Sitting him until he finishes a game and finishes it well.

He's on my bench and barring a miracle he may never get back in my starting lineup again. I think the only hope for Bell is to sit for 3-4 weeks and hope that the rest can provide some help. It's obvious taking the one game off didn't do any good. He looked just as bad against the Raiders as he did against the Colts.
I think the better question may be for Tatum Bell owners in re-draft leagues, are you reaching the point where you may cut him soon? If things don't change and he doesn't show anything more than he's shown in his last two games he'll be nothing more than dead weight and cutting him then would become a very viable option in a lot of leagues.

Pretty much. I'm sitting him for Rhodes this week. That's how sad it's become.

I have him in 3 leagues
Sitting him in all
League 1 - 12 team PPR: Sitting him for either Dunn or A Train w/Westy
League 2 - 10 team yardage: Sitting him for FWP and SA
League 3 - 8 team TD heavy: Probably start Gore and Edge

Bell was upgraded to probable today for what it's worth.

He may play, but I don't trust Skeletor. I'm taking my chances with L Betts.

It would be a huge shock if he didn't play after being upgraded tonight. But I'm not going anywhere near him. He has to show that he can be effective before he gets back in my starting lineup.

I got sucked in last week (luckily I still won), but won't be this time. Until I see a good week out of him, I think he's earned a spot on my bench 
. As of now I'm starting MJD and Alexander, if I hear early enough that Alexander won't play, T.Henry will get the nod.

No way I'm touching Bell, probably done with him for the season. Might possibly miss a big game from him in the coming weeks, but he is just way too inconsistent to take a chance on anymore until something changes. I was lucky enough to snag Anthony Thomas who will hopefully get me through the season in Tatum's place.

I can't think of too many weeks where I'd start a healthy Tatum Bell over any of those guys this season. That's some sick RB depth you have.

Hangs out with Oscar Zeta Acosta
Sitting him for M J-D.
Wish the team would sit him, too. They have another game in four days. Two games in five days = serious pain for turf toe. And then the team has 10 days before another game - this is a great opp to get Tatum two weeks of complete rest, which I understand is the only way to get over turf toe.

Same here, but I am hoping that he shows something this week.

Other: Traded him
Gave: Tatum and Rex Grossman
Got: Drew Brees
Picked Up: Reche Caldwell
The other owner also had Peyton Manning, but was forced to start Cedric Benson and Ladell Betts at RB. He doesn't have Tatum in his lineup right now, so he looks to be benching him in favor of those two bums. Why he's starting Benson I don't know.

I'm starting Bell....not because I feel good about it but I have nobody else to put in there.....Damn,I hate the way this has turned out for Tatum as I really thought a few weeks ago that he was going to be a STUD this year

Sitting him on this end. Was fortunate to pick up A-Train two weeks ago, so he'll be starting in the flex for me over Tatum. I was hoping to ride A-Train until they gave Tatum a chance to get healthy, but it doesn't look like they're going to give him that chance.
