Should I trade Gus Edwards and Dion Lewis for Austin Ekeler (12 man PPR, 8 man playoffs 14-15-16)? My main running backs right now are Marlon Mack, Phillip Lindsay, and Matt Breida, and am right now looking for a fringe RB1 for the playoffs who can get without giving up any of my main players (WR: Michael Thomas, Juju, Robert Woods TE: Kittle, Olsen). Obviously Ekeler’s value depends on how long Gordon is out but if he doesn’t come back until after week 15 I think this trade would be worth it.

I would rather have Edwards and Lewis for the rest of the year than just Ekeler. In the game Ekeler had to himself he wasn't as effective and I have some worry about Justin Jackson taking touches to keep Ekeler fresh.
Edwards should be a fringe RB1 as long as Lamar is behind center. He is the guy you are looking for.

I'd definitely keep Edwards. Gordon might only miss 2 weeks. Even if Gordon misses more than that, I'd rather have Edwards than Ekeler. Lewis is just bonus bench depth.
