Trade CJ4.24? WHIR

[Ek]

Ok, I've been offered the following trade:

(My) Chris Johnson for (his) Michael Turner, Rashard Mendenhall, and Terrell Owens. Should I take it? My roster at the moment (start QB 2RB 2WR WR/RB TE K D, .4 PPR, 3 keepers):

QB - Brady, Stafford, Bulger (likely to drop Stafford and Bulger; had picked them up for bye week).
RB - CJ, Marshawn Lynch, Portis, Julius Jones, Beanie Wells, Jamaal Charles
WR - Welker, Houshmanzadeh, Avery
TE - Olsen
K- Feely
D - Chicago

My initial thought is that this trade gives me a little more depth, but I am not sure if it makes my (healthy/no byes) starting lineup improve at all (and after next week, I won't have any starters with byes). I'm also not sure what it would do to my keeper situation...I'm 5-3 however, so I'm more focused on this year.

im having the same questions with mendenhall...he will likely be the featured back next year as willie parker will be a free agent after this year, and turner is the featured back in atlanta, but hes not been the same.

Since your in a keeper league, it just gives you more options at picking your keepers.

I kind of agree...as of now, I'd be likely to keep CJ, Brady, and someone from the Welker/Lynch/Wells/Charles (if the latter two are starters next year) group. Post-trade, I'd have Turner, Mendenhall, and Brady, plus everyone from the last group listed for next year. That said, Johnson is probably the best keeper prospect from that entire list.
