PPR Flex Fred Jackson or Mike Bell?

[piazzapick]

12 team PPR league

I drafted Schilens in two leagues to use the IR spot and hope to take a chance on an undrafted player. I thought Schilens would be out longer.
I picked up Bell in one league and can't pick anyone up until after the games in wk one in the other.

Would you start Bell DET or Fred Jackson @ NE in the Flex this week?

F Jackson will be the #1 guy by default, but has a bad O line and a bad match up

Bell is the #2 guy playing Det in a run and gun offense

Who do you like?

Follow up question...

To keep Bell in one league would you drop Schilens, F. Jackson, Henry, or Hester? Any of them worth working out a trade?

In the other league I will wait and see on Hillis, Nicks, Hixon, and Schilens to see if I can work Bell in there.

#1: Start Fred Jackson. NE isn't invincible and Jackson has a big role in the passing game.

#2 Drop Hester or Schillens to keep Bell.

You start Jackson. he is the starter and main back in Buf. for three weeks and will get alot of work even after Lynch is back.

Keeping Bell isn't a terrible idea....to me his only value though is when P.Thomas is hurt. So you have to decide value vs. other players. I would keep him over Shillens though.

I would actually play Bell this week. I just don't think New England's front is going to let Jackson do much. If Pierre is fully out I say go for the upside with Bell. It also depends on who else you got playing.

I'm not sold on the Patriots defense being able to stop the run well, so I would say Jackson. He's the man in Buffalo right now so he'll get plenty of touches.
