Trade Ellington & Mathews to get Lacy?

I'm making a run for the playoffs and need another consistent RB for my lineup. We can start 2 RB's plus flex. My RB's are Forte, Ellington, Ingram, Hillman, Shady, & Ryan Mathews. I like Ellington a lot, but with the difficulty of his remaining schedule and with Palmer out, I have concerns that I would even have confidence in starting him. Should I trade Ellington and Mathews to get Eddie Lacy? Lacy has really come on strong and has a very favorable schedule. 10 man standard league non-ppr

I wouldnt say im opposed to the deal, but just fyi I just traded Ellington and Mathews for Leveon Bell, who imho has a better schedule and more likely to put up more points. So I might try to feel out if there are other options you could pick up. Ellington is a top 10 back, Seattle is basically average to run against, and next week Ellington has the lowly falcons - giving up 2nd most points in the league. If you can find someone who needs to win the next two weeks, ellington could be the guy to get him here.

To be fair, im in a 12 team league, where mathews is a RB2/flex, maybe in a 10 team league hes not starting for anyone. If true, this is pretty significant, then its definitely worth it to do the trade immediately
