Hello, I have been trying to trade away Chris Johnson for Larry Fitzgerald and Nate Washington. He also has Brandon Marshall and may go with Marshall and Washington for CJ and one of my WR. Below is my team and also his team. He doesn't seem to want to give up Fitzgerald. I am pretty good on RBs right now but I dont have a solid WR, which is why I am trying to make the trade and he is lacking in RB but is only interested in CJ and Mathews. CJ has been a letdown but I know his upside is very high, but I am losing games leaving him in the roster and too worried to bench him because he could go off at any moment. Let me know what you think about the trade and maybe if there is better one. Thanks guys.

My team: 0-3
QB: Drew Brees
RB: Chris Johnson, Felix Jones, Ryan Mathews, Willis McGahee, Mike Tolbert
WR: Mike Thomas, Robert Meachem, David Nelson, Percy Harvin, Sidney Rice, Torrey Smith
TE: Jeff King
K: Sebastian Janikowski
Def: Packers

His Team 2-1
QB: Matthew Stafford, Michael Vick, Kevin Kolb
RB: Joseph Addai, Steven Jackson, Isaac Redman
WR: Larry Fitzgerald, Brandon Marshall, Nate Washington, Nate Burleson, Johnny Knox
TE: Jason Witten, Greg Olsen
K: Neil Rackers
Def: Ravens

I would do the deal for Fitz/Marshall and Nate. CJ does have a high upside, but at this point you may not even start him some weeks, whereas both of those WRs will be plugged immediately into ur lineup.

He will want one of my WR right now, which should I give to him, or does it really matter since I will be starting Marshall/Washington most often. Maybe Sidney Rice?

counter with cj for sjax and nate....u are light at rb imo....then u could roll with sjax and mathews

Anyone else have any ideas for trades? Or should I just stick with CJ and try to deal McGahee or Felix Jones to another person for a solid WR?

You are not going to get very much for McGahee or Felix.... If I was a CJ owner I would probably wait and hope for the best, or try to wait for him to do something then trade him. If you could get a deal like that other guy then maybe it would be different. There needs to be a starting RB coming back your way in the trade IMO.
