It's not a horrible trade for you...you go from Desean to Fitz...my only problem with the trade is your lack of RB depth. You have 3 solid starters, but all 3 have big questions to answer this year, and if 1 or 2 fail, even Fitz won't save you.
Are there any serviceable RBs available to pick up?
Or maybe look at trading with someone (even the other manager in this trade) and try to get at least 1RB back in a trade along with a #1 WR.

I agree with this but your depth at RB is significantly better than your depth at WR. I'd do it, your WRs really need help. Then I'd try to find another manager and dump one of those WRs (Bryant/Royal) for another RB.

I meant after he makes the trade...he would only have 3 RBs, and no bench.
The trade itself is fine with me, I would just make sure I can pick up a viable option at RB for bye weeks. If there IS someone out there, I would do the deal, then drop my backup DEF for that RB. Or look for a RB in a trade, along with a big WR.

Willis McGahee is doing pretty well, But I did do the trade. I'll try to pick up a few decent benches

You have seriously fuhk yourself over.
You traded 3 players for 1 and you didn't land a big point position like RB/QB. Even the top most of the top WRs normally only land you 15-20 pts a week. Most likely Fitz will average you 12 or so a week.
You trade off 2 RBs and a WR. Desean Jackson is performing well and when Slaton blows up and starts racking up the yards/TDs then you're gonna be hurting.

yeah McGahee is top 5 in points right for RBs now and DeSean Jackson is #1 for Wide outs atm

Awful trade. You lost depth at RB and didn't really upgrade your WR. Fitz is obv good, but very overrated. He splits targets with Boldin and Breaston. If you look back to last season a few of his big games were when Boldin was out.
But your team is stacked and you'll do fine, but you could have gotten more value.
That's a horrible trade. No way I'd give up 3 for 1.
edit: nm you already did it
