Tatum Bell has potential to be a starting running back come the 2008 fantasy season, but first he has to win the starting job in Detroit.
Keep a close eye on the running back situation in Detroit. They have Kevin Smith coming in this year, Tatum Bell who was brought in last year, and I wouldn’t rule out the signing of another running back before the season gets here.
Bell was brought in last season to fill in until Kevin Jones was able to go. Jones looks to be out of the picture for the time being, but Bell is not guaranteed the starting job. Keep an eye on him, the starting back for Detroit should be a decent option this year as they will look to run the ball more this season, but we could also be looking at a running back by committee this year. Right now, draft Bell as a flyer and hope he turns out to be the man for the Lions.
