Positives - Speed and big play ability. Bell has top five fantasy running back potential. The Denver system has been a haven for stud RBs year after year. Denver’s passing game has plenty of weapons to open up the field for Bell to find space to utilize his speed.

Negatives - Mike Shanahan is his coach. Of course Mike Shanahan could be an issue. Did I mention Mike Shanahan? Griffin, Anderson, Dayne, Clarett, and likely some other RB we haven’t heard of.

Draft Strategy - You’re not going to win a league with this play all, best record format without hitting some homeruns. Bell is the poster boy of fantasy homerun swings this year. I really felt like someone with his potential was a steal in the 3rd round. By selecting Bell as my third RB, I felt comfortable that I was virtually set at RB and even had a solid flex play in my holster. I wasn’t the least bit tempted to select a WR here as I had several top ten WR candidates buried down the FBG ranking list.
