TRADE 1: From Top to Bottom

Our first trade of the season saw 2013's worst and first flip a couple of players.

Phoenix acquires:
RB Trent Richardson
WR Josh Gordon

Pawnee acquires:
RB Darren McFadden
WR Markus Wheaton

Defending cellar dweller Pawnee moves their 6th and 7th pick for defending champion Phoenix's 16th and 17th pick; On the surface this would seem like a bad move, but one of the players headed to the Uprising is almost certain to be suspended for the season: superstar/toxic asset Josh Gordon. With his projections near zero, it's likely this is more of a two for one move, where Phoenix is getting noted underachiever Richardson in exchange for another disappointing RB, Darren McFadden. While Richardson has been an inefficient runner to date, McFadden's issues have been mostly healthy related over the years; Perhaps sharing duties will help him remain upright and electric. WR Markus Wheaton is the wildcard here- he's likely to outscore Gordon, by virtue of touching the field, and could turn out to be one of the league's better flex options.
