Do you guys like FA Bell?

Bell plays well for me as a third down back in certain formations.  I have the Elite Route Running chemistry on him, and that custom Angle route really comes in handy against guys who overplay the HB Flat Route.

If you aren't running a theme team there are definitely better options but with his ability to get any team chem, and his ability to catch the ball out of the backfield he for sure has value...I prefer fournette and Barry as my 1, 2 punch with Ricky as the backup

Quote from Y4wgm0th >> Bell is pretty much a must for theme teams imo. Off a theme team there might be better choices for all-purpose backs but on most theme teams he's pretty much the best. Should still have a dedicated runner though.

 I've considered him and tried him out, wasn't a fan... but I'm perfectly content with payton, 98 Howard and 96 Cohen

I am potentially still trying to get him, only have one 98 pass, and already used in on Earl's FA, and i already have PUed TOTY Gurley, with 90-91 pass on  Todd's Gatorade, I have Le'Veon, used the actual Journey from Solo rewards, I had Bell since the early part of MUT as my team's RB, but when i got Gurley, Bell was being sidelined and demoted to RB2

To me Bell is the best back in the game if you have him fully chemmed up on a theme team. I have 50/50 Eagles on him with Brawler to add strength since he already has 99 SPD. He's a beast! I've tried all the other RBs as well.

I'm curious about this too. In theory he's my third down back, but he's stuck behind Terrell Davis and Philip Lindsay, and I always end up using Lindsay as a backfield receiving option instead.

I spent to many coins to get FA Bell powered up to 99 on my 50 man 49er theme team. He plays terrible as a 99 card, I thinks it’s his break tackle stat. With PR maxed it's a BKT 93.... So disappointing... McKinnon outplays him and starts ahead of him. 49er theme team have three 99 speed HBs but I still have Ricky as my power back because of his higher break tackle.

He is great for me and my team

I think he's a good compliment back. My other backs have stone hands, so he is not bad to throw to when needed. He doesn't seem to break many tackles, but he's good in space. The any team chem makes him so valuable, but he really needs to be paired with a good power back. If you are a one back only player, there are better options.

Never been a big fan of his cards.

I have him along Saquon on a 50/50 Giants team and I like him. I mean I use Saquon for the power runs and use Bell rather on outside and he delivers. Plus, he works in the passing game, doesn't drop those checkdowns like many other backs.

 Truly is - a few of my buddies swear by him. Same with gurley, used to love him but can’t seem to get it going again at least in squads

I had him - CJ2K and lynch. I ended up selling off every Bell card but his 97 NAT. He’s great, but I just wasn’t diggin his running style. 

Also got rid of lynch which I regret, but wanna give shady a try. At this point, try all of them!
