Samuels still has no value for this year, and very, very little even as a dynasty stash since it will be Conner's backfield next year. In fact, will Bell (supposedly) coming back next week, Samuels is the most likely to return to inactive status.

I doubt that Conner will be out next game. He actually went back in the game for a play and then was pulled and castigated on the sidelines by Tomlin for going back in and then sent to the locker. The bigger issue is that Bell is supposed to report for next week, so that will be the bigger concern for Conner's role.

I don't see how injecting Bell back into the Lineup will make the Steelers any better. Conner has replicated, if not surprassed Bell's stats and the Steelers offense has been firing on all cylinders for the past 4-5 weeks. No way Bell is in football game shape right now, and hasn't played a snap since last year. Pittsburg needs to keep their momentum rolling if they want to steal home field from Pats or KC.

Just my opinion on the matter, I'd be very surprised if Bell is used more than change of pace.

That's entirely possible, no one really knows what will happen. In his previous holdouts & suspensions, though, Bell kept himself in top shape and was able to get up to game speed very quickly, so I do expect that he won't report slow & out of shape.

He tweeted yesterday that it's time to pass the sticks, so he's signalling that he's ready to roll.

I had Bell last year and he sat out the preseason. It was game 3 before he was relevant in my scoring. Hopefully he worked out with a college team or something while down in Florida

They eased him in in week 1 last year, but starting in week 2, he had 30+ touches.

Playing my arch rival in FF this week. Of course I'm down AJ Green (toe), Diggs (bye) and I'm left starting Edelman and grabbed Ty Williams off waivers for ceiling potential.

Chubb, Drake or Howard for my flex?

Chubb is in now due to volume. I imagine Drake would the option if I needed ceiling.

I would think Chubb is the ceiling play, and he has a better matchup.

Thanks guys, REpped bstud, on spread with you Jay.

I'll stick with Chubb. He's due for a big game.

**HayZues Christi** · 11-09-2018, 06:14 AM

Big ben/juju/McCaffrey was a nice way to start the week.

**HayZues Christi** · 11-09-2018, 06:34 AM

In the misc money league I am in, the trade deadline was last week.... way too early imo.

My big money league for instance doesn't have a trade deadline. Unless you are mathematically eliminated, you can trade.

When is your leagues trade deadline?

Either week 11 or week 12.

**sandcar3** · 11-09-2018, 08:48 AM

Tomorrow for both my leagues, since they are both on yahoo, I therefore assume that is the yahoo default.

**GingerBrah84** · 11-09-2018, 09:49 AM

ROS who would you rather have

Mixon/Lockett/Godwin
Or
Cook/Howard/Landry

Assuming none of them need to be an every week starter.

**Fiz-iks** · 11-09-2018, 10:30 AM

Which side would you rather have in this:

Thielen - Allen - Cook

or

Michael Thomas - Djax

I like Thielen/Allen/Cook assuming Cook = Dalvin.

Djax will always be homerun or bust.

Yeah Dalvin, not jared lol

**ooph** · 11-09-2018, 10:42 AM

Had Connor and CMC playing last night. Thankfully CMC came through big. For rest of week though, could use some help below...

Pick 2 full ppr:

Tyrell Williams
Mark Ingram
Calvin Ridley
Cobb
Baldwin

Currently leaning Williams and Ridley... Slightly concerned about the fact browns have had solid pass defense this year.

thougts?

**JUGGERNAUT1333** · 11-09-2018, 10:42 AM

Fuk Me, I just looked at my last 3 games for my ESPN league and 2/3 are against the other 7-2 teams (same record as me)

Team 1 has Kamara/Gordon stack

Team 2 has CMC/Barkley

Balls.

I'd keep what you have. I'm desperate and going YOLO rolling out Tyrell hoping for some River's deep bombs.

The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec reports Joe Flacco's (hip) status for Week 11 against the Bengals is "in question."
The severity of the injury is unclear. Jason La Canfora added that Flacco's currently seeking medical opinions and he "could require surgery" or "prolonged rest." This news coincidently comes during the team's bye week, which would seamlessly work as a transition to instill rookie Lamar Jackson under center. Jackson completed 34-of-68 passes for 408 yards, three touchdowns, and one pick on 88 drop backs during the preseason. His fantasy production ultimately derives from his legs, though, which he used to rush for 23/136/3 in the preseason, too. He'll close the year as a viable QB1 for his rushing floor alone.
