Also, Greg Little will go from the Preds TS and be assigned to my TS.

The giving of players for this weeks game went both ways. Charles is likely to score significantly more than Stevie, so I put the advantage to you.
I gave up a very good RB, but am hopeful the other 4 RB's I have will be able to chug along with respectable, consistent #'s. Stevie gives me a solid, consistent WR with occasional big games. I view him as a Predator for the rest of this year and the next. The length of his contract was my biggest hesitation. I wish he only had a 2 year deal as I hate long term deals on big contracts. I don't think Stevie will be worth his cap hit for years 3+4.
I made this deal because I really like Stevie as a player/person. He's great in the community and easy to root for. Plus it gives me a reason to tune into the Bills, who I otherwise don't really care much about. I've also been specifically focusing on building a strong WR corps as I believe they are key to winning longterm in today's Fantasy Football. Time will tell as to whether or not I'm right to accentuate the WR position over RB's.
I do think this is a deal that strengthens both teams and should be good for both of us. Charles gives you a legit RB to pair up with McFadden, even over Freddie Jackson who is going to lose significant carries when he returns from injury with the emergence of Spiller. You got the best player in the deal, which usually leads to winning a trade, but I think this trade will balance out pretty equally in the end.
