Earlier I created a post asking whether to trade Cedric Benson and Wes Welker for Randy Moss. I don't think the other owner will take this trade. Now I am considering offering Marques Colston and Cedric Benson for Randy Moss. I will then use Leon Washington in the flex replacing Cedric Benson (my starting RB are S Jax and Westy). This will give me the Patriots WR duo for the season. I know the Pats bye week I will have to start Kevin Walter and Steve Breaston but I will gladly take one loss to have the Moss/Welker duo. Is this a good trade for me?
12-team PPR QB: Cam Newton, Andrew Luck RB: Lesean McCoy, Darren Sproles, Marcel Reece, James Starks WR: Percy Harvin, Julio Jones, Eric Decker, Randall Cobb TE: Aaron Hernandez, Brandon Meyers D/ST: Rams (streaming) K: Matt Bryant
We start 2 WR, 2 RB, and 1 flex (WR/RB) I have: RB: Steven Jackson, Brian Westbrook, Cedric Benson, Leon Washington, Chester Taylor WR: Colston, Welker, Kevin Walter, Steve Breaston
He has: RB: Steve Slaton, LenDale White, Ahmad Bradshaw, Mike Bell WR: Randy Moss, Hines Ward, Torry Holt
12-team PPR QB: Cam Newton, Andrew Luck RB: Lesean McCoy, Darren Sproles, Marcel Reece, James Starks WR: Percy Harvin, Julio Jones, Eric Decker, Randall Cobb TE: Aaron Hernandez, Brandon Meyers D/ST: Rams (streaming) K: Matt Bryant
Well, it will depend on your scoring system, but basically it comes down to the tradeoff from Benson to Washington versus Colston to Moss. If your league counts return yards, then do it in a heartbeat. I'm not sure if the other owner will accept though (I don't think I would).

I would definitely trade Colston and Benson for Moss. Benson will rack up some points, as will Colston but I don't expect Colston to be super consistent considering the amount of weapons at Brees' exposal. Moss is an elite talent and whenever you don't have to trade elite talent to get it I say do it.
You realize there is no way that dude trades away Randy Moss for Colston right? Cedric Benson is borderline worthless. Colston got lucky with a TD pass and had like 30 yards. Moss had another 100+ game.
