How far does Bell fall? Late 1st round or out of the 1st round completely? I feel like I'd still take him fairly early.
If he's out 4 games... no way I'm touching him in the 1st round. I could deal with 2 games, but not 4. If he somehow slips to the 3rd, I would definitely take him there. But that's wishful thinking.
I'm still gonna try to get him and just make sure I get D-Will as well even if I have to reach for him.
Bell will probably fall too late first round. The problem is you are going to have to take DeAngelo Williams somewhere in the 5th or 6th round. Taken Bell without DeAngelo Williams is suicide. I think I am going to avoid that running back situation in Pittsburgh. It's a big price to pay with a late first-round and a 5th round pick also. DeAngelo Williams is not a young guy and you never know if he will stay healthy. It's a situation I think I'm going to avoid completely
Does anyone on NT want to do a Dynasty league? I have two others that I run (auction and the OG PPR league we started years ago). Would like to do a Dynasty league, only kind of FF I haven't done. I'll set it up, quote this and add your name (email) if you want to start (another) NT league up.
Now Ezekiel Elliott's girlfriend is posting pictures on Instagram of bruises all over her body. This is why I go wide receiver, wide receiver, wide receiver. These running backs are a crapshoot
damn good point on saying that you gotta draft Williams if you take Bell. I was thinking about taking him as after the snake back round which would be pick 15. He can't appeal or anything to get his suspension reduced right?
The problem with taking DeAngelo Williams at 15 is the price you have to pay for basically one running back position. You are paying a first and a second round price. That is way too expensive for me. Then you have to realize that the next time Bell gets busted it is a year suspension. Then you are dealing with a guy DeAngelo Williams that has not been the healthiest guy over his career. That is way too expensive for me. I am going to stay away from Bell and Williams this year. I'm not saying that Bell will be a bust but too much trouble and too big of a price for me to pay
I'm staying away from Bell again this season but grabbing Williams so whoever does draft Bell doesn't get him
Don't forget that the Steelers have a week 8 bye so you would actually be losing him 5 out of the first 8 weeks
Two questions for you guys, how does this suspension effect the top of the draft? I have the 4th pick and before the potential suspension the top 4 looked to be Antonio Brown, Leveon Bell, Gurley and Odell now that Bell might face suspension who do you bump into the top 4 Julio? This is standard league btw. Question 2 What do you think will be an ideal round for Bell? I have the 4th pick then 21 and 28 I would consider taking him 28th since i have D-Will as a potential keeper who do you guys think about that?
Most definitely Julio. And you better make damn sure you get Bell if you're going to keep D-Will. I really can't tell you how early you should take Bell right now...some people will still draft him in the first round so I highly doubt he'd be there at 28.
Yeah I know some people will still draft him in the first round but I personally wouldn't risk a 1st or 2nd for him your asking a problem and your setting yourself up for failure. Ok for my scenario if someone drafts him right and I have D-Will as a keeper your using a top pick for position that's already thin and you don't have his handcuff plus he's injury prone. For the first 8 weeks he'll be available for 3 games I'm not risking a top pick on that, but that's just me though.
D-Will was still putting up crazy numbers when Bell went down last year so if you have him as your handcuff then it really shouldn't hurt you using an early pick on him.
