Would you make this Trade

Would you make this Trade or sit tight with the team I have.

I'm 3-5 in a 10 team PPR league.

 

He wants Benson, Jacobs and Warner

for Chris Johnson, Slayton and Bell.

 

I already have,

Breese, Warner.

Benson, Jacobs, Mendenhall, J. Jones, B. Wells, J Charles.

R. Wayne, TJ House, Cal. Johnson, D. Henderson.

D. Clark.

Keading.

GB, NYG.

I would counter with Jacobs and Warner for CJ straight up. I dont like the original deal. It costs you too much at RB for an incremental upgrade from Benson to CJ which is not a certainty. However, CJ over Jacobs is IMO.

 

BTW...any trades you consider should really be focused on improving your WRs.

That's actually a tough one.

 

You already have some pretty nice depth at RB, and especially in PPR, Charles could end up being huge for you. however, the RBs you're getting in return could be studs, and Slaton rebounding would just be a plus. So you'd be left with:

 

C. Johnson, Mendenhall, Slaton, J. Charles, B. Wells, J. Jones (in that order for me)

 

It's a pretty decent upgrade on paper, but Benson has been performing just fine, and you lose a valuable backup/rotating QB. If you play flex, I might see a reason to make this deal, but if you play 3WRs then that should be your biggest concern. Either way, it's an upgrade, but I don't know if it's that much of an upgrade, considering you only start 2/3 RBs a week, and would be relying on Brees to stay healthy.

 

Maybe drop a RB out of the deal (Slaton or Bell) for a lesser backup QB Then I think you'd be in good shape
