YAFFT: Football Trade: Good or Bad?

I give:
Onterio Smith (Min - RB)

I get:
Ashley Lelie (Den - WR)

My Team:

Starting:
Aaron Brooks (NO - QB)
Hines Ward (Pit - WR)
Keyshawn Johnson (Dal - WR)
Larry Fitzgerald (Ari - WR)
Kevan Barlow (SF - RB)
Curtis Martin (NYJ - RB)
Eric Johnson (SF - TE)

Bench:
Jake Delhomme (Car - QB)
Aaron Stecker (NO - RB)
Onterio Smith (Min - RB)
Lee Suggs (Cle - RB)
Jerome Bettis (Pit - RB)

Please note how my bench is a QB and 4 RBs. I will probably be dropping Bettis as Week 1 was probably a fluke, pick up a backup kicker/defense. But I think I have enough RB depth to give up Onterio Smith (a solid performer) to get a replacement for Fitzgerald until he starts to blossom.

Good trade? Bad trade?
 
Wasn't O. Smith supposed to be suspended soon for a failed drug test or something like that? If so, then I'd say good deal, but I would research that situation more.
 
Smith will miss 4 games, but he's the main man until Bennett and Williams come back. Lelie has been a bust so far this year. Your RBs are kinda weak, so I'd say keep Smith.
 
Bennett will be coming back after the Vikings bye. So I don't expect Smith to bounce back after the four game suspension.

Lelie caught a TD pass and he's learning the ins and outs of the system.

As for my RBs being weak. Curtis Martin is the #1 RB in the league so far and Barlow is #12. In a 14 team league, having two top 15 RBs isn't that bad.

 
I'm not a huge fan of that trade at all. Smith is a potential stud, depending how the whole suspension and Bennet situation works out. Lelie could be ok but I don't see him being a stud. Besides WR are easier to come by than RB in my opinion so you could have picked up the flavor of the week WR off free agent list (most likely, though depends on league and # of teams).

I guess on the other hand Smith could go back to splitting time in the minny backfield when bennet comes back and smith's suspension is over. I'm a fan of having plenty of RB though but you do have stecker for the short term backup and Suggs should be a decent long term backup.

To sum up: Don't like it much but it's probablyy just my philosophy so it might pan out for you

p.s. I think you didn't get many responses due to the lack of the YAFFT (yet another fantasy football thread) tag 😉
 
Wow your RBs suck, but Onterrio Smith is'nt really worth much either. He's part of a RB by committe and hes probably going to be suspended for substance abuse. Lelie isn't really worht much either. I'd call it a wash.
