Trade 5: Le'Veon Wears His War Wound Like A Crown

The 4-0 McFlys and the 0-4 Rum Ham link up for a predictable deal where South Philly ships a premium asset out for a talent infusion. It's a sensible deal for both sides with the results to speak for themselves.

HILL VALLEY ACQUIRES: RB LE'VEON BELL
SOUTH PHILLY ACQUIRES: RB DAVID MONTGOMERY, WR DJ CHARK & LB PRESTON SMITH


The big prize is obviously Bell, the thirteenth overall pick in the draft a month ago. Bell is a marquee talent, but in an underpowered offense his upside may be limited. Still, with a versatile skillset and no other premier weapons to compete with for touches, Bell coming out of his bye week immediately improves the league's top team, teaming with Dalvin Cook to give the team bankable every week starters.

It's been a horror show in South Philly this September, as the team has not won a game, barely scoring at all, and facing possible relegation. Give the Rum Ham credit- they're playing the hand dealt to them and doing what they can to remain relevant, even if they are only scrounging to make the consolation bracket. Montgomery offers a similar floor to Bell, a capable back without  while DJ Chark is no world beater, he's an unquestioned starter for the Rum Ham. Until Tyreek Hill returns, he is the team's primary threat, as sad as that sounds. Preston Smith is a boom/bust sack threat that will be a weekly dice roll.
