Boilermaker04 11 Posted October 15, 2015 Any homers heard if they're giving him the start against CHI or still teaching him a lesson? Trying to get a guess on snap count for what should be a great matchup... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
megatron's mom 6 Posted October 15, 2015 That team is a train wreck. I wouldnt start him unless you have zero other options. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yojimbo81 0 Posted October 15, 2015 I have Abdullah slated to start on my team because I'm short of options. As mentioned above this team is a trainwreck. Luckily, the Bears are too. I picked up Rawls and an waiting for updates about Lynch. If Rawls is running the rock again Abdullah is coming out of my lineup. I haven't heard much about Abdullah's status but the Lions are short of options. Bell has done nothing. He might split time with Zenner. Or maybe the run game will even be reduced and Riddick will be in for many pass plays. Who knows? I wouldn't start him unless absolutely neccessary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tanatastic 2,061 Posted October 15, 2015 Even as the starter Abdullah gets 9 carries for 7 yards. Meanwhile Riddick catches 9 balls. Makes me sick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mcgruber 17 Posted October 15, 2015 last time I heard he still played for Detroit. That entire team is in the doghouse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jgilkey513 6 Posted October 15, 2015 Looks like J. Bell had full practice on Wed. I'm short on options too with Charles going down, and just picked up Bell. That means I'm carrying TWO Detriot RB's right now. God help me. I find it hard to believe AA gets many touches if Bell is back IMO. http://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/lions-joique-bell-full-practice-wednesday/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
montana 89 Posted October 15, 2015 I dropped him for West. With that being said - expect 200 APY & 3 TDS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skinny_Bastard 154 Posted October 15, 2015 Wasn't he suppose to be the Detriot Lion's Messiah. The hype machine was out of control in August. Dude's a poor between the tackle runner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Goomy Noomy Roo 47 Posted October 15, 2015 I say give him one more shot before you punt him. Good matchup this week if you are short on options. If Detroit continues its ineptitude this week, then punt this guy or at least bench him until you see the light shine again in Stafford's eyes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,497 Posted October 15, 2015 J Bell is back at practice and Riddick is the better player in the passing game I think it's time to let Abdullah go Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reassuring for those of us short on options at RB this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redsrback 30 Posted October 16, 2015 http://www.freep.com/story/sports/nfl/lions/2015/10/15/detroit-lions-ameer-abdullah-fumbles/74001232/ Lions staff saying that fumbles will not limit Abdullah's workload (yet). Reassuring for those of us short on options at RB this week. Running a guy in obvious situations 9 times is not a workload, they should try running him 30 times before burying him, then maybe they wont have the need to make Riddick there number 1 option in the passing game.

Franknbeans 46 Posted October 16, 2015 Riddick is also hobbled with a groin injury. If he can't break out now then he might never. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,497 Posted October 17, 2015 Looks like Bell is questionable once again , so Abdullah should get a lot of work only guy of the three left . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tanatastic 2,061 Posted October 17, 2015 Bell is not a threat to Ameer. If he was being outrushed I'd be worried, but he isn't, the whole team stinks. Ameer has been pretty much the only playmaker. The coaches decided that Theo Riddick is their Mariano Rivera at the end of games which is another bonehead call. Ameer has made plays in the passing game and is just as good at that role. Might be worse in pass pro, I haven't seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,497 Posted October 17, 2015 Problem is Abdullah has not been much of a play maker . If Bell gets healthy he will take away a lot of early down work from Abdulhah and the Lions seem happy with Riddick in the passing game . Of the nine leagues I'm in Abdullah is a free agent in 4 of them he has done very little since game one . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boilermaker04 11 Posted October 17, 2015 I'm beginning to sense my optimism has some bias on this guy..... I knew he was underperforming but not waiver fodder. Can't see anyone worth dropping him for so he'll sit on my bench for the foreseeable future. Probably maybe. I try to ignore or dismiss "hunches" because they are almost always logically flawed; I can't shake a projection of like 120 apy a td and 5-6 receptions this week. Yes, CHI is that bad.

tanatastic 2,061 Posted October 18, 2015 I traded Duke Johnson, Moncrief and Ameer for Hyde and Landry and was laughed at by a guy who says I made a bad move. I clearly upgraded and now my RBs are Freeman, Martin and Hyde. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When Bell gets healthy, he's the guy to own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
