Stewart for Austin?

[wpiano]

Should I do this trade? His Jonathan Stewart for my Miles Austin. Standard (non-PPR) league.

My Roster
QB Brees
RB Gore
RB C. WIlliams
RB/WR Hester
WR Manningham
WR Driver
WR Austin
TE Winslow
Def Patriots
K Gostkowski
Bench McNabb
Bench McFadden
Bench Holt
Bench L. Moore
Bench R. Bush
Bench J. Harrison

I'm a little hesitant to give up a guy who scored 37 points in one game for a 2nd string running back. Any thoughts?

The rest of his lineup is below.

QB M. Ryan
RB S. Slaton
RB Forte
RB/WR L Washington
WR Berrian
WR Collie
WR Caldwell
TE Gates
DEF Colts
K Keading
Bench B. Marshall
Bench Sproles
Bench 49rs Defense
Bench Flacco
Bench W. Parker
Bench J. Stewart

I countered with Austin for Forte.....am I being to greedy?

I also told him I would consider Stewart for Hester, Holt, or Moore.

I would do it. You need help @ rb. Austin did have a great week but nothing is guaranteed. Please respond to my below post.

I realize I need help at RB, but I'm not sure what value a backup RB like Stewart will add to my squad. He seems to put up stats similar to C. Williams and R. Bush and if that's the case from here on out I would be giving up a potentially top 20 WR for a RB that would just make my weekly start/sit decision at RB more difficult.

Forte seems like a buy low candidate who could be a weekly must start and therefore an upgrade worth giving up Austin's potential for.

Any other thoughts?

If he rejects the Forte for Austin deal should I throw in another WR like Moore, Hester or Holt as well or is that giving too much for a RB who may turn out to be a bust?
