TRADE 6: Such Great Depths

A father-son depth swap- RB for WR.

New York acquires:
WR Allen Hurns

Margaritaville acquires:
RB Shonn Greene

It's a straight forward move- depth role player for depth role player. Allen Hurns has been moved twice since his big week one, and he's batting .500% in the subsequent two games. He's a big play threat, the boom or bust risky plug-in at WR: he will either hit for a big play and contribute to the W, or he won't and whatever negligible gains he brings will leave your team at a disadvantage. Other side of the coin, Shonn Greene offers a safety net at RB: He's unlikely to score a zero if pressed into duty, but his upside is capped. He's a safe bet to chip in 8-10 points week-in and week-out, so he won't lose a matchup, but he won't be winning one outright either.

Neither of these players appear to be every week starters, but byes and injuries will press them (and players like them) into action a few times a year- playing them in the right week might be dumb luck, but it could be a masterstroke on the fringes.
