Yes it deepens your RB core but Turner will yield almost nothing in PPR. It would also shrink your depth at WR outside of Jones. While I like this trade a lot in TD heavy leagues, If your league only rewards 4pts for TD's I would not make it. If your league scores 6 and you add in Staffords injury, I would pull the trigger on it.

Please look at mine

IMO, this is no-brainer. Take Turner and don't think twice with the WRs you already have and Stafford going down (although Hill tossed it CJ's way a lot).

I think Dez will become an impact player quickly, and with Boldin and Bowe (on an improved KC offense), I think you should be fine there. The upgrade from Forte to Turner as your RB1/2 is huge, as I see Forte being pretty inconsistent Fantasy-wise with that terrible O-Line and Chester Taylor around. As a flex, he's an awesome play.

EDIT: Just saw that Dez was included as well. That changes things, but I still think the upgrade at RB outweighs the loss at WR. If you could have him throw in a mid-range WR in return, it's again a no-brainer.

I'm not as sold on this trade as the others. Hill targeted Johnson plenty, and Dallas is obviously in love with Byrant, so in a PPR league, both players can be counted on to produce good numbers. Turner is a gamble, his only real upside is that he is one of the few every-down backs in the league. I think Forte is going to return to form, even with Taylor breathing over his shoulder, but then again I think Houston is crazy about Jones, so he could help absorb the loss of Johnson and Bryant.

It really comes down to how you feel about whether or not Turner can return to form.
