Advice on trade possibility

I have Leveon Bell in a PPR league, 8 team league.  I'm being offered Odell and Jordan Howard for Bell, should I make that deal?  Thanks. 

I wouldn't touch it. Odell missed game 1 and Eli looked terrible, and I read Howard actually had less touches than Tarik Cohen and could face a shared workload this year. Bell had a bad first week but he only rejoined the team recently and hes arguably going to be top-scoring RB now Johnson is done for the season. Its pretty good value-2 top tier players but do you really want to give up the guy you picked probably 2nd or third overall?

Who are your WR? 

I'd be tempted to make that deal, honestly.

Amari Cooper and DeAndre Hopkins in starting lineup. DeVante Parker and Chris Hogan at bench. Other RB is McCaffrey and Ty Montgomery as flex.

Yeah that's why i'm not so sure on making that trade, Odell's injury and plus having Eli as his QB, and Cohen showing he should get most touches.  Know that i've had like all day to think about it, probably way safer bet on sticking with healthy RB who doesn't really share touches.

Hmm. Not the worst trade in the world and I don't know that Cohen will take all that much away from Howard, but Bell is Bell and will get his. I wouldn't blame you for taking it if you did nor would I blame you for declining - totally your call. For PPR I'd personally rather have the stud RB myself and maybe start grabbing guys like Kupp if needed.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
