Feedback Needed: Blockbuster Fantasy Trade

I get:

Miles Austin
Steelers D/ST

They get:

Arian Foster
49ers D/ST
Jacoby Jones
John Carlson

*This is a PPR league. The only player not on my bench in that trade is the 49ers D/ST. What do you guys think? Should I pull the trigger?

My team would be as follows if I did the trade.

QB - Rodgers
RB - Benson
RB/WR R. Bush or M. Floyd
WR - Miles Austin
WR - DeSean Jackson
TE - Vernon Davis
D/ST - Steelers or NYG
K - Rackers

Remaining Bench:

James Jones
Mike Thomas
Dexter McCluster
Bernard Scott (Benson Handcuff)
**I would add Orton from Waivers
**I would add Nate Washington from Waivers

looks like he got one hell of a deal, but if you said those are all of your bench players then it seems solid for both.

I believe it seems fair for both teams too. We lose some depth, they lose their best WR. When I look at their team, I think they might have hurt themselves because their best WR is now Jeremy Maclin.

far from block buster.

Don't like the trade for you personally. In PPR i'd prefer Foster over Benson. You should have dropped the 2 throw ins regardless of this trade. With the RB/WR flex spot instead of a 2nd RB spot the positions is moot. He stands to get the better 2 players out of this deal.
Blockbuster?
You're getting Miles Austin, who is a flat out stud. Do it.

I was starting to think that wasn't the case until I read your post. I thought he was the surest thing in the trade, far and away.
2 to 1 trades are always a loss for the person giving up 2

This is absolutely true when one guy is getting 1 stud for 2 middling players. That just about always benefits the person getting the great player.
