FFL Question: Is it time to give up on Tatum Bell?

[canadianpsycho]

Here's my lineup (4pts per passing TD, point per reception, 1 point per 20 rush/receive yard, 1 point per 40 yards passing):

Hasselbeck, Matt QB SEA
McAllister, Deuce RB NO
Shipp, Marcel RB ARI
Houshmandzadeh, T.J. WR CIN
Ward, Hines WR PIT
Gates, Antonio TE SD
Akers, David K PHI
Steelers, DST DST PIT
Brooks, Aaron QB NO
Bell, Tatum RB DEN
Jones, Kevin RB DET
Battle, Arnaz WR SF
Colbert, Keary WR CAR
Witten, Jason TE DAL

I want to take a flier on K-Rob... Who would you drop? I'm thinking Bell, as Colbert and Whitten are bound to bounce back. Shipp will cover my bye week with Kevin Jones. Only other option is to drop Brooks, who just had a decent game, however he plays in a tough division and there's always a QB or two on the wiver wire for when Hasselbeck has a bad matchup/bye.

I'm just sick of keeping young RBs on my bench and hoping they pan out - got stuckwith Steven Jackson last year, and if not for Jones' strong finish he would have sat on the pine too.

Any advice?

Always give up on a OSU Cowboy.

I'm dealing with that same question. I also have Shaun Alexander and Willie Parker. Should Willie drop back from 1st string, I'll need someone to replace him and right now only have Tatum Bell on my squad.

I'm holding on to Bell for now, I wanna see if he's really hurt. I think he's the most talented of the Denver backs, but if he's stuck in the #3 spot, that's pretty bad.

It would kill me to drop him and have him suddenly get the job and start tearing it up.

I don't see him getting the job unless Anderson gets hurt.

Methought this was going to be about guns.

That's what I'm worried about... I dropped Mewelde Moore last year just before he had that string of awesome games.

I'm thinking maybe Brooks, Bell, Battle, Whitten or Colbert.

Whitten is a huge bust so far, and now Parcells isn't calling the plays... Last two games Whittens been blocking more then running routes.

Bell is currently #3, and getting outplayed by stupid Ron Dayne

Battle had a great 1st game, and he's playing in quite possibly the worst division in the NFL as far as Defense is concerned... But he's also on quite possibly the worst team in the NFL.

Brooks may not be a ProBowler anymore, but he's at least consistant... But I don't plan on sitting Hasselbeck at all, especially considering he did well against the Jags and Falcons Ds

Colbert is the biggest question, he was supposed to be my "Sleeper" pick. He has done absolutely nothing so far.

Maybe I'll just drop Battle.
