Pretty Easy Trade, Yes (FF newb)?

[Schneids]

Today I received an offer of trading away WR Andre Johnson (Hou), and receiving RB Kevan Barlow (SF).

As it is, my team's WRs are currently:
M Harrison (Ind), D Branch (NE), K Curtis (StL), and A Toomer (NYG). So, I have pretty good depth there, though part of me wants to see if Johnson ever realizes the huge upside he has and I'm afraid of letting this guy gain some depth at WR, and Barlow is getting zero play time from him already (I'm tied for first at 6-2, he's right behind at 5-3).


My RBs are currently: W McGahee (Buf), C Williams (TB), M Anderson (Den), and P Pass (NE). This trade would be especially helpful this week since McGahee and Anderson both have byes.

His WRs are S Moss (Wash), D Driver (GB), D Givens (NE), K Johnson (Dal), and L Evans (Buf) and his RBs are C Portis (Wash), D Davis (Hou), and T Fisher (GB).

Our 12-team league starts 3 WRs and 2 RBs, so WR depth is a little more important, though I think this trade cripples him at RB if anyone gets injured.

More importantly, you have some injury protection as well. I also like the trade. I've had plenty of players throughout the years that I hung onto too long into the season, hoping they would suddenly break out. But in football, that often doesn't happen. It's not like Houston's O-Line is all of the sudden going to get good, or Johnson will get back to 100% health.
