Balzac Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 This guy has hosed me enough over the last few weeks that he seriously owes me one. I plan on starting him with confidence against the weak TEN D - he could save my arse with a big game, as I face a team with ridiculous matchups next week. If he doesn't deliver, I may have my dog crap on his yard a dozen times and then burn down his house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantsfan Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Bell (shoulder) played through pain Sunday against the Chiefs, and if he's healthy for Week 16, he'll start against the Titans over Reuben Droughns, the Denver Post reports. "If that's the case, I understand it," said Droughns. "It's not like I'm not used to seeing someone else get most of the carries. I'll still get my carries if that's the case. Tatum ran well and impressed me by playing in pain." Patient Bell owners will be elated to know they have an early Christmas present, and the rookie couldn't pick a better time to finally emerge. Owners could potentially use the big-play rookie in what is the most important week of the season for a majority of leagues that have their championship game in Week 16. We'll keep a very close eye on Bell's health this week. I am in my SB and may start Bell over Portis. That is the tough question I'll have to wrestle with ALL week.

Ursa Majoris Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Thank God. If this is true, it may well save my a$$ just when my all-star team is falling apart. At least it gives me a third RB option when I was down to my last two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balzac Posted December 20, 2004 Author Share Posted December 20, 2004 I'm playing both he and Jake in my playoff matchup - could be a very nice or a very annoying Christmas night, depending on which Jake shows up. I'm hoping that Bell will have a calming effect on the offense as a whole and that they'll produce like crazy - who am I kidding? I'm screwed w/ Plummer at QB.

As I was reading your post I said to myself with Plummer at QB you may be in trouble then you said it. If he was bad at KC yesterday I'd be nervous at Tenn as well.

If he was bad at KC yesterday I'd be nervous at Tenn as well. 622522[/snapback] It's either he or Brady and, given the strength of the team that I'm playing against (LT and Gates alone against IND scare me crapless), Brady's 200 yds and 1-2 TDs probably won't get it done. I'll need a big game out of the DEN O in order to stand a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolv Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Thats good news - I snapped him up in all my leagues. Altho Taylor had a huge game for me this week, a Dillon/Bell tandem next week sounds like a good lineup for the championship game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddogs2020 Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 I just picked him up to keep my opponent (McGahee owner) from using him against me in the Superbowl. DEFENSE...DEFENSE...DEFENSE... Then again, maybe I sit Ahman (again) and throw Tatum in the line-up...decisions...decisions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egret Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 He could be a nice replacement for Tiki. I've been losing points ever since Eli took over the helm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBoog Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 I thought you were talking about a come back attempt for a fill-in spot in the Jaguars secondary! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
