The trade front went silent for two weeks, as teams prepared for their big debut, but in the afterglow/ aftershock of a real game, teams are pillaging the wire to address their needs, and thus, we have our seventh trade. Two 0-1 teams swapped commodities, with WR Mike Williams going to Toronto for RB Darren McFadden. Williams is as stable a WR2 as there is in the league, with three mostly identical seasons under his belt: He'll catch 60 something balls for 900 yards, and is a good red zone target. LTP had one of the richest benches in the league, and moved RB Darren McFadden; They retain three other RB1 candidates (Martin, Bush, Richardson) for two slots, and have now compiled four WRs that are startable week in and week out (Boldin, DeSean Jackson, Antonio Brown, and now Williams) for three slots. If they can play their matchups well, they remain very well stocked in all areas, with a very high floor- no one can circle Toronto as a 'gimme' game. Phoenix goes for the upside play, hoping that McFadden can play up to the RB1 level he has shown glimmers of in the past. He already slots in ahead of similarly mercurial talents RB Ryan Mathews and RB Rashad Mendenhall for the Uprising, as their vaunted Carousel of Doom approach continues to spin.
