Advice?

Standard league. Already have three viable starters. Worth the risk or is it worse than they are letting with Bell?

Keep Ivory, Bell doesn't have Lisfranc, but he'll be out a few weeks.

Bell, who is rehabilitating a foot sprain, will not play because he won’t be able to practice. Tomlin made it a point to say the practice time and not necessarily the injury is preventing Bell from playing, which indicates he is close to returning soon.

Bell could be back by Week 2 or 3 FWIW

He has a lot of potential when he comes back. Ivory is just sitting only bench anyway and isn't even the starter anymore.

My concern is ivory's avg points dropped 3-5 points since Powell was named starter. Is that just an honorary title or what?

Ivory will be the starting back eventually. He missed a lot of training camp.

I would pick up bell, personally.

You feel Bell will be the main guy when he comes back?

I would take Bell over Ivory in a heartbeat. Bell has the potential to be a stud. Ivory, not so much.

From what I've heard, Ivory will still likely monopolize the 1st and 2nd down carries for the most part. But he's very injury prone.

I would probably swap Ivory for Bell if I had the chance though.
