As for your team, I can't speak too well about eight-team leagues, not having any experience there. I'm jealous you have McNabb, as I think he is going to be a stud. I worry about your third RB and fourth WR, given that it's an eight-team league. What position did you draft, how many bench players are you keeping, and who is on your bench?

everyone has a very deep bench in this league,
I have:
Pennington,
Betts,
Travis Henry
Nate Burleson *
Wilford *
Marion Barber
Vernon Davis
kevin curtis *

the *s mean i'm looking for someone to replace these guys as the weeks go along, unless they pick it up.

also there are 4 defensive player positions, but they arent terribly important.

This leaves me with Alexander and Gore and not much else--saving Maroney and the RB I get in the trade.

the trade looks pretty even, depending on how Alexander does this year. Dunn is a great back but I dont know how many touchdowns he'll score.. he'll get plenty of yards. if you can get him to replace reggie brown with D. Jackson and then take Droughns as a backup that might be the best deal you can get. The thing I dont like about foster and williams is that they split carries. as far as I know, Reuben doesnt split carries with anyone so he'd be a better bet for TDs. it all depends on the browns offense and defense.

on a side note, Alexander didnt start doing great last year until week 3 or 4, so if he's going for cheap now it might not be a good idea to pass on him.
