Pierre Thomas trade? Suggestions?

I’m in need of a SOLID WR. I’m in a 12 team league and I get to start 3 WR and 2 RB…no flex. Someone is offering me Steve Smith (NYG) in exchange for Pierre Thomas. I’m seriously considering this trade. I am tied for first place. My team is as follows:
Aaron Rodgers
DeSean Jackson
Donald Driver
Johnny Knox
Anthony Gonzalez
James Jones
DeAngelo Williams
Ronnie Brown
Pierre Thomas
Mike Bell
Chester Taylor
Jason Witten
Jarmichael Finley
Philly Defense
Lawrence Tynes
I think I already answered this, but yeah you need to make this trade. You get to start Smith, Jackson and Driver every week. Plus with only starting two RB’s you are set. Williams and Brown will do and when you are feeling frisky let Taylor go, especially if you are in a PPR league.
MAKE THE TRADE
It’ll solidify your WR3 spot..I’m pretty sure steve smith (giants) is one of the league WR leaders in looks, catches, and yards.
If you’re playing PPR even better. It’s better that you get points on a weekly basis than stashing the guy on your bench..it could mean the difference between a win and a loss.
I know it’s tough, especially after how he played on Monday Night. You have his handcuff at least in Mike Bell, and he did get more carries than him, so he may be the guy to own in the long run. I’d keep Ronnie for the fact that he is the man in the #1 rush offense in the league.
Also, if and when Anthony Gonzo comes back, you can always make another trade.
