Probably be asking these questions on the regular since I have a few really nice options.

Le'Veon travelling to the tough Carolina Panthers D
or
Khiry Robinson getting the big back work for the Saints at home vs Minny D, that just got run over by a weak O line of Patriots leading Ridley.

Saints RBs have over 250yds rushing and 4 TDs through 2 games so far.
Crazy that this is even an option, but with Ingram out and the Saints at home, looking like a ton of touches for Robinson this week.

thoughts?

just looked this up - CAR D is only giving up 86yds per game, and have allowed 0 rushing TDs so far.

If Bell wasn't getting the lion's share in PIT right now, Robinson would be the easy start.

Robinson should never be the easy start of L Bell. Way to much worrying going into this game against the Panthers by many. Or just a total lack of trust for Bell. Either or i'm rolling with L Bell with no hesitation this week.

PITs offensive offense on the road last week, in combination with a stout CAR D has me a little worried to just blindly roll with Bell.

Probably just held Lions to their lowest point total for the whole year

I don't disagree on the concern on facing the CAR DST. On the flipside though you have to be concerned with usage of any Saints RB. If you absolutely knew that Kiry would be used in the same manner as Ingram, then it would be advisable to take that chance. Problem is you don't, with Frenchy still in the mix. As such, I'd lean towards Bell only because you know he will be the one getting all the carries and just may break one or get a cheap short yardage TD. I'm not sure you can have that same faith in Kiry's role. ..... just my opinion.
