Tatum Bell: How will he do the rest of the year?

[superslugger616]

I just traded Ronnie Brown for him, and i'm expecting big things out of him as the fulltime starter (not to mention he had his bye already nd Ronnie didnt). He rushed well against two tough Baltimore and New England defenses, and has 5 ypc. How will his performance rate with the rest of the league from here on out?

1,300 rushing...5.1 ypc...7 td's


he could easily reach 1,500 though, i think he gets better with time...and his next 5 games will pad his stats crazily...

Well he should be a yardage hog the rest of the year if he can do two things: eliminate fumbles and stay healthy. It seems clear that Mike Bell isn't going to take the job away based on performance, but he could take significant touches if Tatum gets in the habit of fumbling. Also, Tatum doesn't have the best track record with injuries, so that is something to be wary of.

All-in-all, I think it is a good trade for you, though.

Yardage Record.

I have gotten him cheap in all my leagues and see him as my x-factor that will carry me a few weeks here. He has some tough matchups vs Ptt and San Diego twice...but the next five weeks and then Arizona and Cincy in playoffs looks good.

Yardage Record.

haha cmon cant we aim a little higher than that

he'll come around 1200, maybe a lil more or less, but don't expect over 5TD on the season. I think trading Brown for him's a bad idea.

[The Miner Part 2]

barring injury, he's a top 5 back from here on out and a top 5 keeper going into next year. STUD.

I think it is safe to say...
He will do more than Cedrick Cobb will...

i find it hard to believe ronnie brown turns it around and beats out bell fantasy wise at years end....dont see it happening, more td's probably, yardage not even close....they dont even give ronnie brown the ball....


he has the least amount of carries for ALL starting backs, doubt that changes any time soon
