Gates for Bell and Shockey

I've got Antonia Gates and someone is offering me Mike Bell (NO RB) and Jeremy Shockey for him. I need another RB. My team pre-trade: QB: Romo RB:Michael Turner RB:Ahmad Bradshaw FLEX:Ted Ginn WR:Boldin WR: Kevin Walter TE: Gates D: Dolphins K: Robbie Gould Bench: Hasselbeck Norwood Burleson Brent Celek (TE) Duckett Pierre Garcon Davone Bess (it's a 16 team league, that's one reason why the depth is pathetic.) So what do you think? Is Bell going to be the #1 back long enough to make this worth it? Is Shockey going to have a good season? I'm inclined to not make the trade but I do need another back.

Yes, make the trade

No, you are stupid

I wouldnt do it. Shockey is a disappointment every year and Bell will be a backup soon. Keep Gates.

yeah, that's what I was thinking. Always good to get confirmation from the 'zone.

Pierre Thomas will most likely be out for one week. Mike Bell will only see some action week 1 while Thomas nurses his injury.

Bell is virtually worthless. You're giving up too much for a backup RB in a 3-RB rotation.
