Major Fantasy Football Trade?
Should I give up Frank Gore RB SF, Larry Fitzgerald WR ARI, and Joey Galloway WR TB for Reggie Wayne WR IND, Torry Holt WR STL and Marshawn Lynch RB BUF?
Lynch will be a starter, and is supposed to put up good numbers so I'm ready to pull the trigger. What do you think?

The success of this trade hinges on 1) Lynch becomes the starter Day 1, which is not yet the case. Anthony Thomas is still the starter, and will at the very least get significant carries. 2) Frank Gore misses any regular season time.
I love the upgrade you get at WR, on both counts.
I think Gore will actually have a better season, not having 4 weeks of wear and tear on his body. His hand didn't require surgery, so I don't think it will be much of an issue. At worst he might have some grip, or fumbling issues to cope with early on.
It's not an unfair deal, but you are taking a huge risk with the heart of your team at RB.
Consider this: Cal produced a phenomenal 2000 yard college back just a couple of years ago, J.J. Arrington. Look how he's ended up. What if their success is the system, and not the athlete? What if Lynch is a bust, and you gave up on a Pro Bowl running back, and a non-platoon one at that?
Food for thought... I say be patient.
Absolutely not!
You are losing more than you are gaining if you take this trade. Sure, Lynch is a sleeper candidate who could put up big time numbers this year, but Gore has already proven what he can do, and even if he doesn't do quite as well as last year, he should still be a top 10, if not top 5 fantasy back again this season.
Fitz is one of the top WRs right now, and Wayne is similar in value. Trading Galloway for Holt would be an improvement, but it is not worth the drop you will take from giving up Gore for Lynch.

Larry Fitzgerald WR ARZ vs. Torry Holt WR STL
Joey Galloway WR TB vs. Marshawn Lynch BUF RB
Maybe if the RB was Reggie Bush instead of Marshawn Lynch, but otherwise no. Keep who you've got.
NO! The wide receivers you have are pretty good already. Sure you might get slightly better receivers in exchange, but you'll be losing Frank Gore (one of the top 5 RBs in Fantasy Football) to gamble on a rookie who has never yet played a down of NFL football. If Lynch is a huge success then that trade would be a steal, but if Lynch is a bust then you would've gotten ripped off.
NO way... why could you commerce... it does not earnings you. Larry Johnson is a stud, and in case you have Ronnie Brown with him, you're set at RB. Why whould you're taking someones trash (Jamal Lewis and McGehee) and supply away your maximum suitable participant. Boldin is a real 5 reciever as properly. Housh is up and down and Roy Williams has been a bust for the final 3 years. i could shop Larry Johnson and Boldin. It does not make any experience to commerce those men away.
pull trigger
NO WAY would I ever make that trade.
