Who wins?

Bell is the best player. But Pryor is worthless and I'd rather have Carson and McCoy.

Always trade for the studs...take the Bell side of it assuming the Bell winner has the depth to give up...

Oh wait, they are trading McCoy for Bell and then swapping backups? Definitely go with Bell side.

S&L is right, that Pryor is worthless, but assuming you make the playoffs you don't care about who is on your bench since bye weeks are over. Take the stud.

Well...Carson is probably done for the year so the guy who got Bell is the big winner at this point.

Martin is only a backup because he has been suspended up to this point in the season. I declined the trade and kept Bell/Pryor, but was really considering pulling the trigger. Obviously now the Carson injury makes it easier, but I forgot to mention this is a keeper league, so both Martin in the 8th round and Carson undrafted are very appealing.
