Trade Advice - RB Heavy/WR Thin (1 Viewer)

Hey guys!  Here's the basic info about my league:

Point System: 1/2 PPR

Size:  10 Team

League Type:  Increasing Keeper/Dynasty League (kept 4 this year, keep 5 or 6 next year)

Below is my current roster:

Starters

QB:  Aaron Rodgers

RB:  David Johnson

RB:  Todd Gurley

WR:  Demaryius Thomas

WR: Tyreek Hill

TE:  Jimmy Graham

Flex:  Emmanuel Sanders

Def:  Texans

K:  Sebastian Janikowski

Bench:

RB's:  Ameer Abdullah, Terrance West, Samje Perine

WR's:  Randall Cobb, Corey Coleman, Mohamed Sanu, Josh Doctson

I think my biggest issue is not having a great WR1 and I'd like to fix that.  Looking at my team, I don't think I need (or should have) Sanders and Thomas and need to diversify my team a bit.  I also have the potential issue with Janikowski's contract issues so I might need to lose him.  However, Prater is on the waiver wire so I could always pick him up.

One person in our league has offered me my choice of Brandon Marshall, Donte Moncrief, Adam Thielen, or Zay Jones for Sanders.  He then came back with the offer of Theilan and Dan Bailey (which would improve my kicker situation but it only helps for this year as I'm not going to be keeping a kicker, realistically).  With Prater on the waiver wire, I think I have some good options.  So, my question is:

1)  Do you like any of those WR's for Sanders?  Realistically, if I get rid of Sanders, I really need to be getting a WR1 or a keeper level player in return (maybe I'm wrong about that) to actually improve my WR situation.  Maybe going for younger players is the way to go but I'm not sure if its worth losing a relatively solid guy for a shot in the dark.  

2)  Should I potentially get rid of one of my strong RB's (possibly Gurley) for 2 other solid keepers?  

3)  Should I hang out to Sebastian Janikowski or drop him for Prater?

4)  Is there a specific player I should go after in exchange for Sanders?

Unfortunately, I can read stats but when it gets to some deep thinking about how to balance this season versus a longer term dynasty approach, I get lost in the details a bit.  Any recommendations you can give me would be greatly appreciated.  Let me know if you have any additional information to answer this question.  Thanks!

Thanks for the reply!  I checked out your question but, to be honest with you, I'm not sure how much help I'll be as I don't trust my knowledge enough to make a suggestion (and would hate for you to take advice I give and think there's much value to it).  

I would like to get at least one more opinion, if at all possible so if anyone else could offer an opinion, I'd really appreciate it.  Thanks!

 
Sanders is rated higher than any of those guys. Yes might be nice to break up Sanders/Thomas on your roster. But I wouldn't worry too much about 2nd-rated WR since you have top RB/QB/TE. You're sitting ok. 

If anything, Trade Sanders + Cobb/Sanu/Doctson for Brandon Marshall + Adam Thielen. Or something along those lines. You are swapping a top+bottom WR for 2 middle WRs.
