    In a keeper league I have been offered James Conner and a 2019 1st round pick for Bell and a 2019 8th round pick. Should I do it?

    Thanks for your input.

    If Bell doesn’t show up tomorrow, I wouldn’t expect him until week 10.

    Yes absolutely. Even if its a keeper and there may not be the typical studs in the 1st. Forget the name on the jersey. You want shares of this offense and this Oline. You do not know where Lev Bell is going to be. In a keeoer league getting the younger Conner and another 1st is a no brainer. Take it before they sober up.

    Short answer: yes

    Long answer: yeeeeeeessssssssss.

    Another 1st round pick in a keeper league vs. a me first, prima donna on the downside of his career? If you want to win now, it's risky. But building long term? Go for it.

    Plus, there's no way of knowing if Bell will be as effective with a different line and system.

    Yes. You almost have too. The Steelers have one of the best O-lines in football. At the end of the day, James Conners season totals wont be far off from what LeVeon would have given you. Your getting a first rounder next season to-boot? Seems like a no brainer to me. At this point Im not sure you ever see Bell in a Steelers uniform again. Just a hunch.
