Garcon for Welker?
I’m in a league that starts 3 wr’s and my top 4 are Randy Moss, Santonio Holmes, Vincent Jackson and Pierre Garcon. The trade I’ve been offered is Welker and either Bobby Wade (KC) or Jacoby Jones (Hou) for Garcon.
I would have pulled the trigger in a second, with Gonzalez presumably coming back soon and Welker as well, but then realized that NE and Pit both have byes in week 8 which would leave me scrounging over the flotsam for 2 wr’s that week. Oh, I had cribbs as my #5 wr, but dropped him in favor of the Buff Def to get the matchup vs clev in week 5 when my Chi Def has a bye. So I will be able to troll the waiver wire in advance of week 8.

Do it.
The only reason not to make that trade is that it's too lopsided in your favor. If Week 8 is that big a concern, you could try trading a healthy Welker or another of your bye week trio for a similar WR. Shouldn't be hard to get one better than Garcon.
Re: Garcon for Welker?
You should do that trade in a hot second. You would then have four elite wide receivers. At worst, re-trade Welker for a decent bye week fill-in at WR and upgrade at another position.
