I need some advice

So I wasn't able to make it to my FF draft which was today and I ended up with a meh team with great recivers and bad running backs. My starting QB's are Peyton Manning and Rex Grossman(nooooooo!!!!!!!). My deal here is I have 4 great recivers in Marvin Harrison, Tory Holt, Anquan Boldin and Deion Branch and my starting RB's are Caddilac Williams and Jerious Norwood. I just traded Norwood for Ahman Green which was a good deal. Here is what I need help with should I trade 1 of my recivers (most likely down between Boldin and Branch) for another RB like Jamal Lewis, etc or should I ride out with Caddilac (no pun intended).

Also what should i do with Rex, he was bad in the last game against the Colts.

... why trade norwood for green?? norwood is going to have a breakout year... vick is gone and dunn is old and hurt... this is the best situation for a rising RB with his potential and talent...

plus, do a list of your roster.. i don't feel like reading your paragraph and doing the list myself.

QB -
RB -
WR -
..etc...

First off, I can't believe you traded Norwood for Green. Norwood was huge last year when he had the chance to touch the ball and he's going to have a lot more opportunity this year.

Second, I would ride it out with Cadillac unless he would take Branch. All 3 of your other receivers are too much of a threat to put up points to take a risk on a guy like Lewis.

I traded Norwood cause im setting up a deal to get Willie Parker or frank Gore. Also Norwood did had a good year last year but he is a 2nd string (most likely will be a started soon), but I dont feel comfty with the Falcons offensive line and Ahman is a starter and is expected to get more touches than last year.

He's also running behind arguably the worst line in the NFL. Green'll be lucky if he survives with both legs intact after this season.

First off who is going to hand you Gore or Parker? Two of the top 10 RBs in the league. You would have to give up Manning at the very least in any deal of hopes of landing either one.

Also, who is just going to give you McGahee for Boldin or Branch? I think if you would have thrown in Norwood with Boldin it might get considered, but no one is just going to give away a top notch RB for a #2 WR in Boldin and certainly not a #3 WR in Branch. Giving up Norwood because of the OL issue that you claim Atlanta has, wait until you see how bad the OL is in Houston, there is a reason that Davis got hurt and hasn't returned and there's also a good reason that Carr (now gone) has never been able to get the ball down field to arguably one of the best young WRs in the game.
