Detroit Lions running back Joique Bell is still No. 1 on the team's depth chart. He is fully expected to start Week 1 despite missing all of the offseason and training camp while recovering from knee and Achilles' surgeries. He will almost certainly handle the majority of the early-down carries and goal line work.
Fantasy Analysis:
As dynamic as Ameer Abdullah is, he can't do what bell does. He's not a guy you can slam between the tackles and can grind out those tough yards. Bell can do just that. He also catches passes very well out of the backfield.
