Without checking, I'd bet most Zealots leagues have between 75-100 RBs rostered - you can't find 'em on the side of the road, that's for sure. The bidding would have to go awful high to surprise me on this one.
He's up to $4K in Z18. Keep in mind, though, that values vary wildly in Zealots from league to league - depending on the makeup of the owners, roster dynamics, etc....Look on the bright side: he won't go for over $5K in your league
You'll be fine. Spend as much as you want. Every week you get more money depending on your record. If you do spend alot all it means is that you'll have to sit out when the next "Mike Bell" comes along. I haven't ever seen any Zealot team sitting and wishing they had a few hundred more dollars to bid on some players with.
And even if you do, it is pretty easy to trade a backup for a couple hundred.
In order to stay ahead for the future, I think you should place a bid on all undrafted free agent RBs in case it happens again
The Titans got him in that league for 50 ZBucks in June. The other 11 guys in that league missed the boat on that one.
Ha ha. What a geek I am. I meant Z32. This explains why my team is in the crapper.The Titans got him in that league for 50 ZBucks in June. The other 11 guys in that league missed the boat on that one.

Meh, at the time he was 4th string and fighting for a roster spot. Why would we know to pick him up at the time instead of other longshots? I got Noah Herron for 50 zbucks - there are just too many 4th string guys out there and not enough roster spots for people to be fighting over all of them.Slinger said:The Titans got him in that league for 50 ZBucks in June.

I did the same thing however I had to post it on the message board because I am not a commish and I think it took a long time before the bid actualy began.People did not start bidding him up until more recently. I have no way of knowing if 48 hours actualy passed from my post time on the message board and when the next bid went out on him. But in any case Bell is now at 6050 Zbucks from a team who was pretty late to the party. And that price is out of my reach.I'm actually quite pissed about this one. I'm a Vice in one of the Zealots so I created him and put a $50 bid on him a little more than a week ago. I have been paying attention to Cecils comments on him and thought it would be worth a shot. Once you put a bid on a guy you have to wait 48 hours before he's yours. And with less than 2 hours to go someone bumped him to $100 but I thought it was no big deal because Bell was still an unknown. I put Bell up to $200 and again was a couple hours away from winning him when Shannahan announced that Bell was going to be the starter. Needless to say I'm a little dissapointed I won't be able to get him (especially for so cheap) cause now he's up around 2500.
That's a lot losing
thats my bid...the reason i can bid so much is b/c of this though...RB Najeh Davenport (GB) - Won by Bears for $13,250 - Cowboys Don't Match - Processedfor some reson zbucks havent helped me much over the years...maybe bell will...if not...id rather have him then that turd davenport anyday...
That's just nuts IMHO.
Now we have to see if he keeps the job!
He was actually drafted in both Z35 and Z38 rook drafts.
