Reggie Wayne For Steven Jackson. Should I do it?

[Silky Smooth]

QB Tony Romo, Dal QB P
RB Frank Gore, SF RB
RB/WR Chad Ochocinco, Cin WR
WR Reggie Wayne, Ind WR
WR Miles Austin, Dal WR
TE Jason Witten, Dal TE
D/ST Falcons D/ST, Atl D/ST
K Robbie Gould, Chi K

Bench Jerome Harrison, Cle RB
Bench Jahvid Best, Det RB
Bench Clinton Portis, Was RB
Bench Santonio Holmes*, NYJ WR O
Bench Ricky Williams, Mia RB
Bench Donald Brown, Ind RB
Bench Antonio Bryant, Cin WR Q
Bench Jeremy Shockey, NO TE

That's my roster and I was offered a trade where I get Jackson but give up Wayne. Is that a good trade? I will also probably drop Bryant and pick up Devery Henderson.

You already have a ton of running backs so it doesn't make much sense. Plus, Steven Jackson is kind of risky and isn't as good as he used to be so I would say just play it safe and keep Reggie. Reggie will probably have alot more production anyway.

And that's what I was thinking about. When I was offered that trade I looked at my roster and I saw that I have a whole bunch of solid RB's and 3 really good WR's. I built my team that way. If I get rid of one of my really good WR's, my depth at that position takes a big hit.

If I were you, I think I would do the trade. Stephen Jackson has not lost a step. The only problem last year is that his touchdowns dropped, that's only because he had to do all the work because their QB play was horrible. Bringing in Bradford will give Jackson someone who can get him the ball in the passing game and keep the defense not soley focused on the run game. Last year Jackson actually had his second highest career rushing total. He just didn't get to the endzone as much as previous years.

If anyone is to lose production I would say it would be Wayne. Mainly because Manning has so many targets and now that Anthony Gonzalez is back that give Peyton another target. With Dallas Clark, Gonzo, Wayne, Garcon and Collie I feel that the production could possibly be spread around pretty evenly between their reciever corps, thats why I stayed away from Indy players in this seasons draft.

Your WR depth may take a hit, but you could probably count on Stephen Jackson getting more points then any of your WR each week and could start a lineup of:

RB Frank Gore, SF RB
RB/WR Stephen Jackson, LA RB
WR Chad Ochocinco, Cin WR
WR Miles Austin, Dal WR

And if you feel you need to find another WR, I'm sure you will be able to find someone out their who would be a taker of Harrison, Portis or Ricky which you could trade for a decent WR. I feel like Santonio is going to be the go-to wideout in NY this year so all you need to do is have someone to fill his shoes while he is suspended.

When healthy, Steven Jackson is easily a Top 5 RB fantasy-wise.

Losing Wayne sucks, but no name WRs always break out every fantasy year and if you're good with the waivers you can easily grab one.

In basic leagues, look where these WRs ranked. No one thought they'd have the years they did prior to the season.
