I'm going against 1 team that currently has him in the starting line up.
Who are you benching?I am said Outlaw with said stones. Gambling week 1 is normally a no-no for me but this gamble seems sound. He was a solid back before getting the boot for Denver and now all reports are he's had a fantastic camp.
Ah, this is very interesting to me, C.C.
Who are they benching to stick him in. I suspect Bell will get a lot of starts in leagues that allow you to flex a 3rd RB into the lineup.
Most of use try and draft a couple of starting RBs. Now while Caddy and Mike Bell have been popular late flyers and WW pickups will you actually have the stones to bench a Larry Johnson or a Jamal Lewis in a traditional start 2 RBs lineup?
So is this a start 3 RB situation for your rival this week, CC?
Hydrocarbons/mudloggerone has currently bumped Bell ahead of McFaddie/Parker/Hightower. His other starting RB is Kevin Smith.

Thomas likely out for Sunday
The News
Saints beat writer Jeff Duncan reports via Twitter that he would rule running back Pierre Thomas "out" for Sunday's game against the Lions.
Our View
The official word will come later today, but Thomas did not dress for practice and has been dealing with a sprained MCL. With all signs pointing to him being out, Reggie Bush and Mike Bell will likely split the carries against a miserable Lions run defense. Both should be employed in starting lineups for Week 1.
Thomas out for Week 1
New Orleans Saints RB Pierre Thomas (knee) did not participate in practice Friday, Sept. 11, and has been ruled out for the team's Week 1 game.
