I thought this bit from Don Banks' column over on SI was especially funny:
"We don't know yet if Denver will start Mike Bell, Tatum Bell or Cedric Cobbs at running back. But honestly, does it really matter when it comes to the Broncos' backfield? By now we're convinced Mike Shanahan could start Tatum O'Neal, Alexander Graham Bell or Cedric the Entertainer and still field a fairly representative running game."
By the way, Mike Bell is a Wildcat.
I see the link over at FoxSports which says, "Broncos give starting RB job to rookie Bell". My first thought: "rookie" Bell? This is Tatum Bell's third year. Boy, did the folks over at Fox Sports screw up.
Not so fast cowboy. I clicked on the link and was astonished to read: "Broncos rookie running back Mike Bell was told to see Mike Shanahan in his office for a meeting." Mike who? Or is that who Bell?
The story went on: "[Mike] Bell was shaking with excitement after Shanahan informed him he is the team's top running back, jumping ahead of Ron Dayne and Tatum Bell - for now. On Monday, Mike Bell was running with the first-team offense. Tatum Bell is second on the depth chart and Dayne third...
..."[Mike Bell]'s been real impressive," Shanahan said. "It is very close, and it could change day by day, week by week, but we felt like Mike deserves a chance to work with the first team and take a look to see if he can keep it."" I get it Shanahan. A motivational ploy.
Mind you, this is Mike Shanahan we are talking about. If Mike Bell impresses Shanahan in the preseason, don't be surprised if he is the starter on opening day.
FANTASY FOOTBALL PERSPECTIVE: Try to avoid the Broncos running backs for now. If your draft is this week, feel free to take any of the three of them as your 3rd or 4th RB in normal leagues (10-12 teams).
If your draft is later this month, watch this situation closely. The winner of the starting job is easily a great second round pick, potentially even late first round. UNLESS Mike Bell wins the job. He is still a rookie, which nudges his value down a full round (late second round to third round).
