He has to or he loses this year of service and can be tagged again next year.

that Bell doesn’t even want to play without a new deal and Pitt just wants him to go. In this scenario they wouldn’t tag him again and deal with the circus.

I don’t think it’s a guarantee that Bell comes back this season. Likely, but certainly not a guarantee.

I'm hoping the rumors about Bell not coming back this year are true. I'm selfish that way

My starting lineup is...

Ben at Baltimore
Ekeler at Seattle
Kerryon at Minny
Hopkins at Denver
Cooper vs. tennesee
Cooks at NO
Evans at Carolina
Butker and KC defense at Cleveland

One fucking player has a home game and its my worst one. Going up against the first place guy too. No reason even to get excited.

and I'm starting Adrian Peterson & Doug Martin at RB in one league. Would have never guessed that in August.

I expect him to come back within the next few weeks and split carries with Conner. They will not force feed him like they have in the past though, IMO.

Regarding that trade. I don't think the other guy would even consider moving Kelce for one of your backs, nor does he need to. Who is his other TE?

by week 10, when he has to be, to get the accredited season of service.

Whether he plays though, and how much, is a total different story.

The Steelers are a principled franchise to an extent, so I can see Tomlin viewing it as Conner is going to be here for the long run (or immediate future at least), Bell is as good as gone, so F-him let's give Conner the meaningful carries.

But...winning games is important, so if Bell is there and in uniform he's going to play.

Just I don't think anyone other than Tomlin and Fichtner know the role Bell will play.

Conner has been good, give Bell a feature back role, or maybe even a significant time share could be viewed as a slap in the fact to Conner.

He is not going to trade Kelce for Cook.

you have no backs worth Kelce. Connor will be a tough sell with Bell situation. Be honest your going to have to ride him for as long as you can.

They actually dont need him. If Conner is effective, I would not upset that chemistry. Let Bell ride the bench and collect his money. Bell does not realize that other clubs see his shit and dont want any part of it at the price tag he is asking for.

I accepted an offer for Conner for Julio Jones. I am in a 3 keeper 3 WR 2 RB Flex half ppr.

I added Conner for free and he has been great but my other RBs are Gurley Gordon Mack Kerryon Johnson Collins and Ekeler and my WRs were horrible after Adams (John Brown Amari Cooper Corey Davis).

Did I make the right move? I really wanted to win the title with Conner it's been so fun having him but I had to think logically that there's a chance Bell takes some passing down work in the fantasy playoffs (Weeks 13-16).

Plus if Adams were to get hurt I would be screwed at WR.

Now I can start Mack or Kerryon or even Collins with his great playoff schedule.

Mack in his 2 games back has been Conner-esque.

?

I could definitely see a scenario where they activate, but don't play him, unless Conner is hurt.

I was thinking about keeping Conner with Gurley and Gordon and just having a 3 headed monster forever.

Now I will just stick with Gurley Gordon Adams and trade Julio for a pick.

alternative is Jordan Howard.

and I expect Bell to have plenty of suitors in the offseason. Bell is not the bad guy here.

Debating the same but with Aaron Jones.

And also not sure do I go with boom or bust Goodwin or golladay in Minnesota...

Anyone else going to stream them?

Alternatively I have the cowboys against TEN...

Starting, do you downgrade Kittle, or hope he is the qb’s best friend??

I’m in the same boat, don’t know what to do

He does seem turnover prone, based only on preseason snaps, but does Oakland have anyone on def who can take advantage??

Oakland is really bad and their defense sucks.

*Uconn....

TE and RBs tens to be a shitty QBs best friend so I probably still play him.

I would receive Davante Adams
I would give up Hilton and Yeldon

I could go Njoku, but will probably stick with Kittle. Thanks

Yes, I would do that in a heart beat.

I agree

12 team PPR, up to 4 keepers who cost 2 rounds above pick (so 15th rounder in 2018 costs a 13th to keep in 2019; can't keep 1st/2nd round picks). Also, draft order is based on previous year's finish (lottery for non-playoff teams and order of finish for playoff teams).

I'm currently dead last in record/points at 2-6, so even winning out wouldn't likely get me a playoff spot.

1st trade, sent Julio and Dalvin Cook (my 1st and 2nd round picks) + my 2019 8th rounder for a 2019 2nd rounder.

2nd trade, sent Jarvis Landry, Dion Lewis (both won't be kept) + 9th rounder for Aaron Jones + 6th rounder.

Both trades were made with playoff teams, so I targeted even round picks to get back since they would be early picks in those rounds.
