What is Lamar Jackson worth in a trade? WHIR (2 Viewers)

My team has been decimated with injuries. I need RB and WR help. I'm thinking of trading Lamar Jackson, my backup QB's are Purdy/Jones, and Penix. Not good, but I think Purdy, if and when he returns could carry my team.

That being said, I've been offered Zay Flowers and CJ Stroud, plus bidd bucks for Jackson. I think I should hold out for a better offer, if I trade at all.
It's a 12 team league, 1 PPR, standard scoring.

My current roster:
WR - Tet, Worthy, Golden, Kirk, Troy Franklin, Slaiyton-Inj
RB - B.Robinson, Hampton-IR, JCM, Algier, J.Ford
TE - Waller, Barner

So experts, do I trade Jackson? If so, what is a reasonable trade?
 
Is it redraft, keeper, dynasty? That would affect the value and whether or not you'd want to trade him. You should definitely be able to better than that, especially since he's probably going to be back next week. Purdy is going to have issues all year. He can probably play through the injury and do okay but relying on him week to week is going to be rough. If you can get enough for Lamar, it's worth trading him but I'd be looking to move Purdy or Jones first even though you'll get less. Your RBs are in better shape than your WRs aside from depth. You have none at RB. Your WRs are sort of okay but it's definitely going to be hard to win without doing something. You could maybe try to package one of the WRs other than McMillan and Purdy or Jones for an upgrade. I personally would keep Golden but all the others are expendable. Lamar is worth a lot so you'll probably have to be willing to wait some since people will probably try to offer you less than you'll want to take. You most likely won't get JSN for Lamar or anything like that but you should definitely be able to do better than Flowers and Stroud.

Here's mine:

It's a redraft league. Thanks for your assessment.
 
In a redraft league why do you have 4 QB's? Seems like way too many and a bad use of roster slots. Get some upside RB/WR's to fill those spots.

As far as the trade, you don't need a QB in return so that trade with Stroud is pretty awful. It's essentially Zay Flowers for Lamar. No way I make that deal.

I originally had Jackson and Purdy as my QB's. Then both were injured. So I picked up Mac Jones to fill in for Purdy, now there is a question abut whether Purdy or Jones will start this week, so I picked up Penix as insurance. My WW is stripped bare unfortunately. I would like to drop Penix at the very least, depending on the SF situation. Thanks for your input!
 
I'd keep Lamar. Could see a rejuvinated BAL team out of the bye
