Hi guys, love your work. I'm really keen on picking up Bell but interested in your thoughts on who i should grab to start for the first 3 weeks. I'm not so inclined to grab Deangelo as he loses his value once he's back. Prefer someone with a longer game in mind. Out of the RBs in the RB3 range - eg. Gio, Sims, Duke J, Crowell, Woodhead range - are there any that stick out for you as having a good schedule those early weeks and thus a good match with Bell? I'm quite high on Sims but they have some tough match-ups initially. I'm in a 12 team standard league. Many thanks for your help!

I understand your feeling on DeAngelo. But if you get him and keep him it's really great insurance in case something happens to Bell again. But depending on your roster spots, it is kind of a wasted spot, so I get the mixed emotions about it.

Because it's a standard, I'm a little less high on a few of the guys like Gio, Duke and Woodhead. Now I think they will get significant enough work to be usable but guys like that can often be up and down week to week and that's especially true in a standard league.

The deal with Crowell is he's fine enough for a standard but we're figuring when the team is playing from behind it will be Duke on the field. So probably out of that group, and in a standard, I might like Duke among the best bets for you. He's probably right up there with Sims in my book so I would still target one of those two with Woodhead third and Gio fourth and Crowell fifth - just because I worry about the game flow. May be thinking way too much about that though...
