Yep.You essentially traded Turner and Big Ben for Addai.
Ben was useless to me, I have Peyton and Eli. FC has Schaub already, so Ben is a backup QB to him, or vice versa, he can only play one QB at a time.
I can play Addai and Jones together every week (except BYE weeks durh), and get roughly the same points out of them as I would have gotten out of Turner.
Plus I still have Brown and Bradshaw at RB, so I'm good.
So, the positions I needed filled were filled, and FC got a good backup QB, I think, despite the fact that Turner is uber, it was a pretty even trade.
He's better than Addai, who is playing for all pass team and a rookie RB cutting into his totals.
I'm not saying Turner is a beast but he's better than Addai and Jacoby Jones, plus giving away the second best QB also.
I find it funny about that article. It's stating that the Falcons don't have a last place schedule. Check out this, http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=easterbrook/090929&sportCat=nfl

My statement had nothing to do with fantasy value just saying I dont think Turner is overall anything special as a RB. I really dont think Big Ben will be the #2 fantasy QB at end of the year either, that was a throw in part of the trade for me.

With the run game the Steelers have I think Big Ben can be a top 5 Fantasy value pick.
I still don't get the trade though. Turner and Big Ben for Addai.

Well with counting return yards and getting occasional snaps at WR cant totally discount Jones, but believe me I didnt quite get it either seeing as I had offered (what I thought) was a lot more value earlier.
