I dunno. Guys like CJ Anderson, Tarik Cohen, Corey Clement, Allen Hurns all went in the same round. Conner represents insane better value than any of those if Bell sits for a prolonged time.

ah I think I'm a bit behind on the news - didn't realize the stuff about multiple missed games was gaining traction -

Most of the thinking of my earlier post(s) was assuming that Connor had a ~95% chance of getting the majority of snaps for game 1, and ~50/50 for game 2.

So assuming Connor is the RB for the Steelers for half of their games... where are you drafting him? Rd 6/7?

There's another team that has Gurley, Beckham, AB, Cook, Landry, Wilson and more, so will be tough to compete with that one. But Barkley, Bell and DJ in PPR? I think I could work with that.

Bell situation change your thoughts?

No. Hurts this year, but going forward you still have 3 top 10 assets.

I see no upside to Bell losing 800k a game for 10 games this season. He's not going to get that back. I see where waiting till Saturday to sign his deal so he gets his game check this week but still can't play makes sense for Bell. It will keep his touches down a little for the season and he gets to nut shot the Steelers one last time before he goes to work.

He has to play 6 games or he doesn't get credit for the year. I own him and hope he does sit out but I don't see it. He'll sign soon.

No sit/start thread for week 1. Or am I missing it?

I thought we decided to do one start/sit thread for the season since there is no reason to have a new one each week.

how much FAAB out of 100 would you bid on him tonight with Gordon as your PPR RB1 and Carson/Barber as your #2?

I watched Ekeler get taken at 130 in the 11th, it sucked

100 of 100*

*Thia assumes 1) you are still talking about leveon even though I don’t understand how he could be a FA and 2) you can pick up players for free after waivers clear.

The thread has “week 1” in the title so it appears there may be more threads to follow. I need to put “having a start/sit thread for each week in the nfl season” in the thread stuff that pisses me off but shouldn’t, but it probably doesn’t belong in that thread since it should piss me off that I have to search for the new thread each week instead of having the season long one in my subscribed.

I'd go after him with the thought that he's signing this week but is probably going to start slow again. He started slow last year too. Only DJ has scored more on a per game basis the last couple years.

Not sure what to bid on him because i never play FAAB.

Just finished my last draft

It ended up being an lol-8 teamer with 2 douches dropping out last minute, I can barely stand 10 teams as it is, sigh...

Anyways, it's 1 keeper/team/year, 1 round ahead of last year's draft spot, or 10th round if picked up sometime later.

.5 PPR / 4pt ptd
1 QB / 2 RB / 2 WR / 3 Flex / 1 TE / 1 D

I had very meh keeper options unfortunately, tough to compete with any team that gets to keep kamara this year, but this league is pretty soft anyways. Don't feel great about it either way, thoughts? Ranks?

"*" denotes a keeper pick

I’m not sure if this will answer your question or not, but I own bell in a .5PPR dynasty league with Conner as a FA. I am bidding 25% of my faab on Conner.

My RBs: leveon, saquon, Cohen, AP, javorius Allen

Look at what the best RB in the league David Johnson is playing for this season......it's criminal.
