TRADE 9: To the 3rd Power

An interesting little swap in the shadow of late waiver clearance.

Hill Valley acquires:
WR Cecil Shorts III

Pawnee acquires:
RB Khiry Robinson

Hill Valley gets a high upside WR3 with some obvious issues: notably, injuries have limited to three games thus far, though he has been a productive piece in two of them. Should Shorts stay healthy and continue to get double digit looks, he is an optimal flex play in any given week. Pawnee had a short term RB need, with three of its four quality runners laid up for the coming week. Khiry has been stout and serviceable, and while he may be ticketed for a reserve role going forward, he's a better option than most of the waiver wire drek. Perhaps Shorts could have netted more, but with his explosive hamstrings, the Pacers may have been inclined to ship him before his health flared up and sunk his value again.
