I'm in a 12 man dynasty keeper league with an auction draft. We have $100 to play with and keep as many players as we want as long as their total contracts stay under $100 leaving room to fill up our remaning 22 man roster at the draft.

My roster looks like

Schaub
Manning

Moreno
Wells
Grant
Delone Carter

Djax
Bowe
Rice
Bess
Crayton
Meachum
Hester

For Bowe, I'm being offered Benson, Crabtree and two supplemental draft picks (after the normal draft, we draft college players). Bowe would end up being his #1 and he's not willing to give up any other RB's. Would you trade for a hurt WR and an aging RB to gain depth at RB? For dynasty purposes, is Crabtree going to be worth holding onto?

Thanks!

I wouldn't do it. it would hurt your team in WR strength more than help your RB situation. and benson is probably in his last year of fantasy relevancy. hard to say about crabtree, but right now his situation is pretty bad, and i wouldn't want to be carrying the dead weight and waiting it out.

I agree I wouldn't do it. Not worth the risk on losing Bowe, he can put up big numbers. There will be other RB's down the line that will end up needing to fill in for injured #1's. Let him keep the jailer and the injured crybaby.

I would pass, Crabtree has potential, but the SF Passing game is a concern in general. Benson is without a QB which will put 8-9 in the box against Cincy all year long. Benson may get 300 attemps but likely will average 3 YPC.
