Bell is #2 (PPR, at least) at his (scarcer) position in PPG which is what matters. PPR or not, league settings vary. RB isn't scarce, its the workloads that vary, same can be said for WR that gets tons of targets. Julio gets points without the targets of say a Hopkins and does more with those targets.

The circumstances under which one player is producing more than another is largely irrelevant if those circumstances aren't expected to change. With few other options in Houston, Hopkins will continue to get more targets than anyone. Thats pure speculation! Of course Bell is going to get a lot of work with Vick... Vick is horrible at passing as we just saw this past monday.

Bell is averaging 20 rushes, 100 yards, and a TD per game. That's 5 YPC, much of which came with Vick as the QB. Throw in 6 catches and 30+ yds per game receiving. I feel pretty confident that he's putting up top 5 RB stats over that period.

So this should favor Bell.. How so?! It's pretty even. Bell gets a lot of touches, Julio gets a lot of targets and makes the most out of those touches. BOTH players perform very well for their positions.

Literally none of what you put forth suggests this, and how can you just say 'injuries aside' when Julio regularly battles injury and Bell is very durable. Has it slowed him down this yr?! Numbers say otherwise. We're not doctors, we have no damn idea how bad it is until he's actually benched.

RB is NOT as scarce as people make it out to be.. there are plenty of success stories going with that "no-RB" draft plan and land much better RBs than those that were drafted very high, it happens every year. I am only arguing that Bell for Julio or vice versa is absolutely reasonable, wtf makes you think otherwise!!? How does one of thee best WRs not command a high RB 1??!!
