I dunno, I probably say no cus DMC if healthy in my mind is better than Foster, Ray Rice, and alot of guys. Gates is the only stud at te which is a bonus but you do not have enough depth. Ask for Ronnie Brown and Gates for DMC and hernandez, and then go get ricky williams, and you might get lucky in miami.

I would do it if I were you. Gates is three steps above any other TE in the league, so from here on out, you'll have a huge advantage over anyone you play at that position. And as the byes are winding down, your need for depth is not as important. I think what you gain in TE production will more than make up for what you lose in DMC. Once Addai returns healthy, him and Steven Jackson will be fine for you at RB. And your receivers are good enough to start one of them in the flex every week. Plus, with DMC's injury past, he could be gone for the season at any point. I think you sell high, and Gates is about as high as you can get.

Thanks for help on mine.

I say go for Gates. I agree that DMC has some long-term value. He needs a quality RB any chance he would go for Addai instead? I don't trust him through the season. He's just as injury prone (if not more) than DMC, but he's older. If not straight up for Addai, then maybe Addai and Hernandez - you can sell him on having Pettigrew and Hernandez and playing the matchups each week.
