I'm a Jets fan so take this with a grain of salt but I like him more than Schaub this year. Called him being a top 10 QB before the season, sticking to it. The WR is a debateable downgrade, Colston had a good week but I think that's sort of a push there. I like Turner a lot more than Benson and really the RBs in this trade are what matter, everything else is very close. I say do it just because of the upgrade at RB. You have Harvin whose value is upgraded so your WRs aren't bad. Also you have LT at flex, probably feels good.

if sanchez was your starter, this deal would be a little more worrisome as i'm not positive schaub will get back to his 2009 stats, but with the safety net of ryan, i think you have to make this deal on the chance that sanchez's numbers do decline.

turner for benson is a big upgrade in my opinion, enough to make this deal even with your really mediocre receiver core. in the end though, you get out of this deal with the better end and could likely swing schaub for a stud wide.

I would do it as well. Like the others have said, Turner is an upgrade over Benson plus Benson's schedule looks to be a little tougher. I think Schaub will get it together and start putting up solid numbers again as long as AJ's ankle doesn't keep him out anymore. I would much rather have Schaub than Sanchez.

I really do think that now is the time to buy low on Schaub. As others have said, mostly because of Arian Foster, I don't see him getting back to last year's stats, but he's still a QB1 throwing to Andre Johnson.

Turner for Benson's a HUGE upgrade, and I like Harvin enough coming out of the slot that I don't think you miss Colston TOO much. I say pull the trigger.

Oh boy, tough one here. Basically what I would do in this situation is look at the upcoming matchups for all of those players and look at their [fantasy] playoff schedule. Hines Ward overall will do better now that Ben R. is back and Turner appears to have shown sparks with last weeks performance.

I see it as a definite upgrade at RB, a probable upgrade at QB, and a possible upgrade at WR... with Big Ben coming back and New Orleans struggling and having so many weapons they are impossible to predict. So I'd take it.
