Trade advice please

1-4 in a Fleaflicker flex keeper league so really need a shake up of my roster. I've been offered Torrey Smith and David Wilson for Demaryius Thomas.

My current (****e) roster is -

QB Newton CAR

RB Charles KC
RB Sproles NO
RB McFadden OAK
RB Jennings OAK
RB Mendenhall ARI

WR Thomas DEN
WR Edelman NE
WR Shorts JAX
WR Hopkins HOU
WR Givens STL

TE Cameron CLE
TE Finley GB

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Just an update (because you all seem so interested :-))

Been also offered Larry Fitz for McFadden.

If I pull the trigger on both deals I think I'll be in a little better shape?

I'd do the mcFadden deal but not the other deal, might be ok if they could throw in a more usable back than Wilson. Not sure what he has put up this season so far, not much I don't think, while Thomas has been one of the leagues top receivers.

The other RBs on his roster are MJD, Le'Veon Bell and McGahee.

He won't let Bell go.

Wilson out this week. He hasn't shown anything so far this season.
I'd do the McFadden for Larry trade.

Ok so I pulled the trigger on the Fitz trade and it's probably been a wash for both sides.

The same owner who offered me Smith and Wilson for Thomas has come back to me with a similar trade proposal -

Smith and Le'Veon Bell for Thomas and an 8th round pick in next years draft.

What do you say oh wise sages of the fantasy forum?

I've never traded for draft picks before, so I'm not entirely sure what the value is, but I do really like Bell, so I'd be tempted to go for that one. It would give you two solid RBs, and you can play the matchups for your WRs.

In another league of mine (standard scoring) I offered someone Josh Gordon and Chris Ivory for Stevan Ridley and Jordan Reed. I'm hurting at TE, because I lost Finley last week, and he's really hurting at WR after losing both Cobb and Wayne. The other guy rejected it, looking for a cheaper deal I think. Do you guys think that's a fair enough trade? I personally thought it was even weighted a bit against me.

I think the other guy was right to reject it. It wasn't a great offer at all.

What do you think would be fairer?

My roster: Romo, Rivers, Morris, CJ2K, MJD, Jacobs, Megatron, A Johnson, Gordon, Colston, Nicks, Bennett, Hartley, Chiefs.

His roster: R Wilson, RG3, Charles, Ridley, Bell, L Miller, S Johnson, Douglas, Hilton, Jeffery, Thompkins, Reed, H Miller, Hauschka, Seahawks.

I think Gordon's borderline WR1, so I figured it was helping both parties.
