Blind bid for James Conner (1 Viewer)

What have people paid for Conner in blind bidding this week?  I am thinking of making a big bid...in hopes of bell continuing to hold out orvpull a trade with Bell owner.

Normally I'd say he's enough of a potential gamchanger to drop 60-70% on him.

But your league had him available despite the widely-reported news of Bell's holdout in the run-up to week 1.  So unless your league locked waivers at draft time, it seems likely your leaguemates don't pay attention as much as they should, so maybe you could get him for 30-40%?

All of it, son.

He wasn't available in our fantasy league but I would put his value somewhere around 50-70 % of bidding dollars. If you are the Bell owner I would probably go all in for 100%.  The thing is that if Bell comes back where is the value? But I wouldn't be surprised to see him out all year.  That uncertainty though makes this more difficult to gauge.

For comparison, however, Phillip Lindsay went for 100%. So it might take that if you really want to be sure.

Waivers were locked week 1

This, try to cheat too. If you started with blind bid dollars that = 100, then bid 102.

Yup, all of it. Look at it almost like bidding for Kamara or Gurley. That’s the kind of production you’re essentially getting. For most likely 10 weeks.

Yeah obviously the big question is when and if bell returns which no one knows

It would be worth a shot lol. I still remember when I lost a blind bid similar to this years ago. Dynasty start up and we did it right after the NFL draft and locked free agents until after week 1. Some guy named Alfred Morris was in the just sitting there. 3 of us bid 100 dollars on him and I lost the tie breakers. That same guy that got him beat me in the title game by like 5 points that year and Morris had like 110 yards and a touchdown.
