T.Bell or B. Westbrook?

Recommended Posts

I have almost the same dilemma. I have LT and Westbrook as well, but will play Westbrook. In my league, 1 pt for 10 yds running and 1 for 20yds receiving, with his TD's is the #2 RB in fantasy points this year behind LT. He didn't score last week v. Saints D at home which is underated. He is practicing more this week than the last 3, so I think he will have a big week running and receiving.

Hard to sit Westbrook.

 

I would go with Westy...just because even if they are "resting" him I feel like he will still get a touchdown...don't know about Bell....denver's offense is a little shacky...

That's a tough one in my opinion. Westbrook is definitely a starter and kept one team alive multiple times in my league. He's quality, for sure.

 

Bell (I own him and will be starting him) doesn't have the skills Westbrook has in my opinion. He can run the ball ~25-26 times and still gets under 100 yrds. He's no Tiki. He does get the ball alot and is a safe bet to do well. But if you are playing a team where you need big points or no points, I'd go with Westbrook. If 15 points is going to do it for you (or 8) go for Bell. Bell is more consistent (he will get the ball) but Westbrook will score and get more receptions. I think Bell also has a great matchup this weekend. He should run over Cleveland, but I was expecting more from his last game and I didn't see it, just so you know.

 

Conclusion: Bell. Confidence: 55% (exceptionally low).

like others have suggested,

 

go with TATUM if you need solid points and some certainty.

 

go with WESTY if you need big points and it's worth the risk.

 

westbrook has that nagging knee problem and the eagles will be utilizing him less cuz they don't want him to get hurt again. that doesn't preclude the possibility of a long TD reception though.

 

tatum is the best part of a struggling offense, which means he will be getting the carries and the yards no matter what.

Based on numbers alone I go with Westbrook. The Broncos offense hasn't been wonderful. This does mean bell will get carries against a weak Browns team but Denver is scoring 12.4 points per game which is third worst in the league. On the other hand, the Eagles have the third best points per game in the league. Both opposing defenses are equally as poor against the run. I've always heard Westbrook has been a tough runner. Even if he does lag a bit this week I think LT will make up for it.
