Was this a smart trade?

Yes it is smart to trade away Palmer however, I am not sure about Rudi-Palmer trade. I thought you could have at least get a better running back in return. At least hold on him for couple more weeks if his value goes higher so you could get better running back. As far I'm concerned Rudi is just a back up fantasy RB. I'm not fan of trading for back up players. Only for players who I could at least consider to start on some weeks at least. However at this point right now, it is good trade.
