RB3: Ray Rice

RB5: Ahmad Bradshaw
RB6: Donald Brown
TE1: Jason Witten
TE2: Kellen Winslow
K: Lawrence Tynes
DEF1: Giants
DEF2: Jets
*Also have an open roster spot.

Cliff Levingston is basically set everywhere except for RB2. Would like a rock solid option there that i can count on to produce, but obviously with Westbrook being hurt, Rice sharing carries and Lynch just coming back to football right now, that's not on the roster right now.

Trade 1: Westbrook + Rice + Marshall for Chris Johnson + Reggie Bush
- Cliff Levingston's trade counterpart is really bad at WR; his #1 is TO, followed by Eddie Royal, Bernard Berrian, Derrick Mason and Steve Breaston. He also has Brandon Jacobs; not sure Cliff Levingston would offer this package for him, but would replace Westbrook with Lynch.

Trade 2: Rice + Marshall + Winslow for Slaton + Celek.
- His team's 2 tight ends are on bye this week and he sat Slaton last week. He's also been playing Devery Henderson at WR or W/R Flex the last couple weeks.

Trade 3: Donald Brown + Brandon Marshall for Cedric Benson
- He hasn't been playing Benson and his receivers aren't all that good.

Trade 4: Donald Brown + Brandon Marshall for LeSean McCoy + Braylon Edwards.
- He's got Addai, Cliff Levingston has Westbrook, and he's been playing Edwards at the W/R flex spot the last 3 weeks.

Trade 5 (not proposed yet): Rice + McNabb for Kevin Smith
- He's got LT and Gore both hurt, along with possibly Smith, so he's got Grant and Sproles in there... along with no backup QB.

I like the Kevin Smith one...

You know what, I like #1 and #2 as well.
I don't like #3 too much and am so-so on #4.

I would do what you can to get Chris Johnson. The deal with Bush is pretty good, but Bush wont do much for you at all. You could try and package Witten in a deal, he has great name recognition and IMO there isnt a big dropoff from him to Winslow, the NFL is really deep with good TE's.
