PATSSOX 22 Posted December 23, 2011 He is now in my lineup Report: Barber out, Bell in for Bears at GB The Chicago Tribune reports Marion Barber (calf) will sit out Saturday's game in Green Bay. Barber's absence leaves Kahlil Bell as the primary ball-carrier and potential three-down back. "There are bigger concerns I have, and Kahlil is not one of them," coach Lovie Smith said. "... I'm excited about the opportunity he has." A candidate for 20+ touches, Bell is now a top-25 fantasy option for Week 16.

thegame 8 Posted December 23, 2011 Wow! Was gonna play Sproles or Smith but if this dude is gonna be three down back then I might play him. However last year I got burned playing Rashard Jennings who everyone thought would blow up against the Skins. Hmmmmm....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted December 23, 2011 The article stated Saturday night, but the game is Sunday night. Can we trust the article is accurate? Rotoworld had a transcription error. The Chicago Tribune has this report (which Rotoworld used) http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/football/bears/ct-spt-1223-bell-bears-chicago--20111223,0,138880.story Veteran Marion Barber is expected to miss Sunday's game against the Packers in Green Bay with a calf injury, according to a league source. That leaves Bell as the primary ball carrier because Matt Forte still is sidelined with a sprained right knee. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PATSSOX 22 Posted December 23, 2011 The article stated Saturday night, but the game is Sunday night. Can we trust the article is accurate?
