i have been offered p burress and c benson for j lewis and t williamson. i don't want to give up on j lewis yet. not sure the value of benson and whether burress is really an upgrade.

any help?

Looks like a sucker deal at first glance, but I'd do it. I actually like Burress and have concerns about Lewis. Benson, I think, will get his chance sometime after Week 4. Williamson may not and in any event is on a team that is reeling. The veterans in Minnesota need to get their acts together before anything can be expected out of their rooks. DO IT!!!

holt and mason for Evans and Cadillac

two issues. i don't want to lose cadillac, i think he has some major upside potential. 2nd: i want to keep my depth at running back. thinking of countering with holt and bennet for evans and and another running back.

any comments are welcome.

i definitely don't like giving up Caddy. He's your only performing back right now. You gotta ride him until Dillon and/or Lewis start churning.

I'd try Holt&Mason for Evans & Dillon/Lewis. I think you could part with either Dillon or Lewis and make your WR much stronger.

The Captain is right on. I am kicking myself for taking Arrington instead of Cadillac Williams. Hold on to him.

On the other side of things, you can probably boost your WR production by dangling Lewis. I would rather trade Lewis than Dillon because he is more of a sure thing than Lewis. If Lewis continues to struggle, Chester Taylor is more than ready to take away some touches.

Good luck.
