Joique Bell (1 Viewer)

[humpback]

I was hoping that Bell would be used if the Lions got a lead in the second half. That didn't happen.

Man of Zen is completely wrong; this is a very talented guy. But unless Reggie Bush goes down, Bell is simply not worth starting unless you're in a very deep league. Just not enough touches.

If you're comparing him against you or I, yes, he's a very talented guy. If you're comparing him against the better RBs in the NFL, he's not.

FIRST ROUND PICK!

If you have the option in a PPR who do you take going forward, Joique or Woodhead?

If you have the option in a PPR who do you take going forward, Joique or Woodhead?

Woodhead. He has a startable role regardless of any other RB on the roster.

I think a more interesting question might be, who is a more important handcuff in redraft: Joique Bell, Ben Tate, Or Bryce Brown?

Id have to think Bell and Tate are 1a and 1b and Brown being 3rd

I think you could say the same about Bell, that he's startable regardless of any other RB on the roster.

To me it's an easy call here and for Bell. Better offense and he's looks like the main goal line back.

Between all of these backs it really depends what you are looking to get out of your back.

If you need a guy to start now it's Woodhead and Bell and in that regard I have them as about even.

You want to roster a high upside homerun if the starter goes down than I think Tate leads that field followed by Bell, Brown and Woodhead in that order.

I don't think Bush and Matthews are in the same class IMO. When Reggie is healthy he's an easy RB1 (PPR) regardless of the match-up. Matthews is a RB2 against the Jags.

It seemed as though you were implying they were with your follow-up to ConnSKINS26's comment....

Rotoworld:

Joique Bell (ribs) says he's in "a lot" of pain.
Bell is listed as questionable on the injury report. He said he feels "good" and has improved "a lot," but plenty of pain and discomfort remains. If active on Sunday, Bell is fully expected to be limited. He's not a flex option this week.

oooh baby....due to a rash of injuries and bye weeks I am forced to put in Joique and Ellington and now all the sudden they may not be horrendous starts.

Any word on how Bell looked last week with the rib issue? did it seem to impact his productivity?

Just saw on Rotoworld that Bell isn't listed on the injury report this week. So he should be 100%.

Not listed on injury report Wednesday or Thursday - seems likely he's just resting his leg, no reason to think Reggie won't see 20+ touches for the 4th time in 5 weeks.

That's usually the most concerning type of injury. When someone isn't hurt at all on Wednesday and Thursday then all of a sudden Friday is seeing walking gingerly with a gimp and has a icepack strapped to right above the knee? Usually that means he got hurt during the tail end of practice on Thursday and nothing was reported.

OK

"Detroit Lions running back Reggie Bush sat out practice today, apparently with a leg injury.

Bush walked slowly through the back of the end zone during stretching and had a wrap on his right leg."

 

[Leonidas]

That doesn't sound very good for Bush.

But it sure would help me out if Bush rested on Sunday.

 

[steveski]

As far as dynasty purposes go, what do you guys think as far as Bell? I believe he's a restricted FA next year. Do they let him walk or do the Lions pay up to keep him? He's shown he can be a starting RB on a lot of teams in the NFL. He's a perfect compliment to Bush though so I'd imagine the Lions would love to keep him. Trying to gauge how strong of an offer I should be making to the Bell owner (I'm a Bush owner).

I think he fits their offense really well and don't really see him as a feature role back nor do I think he'd get a shot from someone. I imagine he'll get good backup money and stay with the Lions.

Looked good again today. Will be very interesting to see how Detroit handles Bell this offseason.

 

[BigBlue_RI]

I can't figure this guys role. 2 weeks ago I chose wrong and rolled with TRich. I start him last week and he gets me a point. Sit him this week and I'll regret it esp with Burleson's dud today.

I think Bell could be adequate as a starter, but he's already 27, so I doubt anyone's going to offer huge money. Plus he grew up in Michigan and went to college in Detroit, so if the money and opportunity are all the same he'll want to stay with the Lions.

Agree with the hometown discount, but the idea that 27 is old, exists only among Dynasty players.

 

[dickey moe]

He's the ultimate boom-bust RB. Seems like every week I start him he scores 2 FF pts, and when he's on the bench he scores 20+. Maybe good in the Flex spot but not a RB you can rely on every week. Despite that, he's a top 20 RB this season. Frustrating to say the least.

 

[BigBlue_RI]

I think I'm gonna say F It next week and play him for my playoffs. It's not like I have any #2 backs to write home about for my lineup.

Joique's skill set should work well in virtually every game plan. Bush seems to be the guy who could assume a lesser role if there is a need to pound the ball more.

I would expect Bell to get more work in poor weather or potentially low scoring games. However, in catch-up mode, I'd expect Bush to get more snaps and receptions.

Rotoworld:

Joique Bell (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

Bell battled the knee "injury" last week before being listed as probable and getting 15 carries in the win over the Packers. Unfortunately, Bell has been pretty underwhelming through three games. He's averaging 3.0 YPC on 40 totes and has fumbled twice, losing one. Bell's a FLEX option this week against the Jets.

[jbz]

Gimpy and facing the Jets run D? Ugh, wish I didn't have to start him but I got no choice with injuries and byes. I wonder if the knee has zapped some of his burst. He looks a bit plodding out there compared to last year.

I haven't been super impressed but he's not getting a lack of touches. Per game he's getting more touches than last year (15.5 vs 13.6).

I decided 6 shares of him were too much so I did flip him in one league (+ Marshall) for AJ Green and Ivory.

FBG has Joique rated 23rd overall in standard leagues going forward. That's a tad high for me but the points will come with those touches. He's getting all the 3rd down and goal-line looks.

 

[CentralPA]

Benching him in PPR for Khiry Robinson. Don't feel good about it but he just isn't producing like he was last year.

 

[93_Confirmed]

I loved Bell coming into the season but man, it's been a clunker. I'm benching him for Asiata this week.

 

[MattFancy]

Benching him in PPR for Khiry Robinson. Don't feel good about it but he just isn't producing like he was last year.

It's weird because I believe he's out touched Bush so fat this year too, hasn't he? I still have faith in Joquie, but he has had some tough matchups. Giants, Panthers, Packers and now Jets. Was disappointed last week since I was expecting a high scoring game, but it looked like the entire offense was off. Not expecting much from the run game this week against the Jets.

 

[Darryl Talley]

Still like him this week (don't have much of a choice). Easy to throw on the Jets and hopefully that means he'll have some GL opps.

 

[Fat Nick]

I loved Bell coming into the season but man, it's been a clunker. I'm benching him for Asiata this week.

Same here...I'm keeping him for now, basically hoping Bush goes down. At least I KNOW Asiata will see the bulk of the carries and GL work.

Would you start him over Starks? (Ac alert)

Would you start him over Starks? (Ac alert)

Yes - I don't see Starks sniffing anywhere around 10 carries while Bell should definitely break that barrier if he's game-ready. I also don't see Starks being involved in the passing game like Bell might (if you are in PPR).

I'm benching Joique for DeAngelo Williams - Joique is way more talented, but I'll take the opportunity of 20+ carries over another middling showing by Bell.

I don't think those are terribly tough matchups particularly the Pack and Giants but the Panthers just got torched on the ground last week too.

 

[fantasycurse42]

I was so excited to get him in the 6th round of a PPR league, now I feel like the fish
