PPR league...I got better right?

Team before trade (players involved):

Matt Forte
Ray Rice
Knowshon Moreno
Brian Westbrook
Leon Washington
Glen Coffee
Steve Smith CAR
Mario Manningham
DeSean Jackson
Wes Welker

Team after trade:

Matt Forte
Brandon Jacobs
Brian Westbrook
Leon Washington
Glen Coffee
Steve Smith CAR
Larry Fitzgerald
Mario Manningham
Wes Welker

So, in one trade, I moved DeSean straight up for Jacobs. No other RB, outside of top 5, can consistently do the 75/1 week in week out. In the other, I moved Ray Rice & Knowshon Moreno for Larry Fitzgerald. Top 5 WR for two solid, but not yet great RB options. Both of whom I'd put behind Jacobs.

Thoughts?

I definitely agree with those moves. I own Jacobs in a PPR league and I kind of wish that I didn't, but I am definitely not sold on DeSean Jackson. He will give you those weeks like last week, but he will also have his share of 4-43 or 2-28 weeks. If Welker and Westbrook get healthy, you will have a headache of who to start on a weekly basis, but that's never a bad thing with bye weeks and potential injuries. Good luck with your new and improved team.
