In something of a lateral move, last year's Larkspur Bowl competitors had an even three for three swap. Two receivers and a running back went each way in the deal; Of which, evaluating the running back swap is most clear: Bilal Powell, after bouncing around the league this off season, settles in with California after a big week that solidifies his status as a solid RB2. The Law Firm's stock is dropping, but he is still rosterable as a reasonable bye week option. The swap involved four WR2s is murkier, as all four come with their own questions- only Josh Gordon is certifiably healthy, but he is surrounded by trade rumors, one strike away from a season long suspension, and questions about his commitment; But he is coming off of a fantastic week, and should not struggle for targets. Vincent Jackson has come contextual queries, as he looks to establish a rapport with a rookie quarterback. Mike Wallace looks like a true boom/bust candidate, his elite week two flanked by low yield efforts. Miles Austin is more of a high upside WR3 than a true WR2, although he carries the pedigree to be a difference maker if he can stay on the field. The mystery bag means we probably won't be able to declare a value winner until these teams have run the gamut.
