Is it cheap to start the Fallers section with the same guy who kicked it off in Week 1? This is a quick one, because guys like the aforementioned David Johnson and Matt Jones really look more worthy of a roster spot than Joique Bell does.
Bell missing much of training camp might point to him being more “eased in” rather than being outright “played out”, but no matter the rationale, the latter appears to be happening. Joique Bell had four rushes for all of two yards, and two receptions for 16 yards. You can find much better out there, and while the Lions should do better on the ground moving forward, Ameer Abdullah was the leader in carries for the second week in a row and easily looks like a stud RB in the making.
There’s no reason for Detroit to give Bell enough carries to be worthy of a fantasy start, and you can do better with that roster spot. Don’t buy low. Don’t dream of last year. Move on.
