re: #1 pick in FF this year

Me either. Out of him, Charles and Bell (what I think will be the most popular 1-3) I think AP carries the least risk.
I pick third and my top 4 is AP, Bell, Charles and Lacy.

It's not how they start the season for you, it's how they finish. Ex. OBJ

he's really going to miss close to a quarter of your season with the bye factored in.
just depends on how many your league allows into the playoffs. Can you afford the slow start you're likely going to have until his return? If only 4 of 12 get in, well your margin for error is pretty slim.
You'll also have to likely grab Deangelo a little earlier than you'd like because he's of more value to you as a bell owner.

Well if you draft accordingly you shouldn't have a problem. One draft pick shouldn't cost you 4 games to start the fantasy season.

You're first round pick missing a quarter of the season is nothing to scoff at. Can you overcome it and it not be a problem? Sure. But thats no guarantee.
And I'm not saying I wouldn't draft him, but when Peterson, Charles, and Lacy are there, hell even CJ, Foster and Forte, you have to at least consider it.

it may or may not, but those first 4 weeks you're facing up against everyone's optimal roster since there are no byes then and you're without your best player. Its not a lock you lose but you can't deny you're at a disadvantage there.
I'm simply playing devil's advocate to those that say you take Bell #1-2 no questions asked. You're taking on some risk there.

I'm agreeing with you.

Most certainly. Not to mention the fact that unless you are drafting Deangelo, you're plugging someone else in that is the third RB you've drafted for 4 weeks to start. Doesn't mean that you can't win, but if you just wanted to go by production of an average RB1 to average RB3, you're probably looking at a 7-9 point average decline per game.

I agree that it should not be Bell, but I think Bell is a first-rounder even with the suspension.
If I get a late first round pick, I might snag him and then grab Williams late.

It looks like DeAngelo Williams will be the guy starting in his place and then backing him up, so snagging Williams with a pick in Round 9 or 10 should save you a headache.
Bell was on my 2014 team a consistent bright spot every week--so maybe I'm biased by recent experience.

I had bell on a team last year as well and I rode him to a championship. He was fun to watch week in and week out. I really don't know where to place bell yet. He looked so damn good last year that I'd think long and hard about taking him #1 even with the suspension.

I know everyone is high on lacy but do ysll really think he is the #1 player this year.
I feel safer picking Peterson, Charles, or lynch
and I got nothing but hate last year about lynch and all he did was go off

No. I think AP is.
