PHI at GB but they won't have Rodgers TEN home against JAX

I have Chris Johnson on my fantasy team currently. My friend is giving me the option to trade for Vincent Jackson. I currently have Roddy White/Demaryius Thomas at WR. And I have Doug Martin/Steven Jackson at RB. Who is the better player to have at my FLEX for the playoffs? Thanks for the help.

I give: Nate Washington I get: Jason Witten My receivers: AJ Green Percy Harvin Nate Washington Titus Young My TE: Martellus Bennett His receivers: Mike Wallace Dez Bryant Santonio Holmes Brandon LaFell His TEs: Jason Witten, Dustin Keller I figure the upgrade is big enough at TE that it justifies me giving up a solid backup option WR. I'm going to start 3 RBs (1 in the flex) with Foster, Lynch, and Reggie Bush. Could always grab an upside pick or two off waivers to fill it out. Somebody tell me if I'm dead wrong here.

Breaking down Peyton Manning : Right now he's probably just getting done throwing in front of Titans staff (not Baptist Sports Park, likely a secret location guarded by the Secret Service) & then he'll spend next 48 hours making up his mind on 1 of 3 teams: ***1) DENVER: They've seen him throw, he passed medical tests, and they offered $90 million over 5 years w/ $30m guaranteed. It's *not* big money in the scheme of things. NFL salaries are not guaranteed. The $30m is the only part that matters, and not only is it rather tepid, it's probably loaded with injury clauses to protect Denver. The Broncos have a great shot: He'd stay in the AFC where he knows opposing personnel. Invesco (Mile High) has the massive home-field advantage. Lots of young talent on both sides of ball. Manning would get to work with idol John Elway (VP) and his best friends Todd Helton and Brandon Stokley live in Denver. *** 2) SAN FRANCISCO: A late entrant into the sweepstakes, this is where Manning goes if he wants another ring *right now*. 13-3 last year, almost to Super Bowl, 11th ranked offense, 2nd ranked defense. Team is ready to pop. Added WR Randy Moss who still runs 4.4's in the 40-yard dash, and they will actually *use him* (cough cough, Titans). They might sign WR Brandon Lloyd this weekend and he's a baller too. Manning would also appreciate legacy of Montana & Young. Coach Jim Harbaugh is the perfect player's coach. Insiders think the 49ers might steal Manning. *** 3) TENNESSEE: This is where fate seems to point but does Manning *really* care that much about the heritage of UT, Rocky Top, etc. Bud Adams swigged a bottle of Tanqueray this week & issued a blank check for GM Ruston Webster to fill out. Titans can and probably will offer NOT $30m guaranteed, but $40-45... shocking, considering Bud's past stinginess, but it's true. But the $ doesn't matter, folks. Manning has made $250-300 million in NFL pay plus Reebok, DirecTV, MasterCard, etc. Indeed, Bud is also offering front-office & ownership stake at some point, which is Tennessee's ONLY advantage over the other 2 teams. Peyton's going to announce his decision on Monday or Tuesday. It's a 3-horse race and it will be a photo-finish.
