Bell/1.01+ offer on the table

[CurtisMyFavMartin]

Team 1 in signature. I have an offer on the table to make a run at the title (the Obj for Bell offer I asked about fell through unfortunately). My 2nd RB is weak, it’s between Jamaal Williams and Frank Gore at this point so I’m looking for help.

I give: 1.01, my 2018 1st, Khalil Mack, Myles Jack

Get: Le’Veon Bell, Brandon Graham

I know not everyone does IDP, but I can tell you the IDP value is with Mack and Jack considerably.

Thoughts?

I'd actually pass.
1. I'd imagine losing Mack and Jack in IDP would hurt your chances.
2. Jamaal Williams has been a solid RB2 with RB1 upside, especially with Rodgers coming back in week 15 to boost that offense.
3. That's a huge overpay for Bell. I would guess in a few months you might see Bell+ for the 1.01 depending on what happens with PIT.

I'm going to pile on, stay put! I am also jealous Mack is a DL for you!

Holy bleep that 1.01 value is already high if we're saying it's not worth a late first and some D guys to get Bell for a championship run

Although, I do not know the value of those idp guys in there as well

[RTE]

Get bell

[CurtisMyFavMartin]

I happen to agree with the latter advice- although thanks to those of you that responded. I have to pay a premium right now if I want a shot at the championship- trade accepted

[RedBengal]

Gotta be another RB somewhere in your league to get without having to give up all that.

Does he want anything else? Milk and bleep cookies too? I can argue Bell isn’t worth the 1.01. Nobody wouldn’t listen, but I can make the argument!

[Goddard]

Good trade in my opinion. Hopefully it helps you win it all.

I do not understand anyone who argues against getting Bell. Bell is not just good because he plays for Pitt. Pitt is largely good because they have Bell.

I know I've written this dozens of times... if you have a chance to get Bell... get Bell. Teams with Bell win. It's simple. His mediocre PPR games are still top 10 at the position. His good weeks are week-winners. He is like having a top RB1 and a WR2/3 plugged in at a single position.

Based on acquiring Bell - you're giving the 1.01, plus what will def be a very late first, and your IDP guys. I play IDP. I own Bell in several leagues. I would never trade Bell for just that package. Get him.

[Phaded]

I would go with Bell pretty easily.

I play IDP - while Mack is great; I don't think it'll always translate statistically.
Myles Jack is borderline replacement level as an LB.

[ESKAY]

I don’t think you should have to give up your 2018 first. No deal unless he lets you keep it

[dhanks91]

Thats a lot for Bell, but if your in a championship race then why not? Your team is young enough in a lot of places that you can offset losing the 1.01. I'd still try and add another rb though

[ddog2303]

To me this comes down to how many IDP starters you guys employ. Since you guys only start two at each position this is easier to take Bell. If you guys had deeper starting requirements for IDP, the better players have much more value. I'm torn on this to be honest because I’m a Barkley believer and you can add him while keeping everything else. I’d be okay with either choice here though.

Watching Bell singlehandey win playoff games tonight and curious if you temprarily insane Bell naysayers care to comment?

I own Bell in 3 leagues. I have a playoff bye this week in all three leagues.

When you have a chance to get Bell... Get Bell.
