Gates for Hardin in a PPR? WHIR!

[LosAngelesChargers]

My WR situation is bad. Other than Steve Smith (Car), who is no sure thing, I have a bunch of "sleepers". I love Gates, but I have Pettigrew on the bench and desperately need a WR2 to produce while I'm waiting to see on my other guys. Am I offering too much in Gates for Harvin? Is there a better trade here I'm not seeing? I'm also interested in Nate Washington.


12 Team PPR
1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 Flex (RB/WR/TE)

My Team:

QB: Newton, Luck
RB: Rice, Sproles, R. Bush
WR: S. Smith (Car), Manningham, Little, M. Williams (TB), Wright, Randle
TE: Gates, Pettigrew

His Team:

QB: Brees, Bradford
RB: D. Brown, Ridley, P. Thomas, D. Thomas
WR: Jones, D. Jackson, Harvin, N. Washington, LaFell
TE: Finley, Cook

Thanks for the help, leave a link if you have a question and I'll respond in kind.

I do not think you are offering enough for Harvin. He should be top 15 as the go to receiver for Ponder. Gates has foot problems and the owner already has decent TEs.

Gates/manningham for harvin/cook might get it done.

Good points both of you. I'm a bit of a homer when it comes to Gates, definitely was overvaluing him. Thanks
