Evaluate this fantasy football trade.?

I was offered Andre Ellington and Mike Wallace for Chris Johnson. It's a ppr league. I already accepted it but just wanted to know if it was good. After the trade my running backs are Jamaal Charles, Arian Foster, Andre Ellington, Toby Gerheart. Wide receivers Randall Cobb, Vincent Jackson, Mike Wallace Eric Decker, Jeremy Maclin, Hakeem Nicks, and Justin Hunter. If Arizona uses Ellington like they want I think it was a steak.

    A lot of experts expect 300 touches for Ellington..

    You TRADE RAPED your opponent.

    You now have an amazing RB stable.

    From a value standpoint, of course it's a steal. Ellington is ranked a lot higher than CJ and there are valid reasons for this. However, it doesn't help your bigger problem. You're insane at RB, because you have 4 every down RBs. It has to be the best RB corps in your league.

    At WR, you have depth, but a big quality problem. Cobb is a low end WR1, VJ is ok, and after that you don't much in the way of upside.

    This won't be hard to fix, though. You want some kind of combo deal where you cough up one of your b/u RBs and any WR after the first 2. In exchange, you want a much better WR and an RB with some kind of potential, like one of the 2 guys in Miami. Or one of the NE RBs.

    Just don't undervalue the RB you give up. If it's Gerhart, look at a couple ranking sites and find the WRs going around the same time. Don't accept less than this, because starting RBs are more valuable .

    Not just yes, but hell yes! Johnson isn't the back he was 5 years ago; at this point, he's playing only for the paycheck. He's going to split touches with Powell and Ivory while Arians is talking about getting Ellington 25-30 touches a game, and getting the ball to him in space. I expect Ellington to have a big year, and a much better year than Johnson.

    Wallace doesn't impress me but I'd still take this offer in a heartbeat.

    Considering Ellington was chosen ahead of Johnson in almost every draft, it makes no sense. The other guy could have taken Ellington if he wanted him.

    And it won't be a steak, unless you think Ellington is cooked.

    I would've taken that trade in a heartbeat. Johnson is on the down side of his career and he doesn't have much in the tank. I think the guy overvalued Johnson.

    if you get Ellington and Wallace you are rapping your opp.

    Johnson will frustrate the heck out of all teams this year. He is in a RBBC
