Bryant F
Blockbuster trade (Megatron, Leveon Bell involved)
I'm gearing up for playoffs as I've already clinched and this guy needs some Ws. Bell and Benjamin are on byes, so this is what I'm looking at

I give up:
RB Gio Bernard
RB Ryan Mathews
WR Megatron

I get:
RB Leveon Bell
WR Kelvin Benjamin

I'm struggling with this right now because of giving up Megatron...but the way I look at it, Gio B is still banged up and will likely share carries with Hill RoS so he isn't as fantasy relevant anymore. Mathews has a lot of tough matchups coming up and that offense has been struggling as a whole. Megatron is tough to let go of but I may need to to get Bell

Basically it comes down to which roster would you rather have

RB: Murray, Bell, Ivory, Fred Jackson
WR: Jordy Nelson, Benjamin, Edelman, Keenan Allen, Andre Johnson

OR

RB: Murray, Gio B, R Mathews, Ivory, Fred Jackson
WR: Megatron, Jordy Nelson, Edelman, Allen, A Johnson

EDIT: If you think that giving up those 3 is too much on my end, the rest of his roster looks like this (so I could possibly get one of these guys included to make it a 3 for 3)

RB McCoy
WR B Marsh
WR Wayne
WR LaFell
WR J Matthews
WR M Bryant
TE T Kelce (but I have Gates)

    I like this trade. Yes you are giving up a lot, but like you said Matthews and Bernard have questions. I believe you need to build the best starting lineup you can for the playoffs. I think the positive difference between Bell and Bernard or Matthews is greater than the drop off from Megatron to Benjamin. The only thing I would worry about with Benjamin is if he tires toward the end of the season. Sometimes rookies aren't used to the longer NFL season.

    What do you think of trying to squeeze out another guy from him? Like one of those WRs?

    Because I was thinking potentially getting Bryant as a speculative depth guy, just in case...That or if I could somehow convince him to give up Matthews, that would be great

    I would try to get Matthews over Bryant. Sanchez is locked on him so far.

    yea definitely, but IDK if he goes for just adding him in. Maybe I will add in Allen or something like that

    I agree with David. I think with still having Jordy Nelson as your WR1 and Benjamin at 2 you are still solid. Bell is a huge upgrade at running back and he has a pretty decent matchups the rest of the way. Only problem is who you would play at Flex. I love to play a rb at flex if I can and ivory can be hit or miss. It really just depends on how you like to play it.
