Looking like it will be bell back next week and by the time the fantasy playoffs roll around a 50/50 split as they transition the lead back role back to bell for the Nfl playoff doesn’t it.

I don’t think they’re taking Conner out of the lead back role. If he struggles, sure. But that O line is beating everyone right now, and the main reason why is the change in blocking style between Conner and Bell

Have Conner and DJ Moore rolling tonight.

Who would y’all rather have as a handcuff for the rest of season in 1PPR?
Austin eckler or spencer Ware. I own neither of the lead backs

Ware. Eckler had his chance when Gordon was out a few weeks ago and he didn’t do that much. Ware has been a good starting RB before

The reason connors is Doing so Good is bc they have a legit wr 2 finally w a healthy Big Ben and healthy brown. When’s the last time those guys didn’t miss a couple games. Ben is always banged up and brown has been hurt too the last couple years missing games and being limited in others. if bell had played all year with this offense and health. Holy shite. if you got connors you got more out of him than you ever could have expected I don’t wanna see any complaining when he isn’t relevant in the fantasy playoffs.

I don’t own Conner, so I’m not actually invested in this. But I definitely give more credit to the blocking style than to Juju being there. Martavis Bryant and Mike Wallace were pretty good too. And you can’t blame Brown’s health, dude has been the top WR for years regardless of any health issues. Ben is also still banged up, check the injury report

The blocking style is the key difference here

You must be a Lev Bell owner

If you own connors and bell, I have sympathy for you when it is 50/50 split come playoffs. You are fricked. You played it right but it didn’t work out.

If you own only connors and no bell, you already got more out of him than anyone could have expected so no complaining. Who wants to win a title like that anyway?

If you own only bell and no connors, you don’t get as much sympathy as the guy who owns both but you did get screwed as well.

I got a squad with connors that’s in good shape to win it all if he keeps the bell cow role. I would not be proud of that title And would ask yahoo if they could keep it on my resume but not display it in my trophy case.

I was formulating a response, but this is already the best of a possible responses.

How is winning a title off the back of Conner any cheaper than people that won with Kamara last year? His reasoning doesn't make sense to me.

I’ve an appreciation for titles won with skill v those win w fluke/luck. if you ride connors as bell cow all the way to the title that is a fluke/luck. Unless of course you own bell too. Bc that woulda been the best move to make at the draft. If you got only connors via waivers in the offseason or whatever nah you don’t get credit for that really. Flukey.

Same kinda goes for Mahomes. If you add mahomes after week 2 you can’t go around beating your chest. You may have won a title but let’s put it in perspective. You didn’t really show off no skill if you knew mahomes was a dog you wouldn’t have waited to week 2 to scoop him.

After you win a trophy case full of these titles you come to prefer the ones that are won with more skill v luck.

Those as opposed to people that will win their league bc they had the top draft pick and took Gurley?

Gurley wasn’t the consensus #1 that’s for sure. If you took gurley he is who you thought he was. Connors is more than anyone could’ve ever expected. If he has run his course you should be happy with what you got.

In what universe does winning a FF Title not require some luck? It's all part of the process
