LeVeon Bell - Just Drop Him

Recommended Posts

Is it safe to drop him now? I have Connor but scared that he may somehow be traded and lose out on the possibilities. If he does come back his team wont want him or play him minimally. I know there are multiple threads on him but want to know if I should just cut bait and pickup someone that can help instead of just wasting a bench spot.

IMO, you simply cannot. If you keep him and he never shows all you did was waste a pick/roster spot. If you drop him and he shows and becomes Le'Veon Bell again, you may have handed potentially the best player in the league for part of the season and a championship to another team to gain a roster spot used on an RB4 or WR5 or some crap.

 

:nono:

Guy in our league dropped him, someone else picked him up, then that guy dropped him....Then he was passed over this week.

 

So people arent dropping him?

Why would anyone drop him? He has to play 6 games this year to reach free agency otherwise he can only play for the Steelers again in 2019. He will be back on the roster by week 10 or 11 or earlier if he ends his stupid hold out.

Trade.

 

Someone will want him.

 

I mean even though it was easy to see how bad the Zona offence was going to be this season, some still had him ranked as the very first draft pick.

 

Someone will want him.

 

Work out a deal.

Trade him, youll get something. Try the Conner owner.

As a Conner owner, Bell's value to me is a player like Kerryon. The best offer he got was the Saturday of week one. Now Bell has little to no value to me and he can either keep him and waste a roster spot, release him, or find someone else willing to trade for him.

So he must be back by week 10/11?

 

I see a timeshare at RB if thats the case.

I dont think Tomlin has ever had rbbc. He always seems to run 1 guy the whole game. If Bell comes back and is ready to go, I think he will be back to the workhorse he was.

I don't see Bell just waltzing in after like 9 months of not playing football and picking up right where he left off. It doesn't work that way. If he shows up week 10 he might not be ready for a full workload till week 13 or so.

I'd throw out some offers. You should be able to find someone that will take the upside. There is a player out there on a roster that would be moved for Lev that is better than the best player on waivers.

Either way I would hold him unless your benches are really thin. Talking WR5/RB5

 

Bell will get a game or 2 to shake off the rust and would be in your flex for playoffs.

Someone will give up someone for him.

 

No question.

I am in 2 redraft leagues. I own Bell in 1 and Conner in both. I am holding onto Bell and the Bell owner in my other redraft league is holding so far as well. Dropping Bell has never even crossed my mind and I don't expect him to report until week 10.

If you have him now, don't trade him. Wait until he blows up for a game, then ship him off if you still don't like him. Right now, you are going to get 1/3 of his true value. By the time he returns, it may be past the trading deadline of most leagues. If that's the case, trade him in the offseason. I just can't see trading someone of his talent for almost nothing. When I traded him, his value was lower than it typically is, and I still got Ridley, Ebron and two first round picks in the dynasty rookie draft. If you ca't come away with something similar, hold him. Nobody ever wants to just hold a player.... lol With what you will get for him later, you could restock 1/4 of your roster.

As A Conner owner, I want L Bell. Owning the Pitt RB is huge. If I had both I would not drop him.

 

I had offered either M Lynch or P Barber for L Bell early on. Got no response. This is a redraft league.

 

I think the odds on thought is he comes back week 10. Probably a week in doubt of what to do, and then LBell is probably a top 3 RB the rest of the season. If that were to happen I want L Bell. And I want to cover my little thought that L Bell will actually show earlier. If P Barber does decently I may have to float that offer back out.

This is another reason why all leagues need IR spots.

I would not drop Bell, As a conner owner Bell has value.

The Conner and Bell owners in my leagues have been working out trades, or keeping him. No one has just dropped him.

No keep him.....you don’t need another benchwarmer that badly, do you?
