"Fairwell Miami". That's all it took for fantasy owners to become a frenetic Monday – a simple tweet from Le'Veon Bell that contained only these two words, a misspelling and a waving emoji.
Let's be clear. Saying goodbye to Miami, where Bell trains during the off season, does not mean he's going to Pittsburgh. And since Monday afternoon, the Steelers apparently have not been in contact with Bell.
So maybe he shows up this week, maybe not. It does not matter for Thursday's game against the Panthers. If he does not show up by Tuesday November 13, he will not be eligible to play the rest of the season. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Monday that Bell could be a free agent, whether he plays or not this season.
In addition, the Steelers have the option of placing Bell on the exempt list for two weeks and not paying it by doing so. And keep in mind that James Conner was "crushed".
So for clarification, here are the options as we understand them: Bell may be about to report this week. Or he could wait and post the next week before the deadline. When he reports, he can play immediately or not do it. Or the team could put it on the list of exempted. Or he could spend the rest of the season.
Perfectly clear, no? Imagination owners can not prepare for all scenarios. If Bell reports by the next week's deadline, the first thing to consider is how much play time can it expect and when? You can not ignore Conner's performance. It's not just a solid filling job. He actually surpassed what we would have expected from Bell. Think about it: he's been better than Bell.
Compared to Bell's career average, Conner has more yards per game with fewer runs on average, more receptions and receptions per game, more yards per touchdown and more touchdowns. However, Bell still leads career games suspended for marijuana use.
Why would the Steelers be inclined to force Bell into training? Or even in the locker room? Why disrupt a season that advertises well to calm a guy who turned his back on the team, and for what could be a drop in production?
Thus, we cover ourselves with the idea that Conner keeps the job for the rest of the season. We would be willing to send it to another reputable RB – think of Kareem Hunt, at Melvin Gordon's level – only because of the uncertainty. But this uncertainty is not palpable enough to encourage us to sell low.
If we had Bell, now is the time to sell. Others will be excited about the prospect of his return. Cash it.
Move
Nick Mullens QB, 49ers
The rookie split the Raiders in his first action in the NFL. Should be named permanent starter. In deep league or two-quarter format, may be considered this week against the Giants and the 12th week in Tampa Bay.
Joe Flacco QB, Ravens
A not exciting addition, especially with a bye this week, but the upcoming schedule is that of the primo – Bengals, Raiders, Falcons, Chiefs, Buccaneers. Think: It's worth it to let Matthew Stafford add.
John Ross WR, Bengals
With A.J. Green expected to miss several weeks due to an injury at the toe, there will be targets to be inherited in the Bengals' offense. They will not all go to Tyler Boyd.
Maurice Harris WR, Redskins
Was a major goal in the game of Sunday pass – 10 catches, 124 yards. Now that Paul Richardson is away for the season and Jamison Crowder is suffering from an ankle injury that has prevented him from spending four weeks in a row, there is not much left to do.
Move
Alex Collins RB, Ravens
Four touchdowns in the last four games, including one Sunday. But he had only nine races, the Ravens showed once again that they were eager to give up the race. Swap it now while you have a recency bias on your side.
Tevin Coleman RB, Falcons
We had a huge game against the Redskins, thanks to two touchdowns. In the absence of Devonta Freeman, however, he was largely disappointing – his second game, a total of over 100 yards and his first game with several losses. Swap it against Aaron Jones and get a WR upgrade to get started.
Devin Funchess WR, Panthers
Emergence of rookie D.J. Moore, the use of Curtis Samuel, in sophomore, and the return of Greg Olsen, cutting into already limited looks, during a first race.
Jeff Heuerman TE, Broncos
Got 11 targets on Sunday (10 catches, 83 yards, TD) and scored for a second week in a row. He had an average of 3.6 targets before this match. Be careful in pursuing anomalies.
