In my keeper league, I'm out of the running for the playoffs this season and am looking at giving up Rudy Johnson to a contender in exchange for Joseph Addai. I feel that Rudy is more reliable, but Addai has more upside, and I feel like taking the risk. However, I'm a huge Colts fan, and that may be clouding my judgement. Your thoughts?

Good lord, that's rough. Got to go with Jordan, simply because of youth. The Cardinals may never, ever be good.

Clarification (added after the first 22 or so responses): I'm commish of a league (standard scoring, 6 pts for all TDs), and have this trade on the table. I was going to allow the trade, but a number of league members have objected strongly to the trade. Here's the story. The Trade: Team A gets: Peyton Manning Chad Johnson Team B gets: Steve Smith Antonio Gates Drew Bledsoe Here are the objections being raised by those who want this trade overturned: 1. Team B went off the map on draft night (3rd round pick: Priest Holmes; 5th Round Pick: Sam Aiken) and then talked smack defending his picks. Everyone is now concerned that he doesn't know what he's doing and that he will make dumb trades giving away players. Last week, for instance, he tried to give up Peyton in exchange for Rod Smith and Mike Bell, which was quickly voted down by the league. 2. Team B already has 2 QBs (Brunell and Green) which could be seen as close to Bledsoe's quality, so it is being argued to me that Bledsoe should not be considered in weighing the trade. Thus, the trade boils down to Manning and Johnson for Smith and Gates. Thanks everyone for providing an objective view here. I think Team B's idiocy has got people riled up against him, and I wanted to come back with the whole story so I can go back to the angry owners with input from people outside of the league.
