Le'Veon Bell Trade Question (1 Viewer)

[Hurl Bruce]

Am I trading just to trade here? STD scoring, 12 tm league

I would be getting Bell.

My other WR are Jordy Nelson, Emanuel Sanders, Tyreke Hill, Ted Ginn, and Corey Davis.

what are your other RBs besides Gordon?  Do you start 2 WRs, and is your flex likely to be a WR or another RB?  In a vacuum I say yes, do the deal, it's a classic case of trading depth for studs.  Not necessarily one I would be looking to make in Week 1, but still a good deal

My other RBs are: Mixon, Burkhead, Woodhead, Riddick, Sproles.  Reads like a PPR roster.

I didn't seek out the deal.  The Bell owner was sitting with Davante Adams as his WR1.  I figured I could handle the downgrade with Coleman while getting the updgrade at RB and TE.

We start 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 flex.

You've got the depth, I'd say yes to it.  Like I said, it's a depth for studs kind of deal.  you go from starting Gordon Mixon Jordy Cooper Sanders Graham to now starting Bell Mixon Jordy Sanders Hill Kelce.   Obviously Bell > Gordon is an improvement, and I'd say you're getting plenty enough from Bell and Kelce upgrades to offset the change from Cooper to Hill at flex.   Do it.

Absolutely make that trade.  Bell is a significant upgrade to Gordon and Kelce is over Graham as well.  You have the WR depth to easily part with Cooper and Coleman could have a breakout year.

 

[battlestar]

Make the trade.  You are right in thinking the upgrade to Bell and Kielce is worth it, in my opinion.

 

[Hurl Bruce]

Just finalized the deal.  Pretty happy.  I don't usually make pre-season deals, but he approached me.
