    I will side slightly to who you are giving up rather than who you are getting
    who would have thought CB would be a top 5 fantasy back

    Hmmm... tough one there

    Look at the rest of their team's schedule

    Benson has to play Baltimore twice, @ Pit w/ Polomalu, Oak who is not bad, @ Minn, @ Jets

    Forte has CIN, @ SF, @MN, @BAL, and MN.

    Benson does not get the receptions that Forte does and he is at a high right now. I don't think Cin is for real and the opposing defenses will stop the run.

    Calvin will only get better as Stafford improves.
    I have Forte and Johnson on my team and know Forte will get points

    I just cant pull the trigger on it.

    I feel like Megatron ends up with better numbers than Smith, and I dont think Benson and Fortes numbers will be to far off from each other.

    Not to mention Megatron is 1 of my favorite players, and just cant bring myself to trade him for such an even trade.. Needs to be more one sided.

    sorry i didn't see that it was a standard league......i think forte improves rapidly in the coming weeks......and steve smith will get back to averaging 100 yards a game......but i would still probably stand pat on this.....cedric benson is the real deal this yr.......i think benson and forte are going to put up similar numbers from here on out.....smith will have probably end up w/ more yards than calvin.....but calvin should catch about 4-5 more td's than smith so i would just stay put....especially if the megatron is ur boy.
