James Hill III
Should I trade Le'Veon Bell for Eddie Lacy? (12 Team, 1 PPR)
Here's my team:

QB - Colin Kaepernick
RB - Bell, Pierre Thomas, Jeremy Hill, Ahmad Bradshaw
WR - Demariyus Thomas, Alshon Jeffery, Michael Crabtree, Kendall Wright, Dwayne Bowe, Josh Gordon
TE - Rob Gronkowski, Tim Wright
K - Dan Bailey
D/ST - Denver Broncos

I proposed this around Week 1 (he also has Randall Cobb and just traded for Arian Foster to match Andre Johnson) and he was interested to try spreading out his roster instead of having a bunch on the same teams, but then Lacy got concussed. Meanwhile, Bell has looked very good indeed and I'm more hesitant on the deal...my first round pick was a coin flip between Thomas and Lacy and I've basically been trying to get him ever since but I'd hate to give up an ascending Bell. Thoughts?

The other players are included because the previous trade had included DeAndre Hopkins on his team and Dwayne Bowe on mine, dunno if that would still stand.

    I wouldnt do the trade. I would instead see if you can package PT & another WR for Lacy. RIght now, Bradshaw looks to be your #2 RB

    Realized I hadn't updated here; ultimately kept Bell. Traded Jeffery, Bradshaw and Bowe for Lacy, Andre Johnson and the 49ers D. I haven't lost a matchup since that trade, and just recently spun Bell and Johnson for Antonio Brown (I also now have Justin Forsett and Ronnie Hillman so RB depth was no longer an issue). Thanks for the help!

    In a PPR, I think many made an argument for Le'Veon Bell over Eddie Lacy in the preseason. Now that the season started and we've seen how much Bell is being used (especially in the passing game), I think Bell is the much more valuable fantasy player. So, stick with what you have.

    I would not do the trade, because Bell is a beast in PPR. He consistently gets at least 4 or 5 catches a game, and provides a very solid floor. I do have to say that Lacy is a good buy-low candidate, since he only put up a total of nine points the past two weeks. However, I would not trade away Bell in PPR, and if you do decide to get Lacy, you should definitely try to get another good player in the deal.
