James Connors value if Bell sits 10 weeks

Postby Dalgrind » Wed Sep 05, 2018 6:41 pm

Drafted Connor in Rd 20 just in case Bell stayed out on principal or came back and got injured right away from missing camp. What does everyone think his value would be if Bell continues his holdout?

Please discuss:
QB - Lance, Winston
RB - CMC, Swift, Walker, Sanders, Robinson
WR - Metcalf, Higgins, Godwin, Thomas, Jeudy, Wilson
TE - (no TE requirement in our league-but flex eligible)

I'd want at least a 1st to begin the conversation. But if I'm contending, I'm gonna hold him since the 19 class is weak at RB, and Conner is already showing well. If I can spare trading him, I'm looking for an early 1st and a depth guy I'm high on. Or maybe trade him for Guice if the owner is sour he lost some expected production for the year.

Wouldn't blame Connor owners asking for a 1st, but I would never pay that for him. Even if Bell sits 8 games, I don't think Connor is the long-term solution at RB for Pit and I'm not convinced he's that good where he'll be putting up RB1 or even 2 numbers.

I'd want a late first but realistically don't expect it at all. I think a second is probably the right price for both side in a potential trade.

I floated the idea of trading Connor to the Bell owner in my league (didn't even talk price) and the owner wasn't the slightest bit interested. He also has Hunt and Fournette, so it's understandable in a way.

Last year when Alex Collins started breaking out people valued him as I'd want a late 1st but I know I wont get that for him, so they settled for 2nds. I feel like Conner will be the same way. He'll be doing well, but for some reason everyone will believe that he'll be replaced, that Bell will find a way to stay in PIT long term, etc. It will depress his value and I'll just hold him if that's the case.

Yeah his value seems to have a really high variance. If he starts 10 weeks for Pitt and shows reasonably well, have to consider the likelihood Pitt rescinds the franchise tag. I have Gurley, Cook, McCaffrey, Coleman and Barber in my keeper (6-player 10 team) league so Connor is a bench luxury. I'll hope he has numbers similar to preseason this week and look to flip him. My league is pretty stingy on trades though, probably only get offered a late 2nd at best.

Exactly. For me, there is no reason as a Connor owner to move him for a second rd pick. I'd rather see how this pans out and if he snags the job long term. I think its premature to say he isn't Pitt's long term RB solution, cause he very well could be. At this stage, I think there is 0% chance Bell is in Pitt next season.

All I know is I snagged Lynch, Connor & a 6th rounder for my 3.9, not too shabby if Connor pans out.
