10 team, standard scoring dynasty league, currently 4-1 atop my division

My team as it stands today:
QB: RG3, VIck
RB: Lynch, Charles, Fred Jackson, Spiller, William Powell
WR: Julio, Welker, Colston, Steve Smith (CAR), Andre Roberts, Avery
TE: Vernon Davis, Daniels
K: Walsh
DEF: MIN
IDP: D’Qwell

I’m being offered Ray Rice and Dez Bryant for Julio and Spiller.

I’m thinking I will either turn down that trade OR counter offer with something like: Ray Rice and Victor Cruz for Julio and Spiller

What do you guys think? What would you do?

Rice is a more reliable RB option than Spiller that’s for sure. Dez Bryant is a down grade from Julio but Jones is still raw, still drops balls, and comes up with games that make you wonder why have him. But it’s only his second season. In a keeper league I think you can give up Spiller. Now if You can draw him into offering Cruz than you jump on that right away. Bryant is… well, he just needs help and focus. It’s a fair value for value trade and I’d say it’s lopsided in your favor, Cruz would be robbing the guy, but if you can pull it off, do it. Just know you might have to come back to the original trade if you really want Rice.

Thanks Ernie. I’d kinda like to have another option for Marshawn since he plays the Niners on championship week.

And it’s good you’re thinking that far ahead. Rice is certainly an upgrade, and worth it as long as you don’t give the entire Ark for him. In this trade it looks like you’re in control, it’s just a matter of knowing how much can get in addition to Rice.

Jeremy Maclin (I figured buy low here)

To Him

Julio Jones
Marques Colston (I figured sell high here)
