I asked this in the other forum too but not sure if the guys answering here are different or not. Anyway...

I'm trying to improve my starting WR lineup. I've been offered Manningham for Slaton. Does this sound like a decent trade?

My current RBs: C. Benson, T. Jones, S. Slaton, K. Smith, P. Thomas and J. Jones

My current WRs: C. Johson, M. Colston, P. Garcon, D. Avery, H. Nicks and J. Knox

I feel like Garcon, Avery, Nicks and Knox are spot players and not full-time starters like Colston and Johnson. Looking for another one of those. Is Manningham that guy?

Any advice is appreciated.

I wouldnt do it. Manningham has been a bit dinged up, and with Hakeem Nicks finally getting healthy, he might see his touches diminished. I suspect he will end up being the deep threat with the occasional big game, while Nicks and Smith are the constant producers.

After 2 miserable games to start the season, Slaton has been very solid over his last 4 games. With that depth at RB, you can afford to trade him, but I would try to get someone with better long term prospects than Manningham.

Thanks for the well-worded response. You make some very good points. I may try to aim higher with Slaton for another WR if I decide I need one.
