I am in a fantasy league for the first time with co-workers. My b/f said I need to get a top WR like Reggie Wayne. I have Deion Branch and Lee Evans. But I also don't want to look like an idiot. If I offer D.B and L.E. for Reggie Wayne will this trade likely be accepted? Is this a good idea on my part?
My other WRs are: Ike Hilliard; Kevin Walters; Chris Henry; and Javon Walker.

i wouldnt do it. chris henry comes back after next week and he should produce some numbers that wont match wayne but between henry and evans you should be just fine. i dont know walkers return status but he cant be too far away and he is a top receiver

Offer this trade. You have a so-so supporting cast to work with though. I agree that eion Branch is very overrated, and coming back from an injury, forgetaboutit. Lee Evans has been updown much like his Bills. They just don;t have the team to keep Evans a top prospect every week.
Wayne is and will remain the man in Indy this year. Chris henry will comeback and be good start afer week 10 when he should show his worth. Javon Walker is all but done for the year. Ike Hilliard is going to remain a good taregt for Garcia. And Kein Walters, expect his points to widdle down as Andre Johnson/Jacoby Jones gets back in the mix.
Since your getting rid of 2 guys, pick up another potential WR starter or set up another side trade.

I would do it. Deion Branch is the most overrated WR in the NFL. Never had a 1000 yard season. Never caught more than 5 TDs in a season. Injuries are common. That he got the deal he did for his contract is amazing and that the Seahawks gave up a first for him is even moreso. And Evans... he'll have a big game or two, but he's realllllllllllly inconsistent.
Wayne is the number one guy (right now and possibly ongoing) on the number one or two offensive team with the best or 2nd best QB in the game.
You would not be an idiot for trading those two guys for Wayne.

Don't do it please. Your other receivers are WEAK. Hilliard is ok, Henry is suspended until next week and will be rusty, Walker is out for 6-7 weeks with knee surgery, and Walter is good but Andre Johnson will take looks from him when he returns.
Deion Branch is returning from injury and was doing well before he was hurt and Lee Evans has really picked up his play plus Losman may be back at starting QB and that is his main target.

It depends if the person already has other good receivers. If he has then he'll reject. In theory is it a good trade? Yes but there is always a chance that you'll be rejected. This trade would benefit you in the long run. Branch is over-hyped and Evans is a hit of miss kind of guy.

If you're bent on making a trade, I would put the word out to the rest of the teams that you're looking for a WR and see what trade offers come in. Then post them here and see what people say. It's better in a negotiation for the other side to make the first offer. Then you can accept the trade, reject the trade, or counter-offer.

This trade will be accepted, and for good reason. Don't do this trade.
