None of those bolded names are worth it either except maybe Forte,
but I haven't read up on him at all so maybe not him either.

When he isn't playing the first three weeks of the season you definitely could make an argument for those 2 QBs specifically. Luck single handily won championships last year for people. I also prefer PPR to standard, which is why Brown, Dez, and Calvin I could see as well. I'm not saying all of those players would be picked ahead of him, those are just names I could understand people taking in favor of.
We can agree to disagree on the other names but I'll take full season Lacy and Forte at 5 over Bell every day of the week. Especially now that John Fox is running that offense in Chicago, forte could lead the league in rushing and it wouldn't surprise me at all.
In my experience, hitting on the first two rounds is paramount to success. I'd rather sure thing, full 16 week starters there than suspended Bell if I'm picking early in the first. Get another established back, then go top tier WR or QB if I'm not high on any backs available around 19-24. I'd rather take Andre Ellington, Lamar miller, etc later on and then have another WR be my flex. That's just how I play, there's more than one way to build a team.
