Considering trading Demaryius Thomas and Frank Gore for Latavius Murray and Jeremy Maclin. Any thoughts?

My current team:
Tom Brady/Cam Newton
DeMarco Murray
Frank Gore
Demaryius Thomas
DeAndre Hopkins
Martellus Bennet
Moncrief/Travis Benjamin/Allen Robinson/Woodhead
Denver D/ST
Steven Hauscka

Just added Ryan Matthews as a handcuff for DeMarco, also have James Starks and Charles Clay on bench.

I think value wise the trade is solid, but I do not like your WR core enough behind Hopkins to really trust it. Allen Robinson is going to have several WR2 weeks, but I have lower faith in Moncrief and Benjamin, which could potentially leave a large hole for you during bye weeks.

If I am trading Demaryius given your RB situation, I am looking directly at Lev Bell or Jamaal Charles, beyond that, no single RB is worth his value in my eyes.

I meant to include Maclin in the Moncrief and Benjamin pairing, but forgot. I do not like Maclin as a solid WR2 either.

I actually think that may be a worthwhile trade. It's essentially a Thomas for Murray trade. Both Gore and Maclin had big weeks last week, but I think the way their offenses are trending it's an outlier week for both of them. Murray has been one of the only consistent backs in the league through the first 3 weeks so it might be good to pick up on him early.
