My Welker/Grant for his Holmes/Jacobs?! **WHIR!!!**

[F4L]

Hey guys, back with a real toughie this time.

I am in a 12-team, non-PPR, VERY competitive league, and I have a big offer on the table.

I am sittin at 4-2, and would be 5-1 if it wasnt for Drew Brees beating me Week 1. Top 6 make the playoffs, and Im gearing u for a big playoff run. I have been offered Brandon Jacobs and Santonio Holmes for my Wes Welker and Ryan Grant.

My team:

QB- Schaub, Hasselbeck
RB- DeAngelo Williams, Pierre Thomas, Ryan Grant, Caddy Williams, Maroney
WR- Andre Johnson, Wes Welker, Sidney Rice, Donnie Avery, Austin Collie
TE- Tony Gonzalez
K- Prater
DEF- Philly

Its a standard scoring, and lineups league, so 1 QB, 3 WR, 2 RB, 1 TE, K, DEF. I obviously have room to upgrade my WR core aby trading Ryan Grant, and buying low on Jacobs. Welker's remaining schedule, and the way he has been performing makes me want to keep him though.

IF I do this trade, I was going to trade Jacobs fo Steven Jackson. Then trade DeAngelo for a top WR like Roddy White, or Colston. So my roster would ideally look like this...

QB- Schaub, Hass
RB- S-Jax, Pierre, Caddy, Maroney
WR- Andre, Holmes, Colston/Roddy?
TE- Tony

Should I first, initially do this Jacobs trade without taking into consideration the following moves I would make? Then, taking into account the moves I am going to make to get the best playoff matchups and strengthen my starting lineup, should I do it and follow through on all my moves?

I WHIR anyone, this is really tough for me and will determine my season! Leave your link, thanks!!!

Thanks for such a reply on mine.

When I first read the deal, I was immediately against it....however, if you're planning on swapping around players like you mentioned, I'd consider doing it. Only drawback is you will have strong players, BUT you don't have hardly any depth, so if a guy goes down, it'll hurt.

The only way I would accept this trade is if I was 100% convinced Jacobs is going to come back BIG time, or if I knew for sure I could trade him for SJax. I've watched all of the Giants games this year and I'm really not sure it's going to happen for Jacobs. Welker is going to get you decent points every week he is healthy. Id rather have a healthy Welker than Holmes probably.
