Should I trade Reggie Wayne for Hines Ward and Larry Johnson?

Question

The trade deadline is 11/16, I have Owens, Lee Evans, Brandon Marshall and Kevin Walter as my wide receivers. My running backs are Joseph Addai, Jesse Chatman, and Priest Holmes. I am not sure if I need Wayne although he is good but I have Owens and with Ward I could just pick whoever has the best matchup out of my other players. Also, I am not sure how long Larry Johnson is out for but I do need runningback help and I am in third place so even if he is only avaliable for the playoffs would it be worth it? I need some help fast. Please give me some advice.

Answer 1

I would love that trade. When Marvin comes back, Wayne's #'s will be good, but Harrison will take some of his. Ward is emerging again, and no signs of a lingering injury. You also have the Priest until LJ returns. LJ just sounds like a freebie. Seriously, I'd even conside Ward for Wayne heads up, but AND LJ sounds great...

Answer 2

Yes - Ward and Johnson are good for an average of 30-35 pts a weekend combined (if you were playing both of them). Wayne can get you maybe 15-20 pts on average. Those numbers may decrease as teams will double up on him since Manning has limited alternative targets.

Answer 3

That depends on Marvin Harrison's health and Johnson's foot.
Johnson is doubtful for this week and Harrison's status is up to Tony Dungy and he's not really talking. Reggie is scoring very well, so is Ward. Johnosn and his health is the key. If you need running stats bad, this trade is iffy. If you already have good running stats, then make the trade and see what happens with Johnson.

Answer 4

Ya know, If Johnson is not out for a long period of time then it is worth it........ but you better check the Chiefs site to make sure of his status. I heard He really hurt his ankle. But the swelling has gone down a lot.

Answer 5

no
