Richard3312 1 Posted September 6, 2018 Yeah I'm thinking I'm not gonna have too many shots at getting a starting rb in a 14 team league. I might do that. Thank you. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BufordT 374 Posted September 6, 2018 I could be wrong but I don't think he was being serious. hth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BufordT 374 Posted September 6, 2018 I was being serious. I think wagering 30% of his budget on a possible RB1 is worth the risk. I'll disagree. He's unproven and who knows if he'll be more than a one week starter. Too many ????'s It's a long season to be spending that much this early on an unknown but..... Â ....you never know.

If he doesn't pull the trigger someone else will. It's a gamble, but every WW acquisition is a gamble pretty much. As far as odds to produce, it doesn't get much better than this. Conner as a starter off the WW is HUGE in a 14 team league. I bet the Bell owner would be shitting himself if he doesn't get Conner. Should be able to use him or trade him if he has a few good weeks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I bet the Bell owner would be shitting himself if he doesn't get Conner. Should be able to use him or trade him if he has a few good weeks. It would be different if the starter had an injury and was projected to be out for a significant amount of time. We're talking about L Bell holding out. He could be back next week for all we know. 30+% would be past my comfort zone when the season hasn't even started. You make a decent case, though, it's just not what I would do.

Kelvarr 13 Posted September 6, 2018 With those RB's, I think it is worth the 30% gamble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flgatorguy87 160 Posted September 6, 2018 If I am the Bell owner you aren't beating me with a 31%. As the Bell owner I know I am toast if he holds out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phillygrrl08 139 Posted September 6, 2018 Ian Rapaport is saying that he is reporting Saturday so...

Took me a twitter link that has a video. On the bottom of the video it says Le'veon Bell expected to report Saturday. That is all I saw, don't know if it is true, don't know if it will happen, I'm just saying if it does happen and people went all in on Conner they may be disappointed.

SpenceToons 70 Posted September 7, 2018 The way I saw it phrased was that Rap reported that the Steeler's "guess" is that Bell will report Saturday. Â With Rap's batting average on this topic, I shrugged the blurb off as a non-event. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flgatorguy87 160 Posted September 7, 2018 Rap directly tweeted that he doesnt have any indication for when he returns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phillygrrl08 139 Posted September 7, 2018 A mid to late round pick for Conner, or taking your #1 waiver priority? Yeah, sure. Â I'm hearing that people are trading Conner for Kelce. That's crazy. Â You want to blow 50% of your FAAB $ on a player that could end up being a backup or handcuff, that's on you. I don't know if Rapaport has inside info, if he's off the mark, or he's pulling crap out of his behind.

Richard3312 1 Posted September 7, 2018 I put in for conner at $15 and got him. Quite a few put in for him but everyone bid $0. I dont mind spending $15 on him either way, I needed another rb and it won't be often in a 14 team league that someone will become relevant that's not already rostered. I have a feeling a lot of these guys will end up not spending most of their faab money when the year comes to a close. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phinfan0301 8 Posted September 7, 2018 Definitely with those RB's you should be bidding up to 50% of your stack. If you nail him you're set...and if you miss, isn't it worth the risk? Â 30$ atleast. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richard3312 1 Posted September 7, 2018 I did $15 and got him. Immediately he is in my flex spot, ready to rock and roll vs cleveland sunday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TBayXXXVII 2,197 Posted September 7, 2018 I think people are going to be very disappointed in the return that Conner yields. I think his ceiling is a low RB2 / high RB3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted September 7, 2018 I think people are going to be very disappointed in the return that Conner yields. I think his ceiling is a low RB2 / high RB3. You are probably right. These types of situations don't seem to work out. It all feels too perfect. Bell is going to be back eventually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
