Fantasy football trade need some advice

i was offered this trade in my big money league

I Trade
Drew Brees
Thomas Jones
Mike Sims Walker

I Recieve

Matt Schaub
Brandon Marshall
Ray Rice

I have already taken the above players out of my line up. I start 1QB 2RB 3WR 1TE 1K and 1DEF, I am thinking about doing the trade i know Brees is the big trade piece i am giving up but i am receiving 3 players i can have be weekly starters. I was hit early on in the season with a crushing injury when Ryan Grant went down so i have been playing week by week putting in my back-up RB's. I know the players i am gaining have had under-performing years. But i believe that the season is still young an they can turn it around. Rice is getting healthy, AJohnson an ODaniels can only get healthier to help out Schaub. An Marshall is a beast catching 5-10 passes per game. i get a 6pt bonus when my 3WR and TE get a combined 20 catches in a week. 6pts in this league are huge. Sims Walker has just been sitting on my bench an so has Thomas Jones most weeks bc i have been playing the "human law firm". Brees is the best QB an will suck losing his 25-30 pts a game but Schaub has the opportunity to score 25pts any week but is averaging 15 in my league.

Henne, Chad MIA QB

Green-Ellis, BenJarvus
Hightower, Tim
McCoy, LeSean PHI
Spiller, C.J. BUF

Bowe, Dwayne KCC WR
Jackson, Vincent SDC
Johnson, Calvin DET WR
Marshall, Brandon MIA
Moore, Lance NOS
Smith, Steve CAR

Davis, Vernon SFO
Miller, Heath PIT TE

Vinatieri, Adam IND

Saints, New Orleans NOS

Injured Reserve
Bush, Reggie NOS RB

I had the same thing happen to me with Ryan Grant.

I wouldn't trade Drew Brees. He is one player you know you will get good numbers with week in and week out.

If you can get him, take a look at Darren Sproiles. The Chargers have been using him in multiple capacities and I have been getting good points out of him each week.

Also look at Leon Washington. He had a good week last week and he might be back to form.

Trades are okay but I prefer to pick up Free Agents.

to many teams in the league to have anyone really avalible on the FA market.

I did the trade. Lets just hope things work out. my team is 4-4 an currently sitting in 5th place with 6 teams making the playoffs. So this trade will either make or break me. It is something that i figured had to be done. Sims Walker wasnt always gonna get me pts like last week. Green-Ellis wont always play like he is now. An playing with only 1 RB (McCoy) wasnt always working he is also playing with a broken rib. Lastly i keep reading that Brees has a knee problem that he is playing with but wont admit it. D-Linemen are saying they can tell something is wrong an our noticing it in video so if this is true just trading him away might of saved my season.

I am gonna drop Henne next week during blind bidding Free Agency. Probably for Vince Young or Sam Bradford. Both of those players could probably be had in my league for 2-5 dollars. I wanted Josh Freeman to be my backup but i put in a 5 dollar Blind Bid but he went for 7 dollars.
