Who won this trade? Strategy?

10 team, standard scoring, 5 bench spots, 5pt QB Tds (my big $, most important league btw). TIA
I traded - Gio, Decker, and Hurns
I received - Aaron Rodgers and Sammy Watkins
My team (7-3, 1st place, 2nd in PF) before trade
QB -Taylor (dropped Wilson 2wks ago)
RB- Blount, Shady, Gore, Gio, Langford
WR - Dez, Mike Evans, Hurns, Decker, Crabtree
TE - Gronk
D/ST - St. Louis
K- Gostkowsi
His team (6-4, tied for 2nd somehow, 6th in PF) before trade
QB- Rodgers, Rivers
RB- AP, Spiller, A.Andrews
WR - Fitz, D.Jackson, Watkins, Ginn
TE - Jimmy
D/ST - Seattle
K - M.Bryant
All 3 I traded have basically been on my bench all year. I'm investing in trading my productive bench players to upgrade my biggest weakness strategy going into the postseason, since I screwed myself last year and lost in the championship bc I wouldn't trade a couple top 25 players on my bench for Eli or Rivers. I, for some dumbass reason, thought having elite depth and a mediocre qb would be better in postseason than risking going all in to further upgrade my starters. I traded ARob for Shady and Decker couple weeks ago as well.
Apologies for the length, but what does the board think about this move/strategy?

He traded for him and then traded him away...
I think OP did well.

My fault. Figured it was too much info. In short, what's y'all's thoughts into having a top team w/ bench players who could start in abt 70% of the other teams lineups and trading them in bulk to get an elite player at your position of need for the playoff run, rather than prolly keeping them on the bench majority of the playoffs?

Thanks brotha. I mainly think I made the right move with big playoff upside, hoping Dez gets back to the late 1st /early 2nd round Dez I drafted, and Mike Evans starts getting in the end zone. Small feeling that the trade aggressiveness will come back to bite me in the arse though

Btw, Can't figure out if I'm getting fudged with or not yet but I'll read it as the latter. Fairly new to posting n recognizing sarcasm here. still learning to temper length/info

My initial post was about you trading Decker twice. But apparently my reading comprehension is low. I went back and looked at it and saw the error.
Personally, I like to get the best starting lineup possible. I hope to have a serviceable player or two on my bench, but I'll trade good bench players and one of my starters for an upgrade at a position.
Bench points don't count for shite. But that's me.

Couldn't agree more. I knew I would be kicking myself in 6 weeks if I lost the ship again because I stuck with Tyrod or Russ Wilson instead of trading for Rodgers with Hurns, decker, and Gio squatting on my bench. Now I gotta decide how to use my empty bench spot since I'm 10th in waiver order. Try and find a ROS sleeper D to pair with St.Louis for matchups? Any ideas?

I put a ww bid in on the Chiefs D. they have been playing well lately and I feel like they may have a few more good games down the stretch.
Just a hunch though.
Good luck!

I like it . My hunch always, at least for myself, is either a home run or a complete dud lol; and if I'm not starting Rams D at some point from now then I'm def goin for the upside matchup so I guess my best move would be to snag a 2nd D/ST with my last bench spot. Thanks for your input, Good Luck to you as well the rest of the way. Lord knows the Tigahs, Saints, and Pels ain't giving me any hope this year so far, but the cash and the bragging rights would definitely minimize the blow of having to wait another year for a fresh start.
