Denver RB for Fantasy League

Craztel · 09-03-2006, 07:31 PM

For those of you that may be considering a Denver Broncos RB, as a good fantasy Pick Up, may want to read this. I am quoting from KFFL, that was quoted from the Denver Post......

Quote:

Mike Klis, of the Denver Post, reports the Denver Broncos head into the 2006 with inexperienced RBs Mike Bell and Cedric Cobbs joining RB Tatum Bell in the offensive backfield. "With all due respect to the fantasy football people out there, I don't care who we have back there," Broncos general manager Ted Sundquist said. "Our football team will rush the football. It's who we are."

Did you all catch the line, that I have outlined in bold. It seems that the Broncos Organization, isn't concerned about Fantasy Football scores.....

Imagine that, they are more worried about winning the REAL game, compared to what problems it will cause for Fantasy Games....

i like it...... they go against grains and it works for them. just check out how many 100 yd games and 1000 plus yd
RB's they have had. i eliminate denver right away unless they have portis or terrell davis....which they dont

As a Broncos Fan, I have no problems with the way they are running the ball. What ever it takes to get the job done, I'm happy with it.....

As for using a Denver RB for my Fantasy teams, no matter how bad I want to use one, it just doesn't make sense.........

Wow, I looked at that situation long and hard and thought about taking a gamble, but the risk far out weighed the reward, so I did not tak a Denver RB in any of my drafts. I have a feeling people will be jumping on someones bandwagon fantasy wise by week 2-3 up there.

thats the thing.... you have to wait at least a few weeks into the season to see who starts seperating from the pack. right now theres 4 options and thats too many for fantasy.

If you are stack at backs and u had room on your roster I would draft both Bell's and see what happens because all u need is for one of to get hurt or one gets in Shannhan's dog house u might be looking pretty good

Craztel · 09-04-2006, 06:35 PM

I do have Mike Bell on a couple of my teams, Tatum was picked up pretty fast in the drafts. If there does wind up with two 1000 yard rushers again this season, the reward is going to be great.......

THE GOAT · 09-04-2006, 06:51 PM

Try and trade for T. BEll or see if you can trade M BEll to help your team, but I have to say I like the HANDCUFF

gapuryear · 09-05-2006, 12:45 PM

If you have watched any of ESPN's fantasy rules, they said one of them was "Never draft a Broncos running back.... because Mike Shannahan hates you." I think its pretty good advice. I had Tatum last year and if I did start him he was terrible, if I didnt, he ran for 2 tds. its just such a guessing game its not worth it.

SDK_06_CHAMP · 09-05-2006, 04:53 PM

i agree i hate the guessing of it

Takeo · 09-05-2006, 04:59 PM

I think Tatum Bell will win the job eventually, but he'll still be splitting with Mike Bell. That being said, neither is worth having on your team.

Haha that was funny, no surprise here but still funny to give a shout out to the fantasy boys!!
