This is a tough tough call. I have CJ too so I'm aware of his ups and downs this year. Here's the thing with CJ (and one of the things that caused me trepidation when drafting him) he carried the rock an aweful lot last year and whenever any RB has had as many touches as he did last year that back has always had a "down" year after that (there is only 1 exception in the past 25 years and that was LT). CJ is still one hell of a back but in 4 weeks this year he's has one week with zero points for me and one week with one point for me to go along with 2 very good weeks. CJ is an upgrade over Turner but it probably won't be as lopsided as many expect if you are expecting what they did last year to continue this year.
Your real issue here becomes that if you trade Ausin then you are only left with Maclin as a viable WR option. You would have to hope that he continues to play as the same level he did when Vick was his QB now with Kolb as his QB (Vick has torn cartiledge in his chest). Personally, I don't think Maclin would have maintained his scoring even with Vick at the helm and now with Kolb, I see him averaging about 4 points a week from here on out (unless you are in a ppr league then make it 7-8 points). That's not very much.
From here on out I personally like Turner + Austin over CJ + Maclin, but that's just me.
do not do this deal turner and austin are studs, and while cj is definatley a top 2 rb your lineup would be better with austin and turner i agree try turner and maclin because kolb being the qb again brings down maclin's value. if he doesn't take it dont worry you have the better team and have no need to make a trade
