but Dayne hasn't shown any reason yet for us to think he can handle the load. Shanny has done well with project backs, maybe Dayne is the next one. My upside for Bell consists of Dayne failing.

In a 12-team dynasty draft, I think you'd have to consider what sort of team you are building, a win now team... or a team with its eyes more on next year and the following season.
If you want to win this season, I think Parker is the choice. Youth and opportunity in Pitt. If you can wait until next year, Benson is right up there. He should get a huge opportunity in Chi to be their grind it out RB.
If it weren't a dynasty league, Dunn would be my choice though... but I really feel this could be his last majorly productive year (and I own him in one dynasty league).

I agree entirely. Lewis wouldn't be on my radar in the third regardless of format or goal. Neither would Tater, cause if Shanahan isn't sold on him, I'm not going to risk that high a pick.In a redraft, I'd probably go with Dunn, but in a dynasty, no way.
Benson may have the highest long-term upside, but FWP is solid now, and his long-term upside is nearly as good. My vote's for Willie, with Benson close behind.
Agreed. The "upside" for Bell is workhorse RB in Denver. Historically, "workhorse RB in Denver" is a near-mortal lock for 1900+ yards and 15+ TDs if he plays the full season. So there you go- Bell's "upside" is a top-5 VBD finish.

No, that's plenty of reason to be concerned about his ability to REACH his upside.
All talk of HYPOTHETICAL upside aside... the thing standing between Tatum Bell and the workhorse role isn't Ron Dayne... it's Tatum Bell. If Tatum Bell had shown enough that Shanny believed he could handle it, he would be the workhorse, end of discussion. If he hasn't shown enough to convince Shanny he can handle it, he will always have another back keeping him fresh, end of discussion.
