datsyuk 208 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Just watching the NFL Network, and Ian Rappaport was live on there and reported that it is expected for Bell to return either today or tomorrow. We will see if it actually happens. Link to post Share on other sites

Tenner 1,052 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Just trying to get a pulse. For non Bell owners, have you gotten any trade requests from the Bell owner? I wonder if Conner is getting a premium value in return (relative to where he was drafted). Link to post Share on other sites
ponchsox 1,800 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Have him queued up to add if Bell doesn’t show since my week one opponent has Bell. Link to post Share on other sites
The Caucasian Sensation 463 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Even if Bell returns do the Steelers limit his touches in Game 1? Will he show up in shape? I have added Conner in all of my deeper leagues, Bell's lack of practice and possibly not being in football shape usually doesn't bode well as far as resisting the injury bug.

I think they will limit his touches, atleast for the first game, even if he shows up. Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder if Conner is getting a premium value in return (relative to where he was drafted). You wont get a premium offer from owners because some owners, early in the season, still tie trade stock with when a player was drafted. Also, Bell is not hurt and he could report back to the team any day now which is still likely. Also, its still early in the season, so owners probably have a capable "plan b" to get them by the first week or so. If this goes into week 2, the value of Connor increases significantly.

Ponchosox 90 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Conner’s ADP must be skyrocketing in drafts today Link to post Share on other sites
id10t 171 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Seems like this guy should be getting more hype, despite the constant flow of "no, really, Bell is going to report. For reals this time. No, seriously" stories. Especially if you're just grabbing him as a free agent. Even if Bell does report, Conner will be involved. Link to post Share on other sites
Savatage79 2,427 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I don't think bell will report, I think his days are over tbh.. I'm just glad I had made a preemptive strike on some conner shares as that could be huge Link to post Share on other sites
Sizzlebshu 99 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Bell will likely report by Wednesday. If he doesn't then fire James Conner. Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Whom 3,055 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Doesn't he kind of suck though...did nothing on the ground during preseason with the 1st offense. I would not spend any FAAB on him if I couldn't get him for free Link to post Share on other sites
Watitdookie 73 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I think Of this situation to Khalil Mack. Bell will not play week one, and the now the cards are on James Conner hands. He will thrive as a starter. Shaun Alexander got his opportunity to be great because he was the next man up and that what the NFL is about, “ The next man up”. I could be wrong but the opportunity is there for Conner to take it! If Conner takes it, I expect the 49ers to Trade for Le’Veon and PAY HIM WHAT HE DESERVES! And for people thinking he selfish for that , look at the disrespect the RB position been getting the past few years. Money wise, Draft value wise, and releasing veteran RB for the sake of shared backfields. Leveon Bell is fighting for the sake of the position it self. And when it comes to James Connor extension when/if he kills it’s, he’s going to be thanking Leveon Bell for uplifting the RB position Link to post Share on other sites

CABLE87 1,749 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Every league im in, the Bell owners missed their chance. Got him for free. I think he will sit out yet again and preserve himself for FA next season. Adam Schefter may be right. James Connor looked decent in Preseason and quite frankly he should be owned in all formats. Could be a League Winner, and a steal atm. Do not let him slip away. Link to post Share on other sites
dave.zavala89 150 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 As a Steelers fan and non Bell owner in all leagues I just added Conner for free because why not? Better than waiting an extra day if Bell shows up. Only league I wasn't able to snag Conner was in 1 where the Bell owner handcuff him in the draft. Link to post Share on other sites

Picked up Morris recently. Just dropped him for Conner. I really only need the RB2 until week 3 so I went for the upside Link to post Share on other sites

Do you guys think Conner will be better than Lynch? To get Conner, probably have to drop Crowell or Jameison Crowder. Is it worth it? I don't understand the handcuff concept, we have not Conner enough but how does he become startable. Yes, Conner is a top 15 RB without Bell. Better than Lynch/Crow for sure.
