Been offered a trade and need some advice. Situation is I am 5-2 and in 1st place in my division. Very solid at RB and WR.

RB's are...
Westbrook
W. Dunn
C. Taylor
T. Bell

I am being offered Gates for Bell and McMichael. With Gates at TE it would give me a starting line up of S. Smith, R. Wayne, Westbrook, Gates and Dunn or Taylor depending on match up.

Any thoughts?

I think I speak for everyone when I say, what's the problem?

I don't think there could possibly be a bigger "no-brainer" trade in FF.

You should accept that trade promptly before he realizes what a foolish move he is making.

Thanks Italia,

I'm just having a problem because I don't want to mess up a good thing. You know the, if it's not broke don't fix it philosophy.

Considering that barring injury, Bell will be riding your bench pretty much every week and that Gates is a big improvement over McMichael, I'd probably take that trade. Maybe try to get one of his backup rb's to even it out.

And that is a good philosophy to follow. But given this opportunity, grabbing Gates will solidify that already strong lineup you have. Too good to pass on.

Grab Gates and run.

But I think others in your league will void that trade. Unless this guy is thin at running back, it seems like a loopsided trade.
