Should I trade make this iffy trade?

Question

I'm in a yahoo league, and receptions don't count as points. You start 1 qb, 2 rb, 3 wr, i te, and a kicker.

I was offered Steven Jackson and Larry Fitzgerald for Reggie Wayne and Willie Parker.

Should I make the trade?

Answer 1

I wouldn't. Here's why: Jackson will definitely get better, but losing Orlando Pace and Stuessie off of the O-line will hurt his numbers for sure. Parker will post even better numbers than last year in the new look Pittsburgh offense, because the safeties of opposing teams will have to respect the pass and play back.
Anquan Boldin seems to be getting the better deep-ball looks in Arizona. That may change, but Wayne will still have significantly better numbers this year.
Overall, you might gain a few RB points, but will lose them back at WR. Better to just stay with the guys you already have.

Answer 2

Steven Jackson's stock took a serious hit when tackle Orlando Pace got injured. That along with season-ending injuries to guards Rich Incognito and Todd Steussie will seriously limit Jackson's effectiveness. Parker will probably outperform Jackson, despite Jackson's promise to get 2500 yards from scrimmage this year.

Also, Reggie Wayne will likely have as good as or a better season than Marvin Harrison on what will be one of the most prolific offenses in the NFL. He's very consistent, unlike Fitzgerald (see Cardinals at 49ers on Monday night).

Keep Wayne and Parker. You'll be glad you did.

Answer 3

No, although Steven Jackson was one of the top RBs last year, Orlando Pace is out for the season which should impact his stats. Also, Reggie Wayne is a great WR, you should keep him unless offered a ridiculous deal.

Answer 4

No. Jackson is a slight better RB than Parker but Wayne for Fitzgerald is a no brainer. ARZ offensive production versus Indy with Peyton Manning. No way would I get rid of R. Wayne.

Answer 5

Dont do it!
