Hey guys, I need some help with this trade:
I receive VJax, Welker, and Ellington for Lacy, Edelman and James Jones.

My team
QB: Rodgers
RBS: Bernard, Jennings, Lacy, Gerhart, Asiata, and McKinnon
WRS: Edelman, Hopkins, Wright, Jones, and wheaton
TE: walker

12 Teams 1/2 point PPR. I know this next week will be tough with Bernard, Welker, and Ellington on bye. Thoughts?

What are your required starting

starting positions

1 QB, 2WR, 2RB, 1 TE, 1 FLEX (WR/RB), 1 DEF.

Tough call.

First off, you are trading lacy at his low point. I wasn't high on him coming into the season, but he has faced 3 really good defenses. He's not the kind of RB that's going to put up fantasy stats regardless of opponent because he doesn't get a lot of catches and they throw a ton, but he will get better. Ellington scares me with the foot.

I like welker, but I'd say there's a better chance he gets concussed again than him playing the rest of the season. Jones does nothign for me and Edelman, while not a household name, is a really good WR2.

I don't like this trade.

For the same reason Kmed explained. Also, your weakness is at WR. You can take Lacy and Edelman and get a legit WR1 or WR2 with WR1 potential. I can see a Lacy for Edelman for Antonio Brown/Randall Cobb trade.

Wait until Lacy has a good game

and then trade him.

What about VJax?

I like him with Glennon back at qb. He threw to a lot him last year.
