I'd say it's a toss up, that could eventually be your win depending on how Romo comes back.  Grants been solid, but nothing special, he'll get you 75 yards a game or so but nothing more really.  What place are you in?  If you're towards the top, I'd say the trade didnt need to be made, but if youre in the middle, doesnt hurt mixing things up a bit.

Im 5-5 fighting for a playoff spot. I think that Grant can put up numbers comperable to Turner's but Im living week to week without a solid QB (I drafted Derek Andersen and that bombed). I think Romo can give me a steady hand.

I agree its definitely a toss-up. I also agree that you have to take chances when you're fighting for a playoff spot. It is a high risk, high reward kind of trade. I like Turner over Romo-Grant (Romo is returning from an injury and Grant is running against a stingy Bears defense) this weekend but in the long run this trade could work out nicely for you.

Yeah, Grant will be solid for you, it's just that come playoff time, backs like Turner and LDT can CARRY you, but if Romo comes back healthy today and shows that he can play, then you'll be in good shape, and since you are fighting for a spot, then mixing things up was definitely a good call.  Hopefully it works out for you, I drafted Anderson as well, had to trade Andre Johnson for Eli Manning earlier in the year so I had someone.

So Grant has 105 yards on 13 carries with a TD this week, by far his best game of the season, and it isn't even half time yet. You have to be feeling pretty good about this trade now haha.

Grant was a high draft pick on my fantasy team and I've been waiting for him to realize his potential all season. This might be the break out game we've all been waiting for. Not that he hasn't done well this season, but I feel like he could be a top back in the league.

1 more day for vetos. I hope turner turns it on so my trading partner doesn't get buyer's remorse and lobby for a trade.
