I always make sure I have one elite RB to start the season. I always like to work the wire during the first few weeks, primarily searching for solid WR’s to where I am stacked there and can trade recklessly on a second elite RB before playoffs. Having 2 elite, consistent RB’s with respectable players is key. That strategy has worked for me repeatedly. I win a lot. With that said, I just made a trade (12 team league PPR)....
I get:
Djoku
Bell
I give:
Kareem Hunt
Golladay
John Brown...
With the free roster spot, I have to pick up an IDP because of a bye week. My other TE is Jimmy Graham who is on a bye week and my league is half Packer fans. I am gonna trade him for someone awesome because some Pack homer will overcompensate.
So after that trade, my team is:
QB (1 starter): Patrick Mahomes,Kirk Cousins
WR: (3 starters): ODB, Allen Robinson, Taylor Gabriel, Sammy Watkins, Corey Davis...
RB (2 starters): Bell, Sony Michel (I think he has become an RB1), Matt Breida (most underrated RB in fantasy... in average points per game he is the 12th best RB in the league, but everyone puts their nose up to him in trade requests as if he sucks), Nick Chubb (Hyde traded to Jags...Chubb is now a potential RB1), Kerryon Johnson, Ito Smith (value increased this week with Freeman going to IR).
TE (1 starter): Graham and Djoku... I think these guys are the same in terms of future production...I am going to trade Graham for some fire to a TE needy Pack fan in my league.
K: Butt Kicker
Def: Jax
IDP (start 3): TJ Watt, Telvin Smith, Myles Jack and likely Darren Lee to cover open slot for Watt’s Bye week.
I made that trade because I needed a good TE now because of Graham’s Bye week and could give up a lot to get him because of good waiver moves and trades to this point.
Without Bell, I don’t see how I place any lower than 2nd. With Bell, I think I have it locked up.
So...the question I am getting to: What do you guys expect from Bell at this point?
