Peyton Hillis for Run DMC/Steven Johnson

[liquidvet]

Team that is 11-0 in my league wants trade DMC/Johnson for Hillis. I am 6-5 yet in second place. Do I make this trade? He wants a more consistent running back (1 point ppr league, hillis avgs 25 pts). My team

QB Flacco/Cassel
Rb: Turner/McCoy/Hillis/Felix/Blount/D. Bown/Snelling
Wr:Colston/Nicks/Wayne/Knox
Te:Davis

I would make that trade and not look back. Run DMC has possibly the easiest playoff schedule of the top running backs. He plays JAX, DEN, IND. You also have good depth with McCoy and Blount. Not to mention you need Johnson, who has beem a beast in his own right, with Nicks out for a few weeks. I would try to get Bush if possible in case another injury comes but Hillis isn't a guarantee to stay healthy either since he is injury prone, has a punishing running style, and hasn't handled this many touches in his career.
