So some guy just offered me J Maclin and J Best for Steven Jackson. So do I do this deal? I play in a 16 team IDP keeper league.

depends how many you can keep, but S-Jax is already hurt and has logged a ridiculous amount of carries the past few seasons. you are not going to be keeping him for much longer (if at all past this season)

in a keeper, with Maclin and Best both young and in very good offenses, I would make the trade.

but then, he is averaging 28.0 yards per carry (I drafted him in the 2nd round )

I would definitely do that. You need the help at RB & WR besides Calvin Johnson & McFadden.

I accepted the trade pretty much for the same reasons you guys pointed out.
