TRADE 2: IT'S HAPPENING

Lo and behold, a trade occurred: Pawnee lost Greg Olsen for a good chunk of time and was in need of a tight end; they managed to score a young running back at the same time. For New York they shore up their third RB situation and gain some depth at WR.

PAWNEE ACQUIRES: RB CHRIS CARSON & TE DAVID NJOKU

NEW YORK ACQUIRES: RB JACQUIZZ RODGERS & WR KENDALL WRIGHT

Pawnee acquires two rookies: David Njoku has a high ceiling as an athletic playmaker, and while his floor won't approach the consistent production G-Reg has offered in recent years, he offers an excitement quotient that only a few others at the position could reach. Perhaps the greater prize is Chris Carson, coming off a solid workload in week two. There's a lot of horses in the Seahawk backfield, but Carson is the youngest and healthiest and appears to be in pole position: If he can fortify a bellcow role, this trade becomes a coup.

New York's premier running back is Todd Gurley; They trotted out the ghost of Adrian Peterson in the first two weeks of the season while awaiting the return of Doug Martin, suspended until week five. Rather than roll the dice on Carson keeping the lion's share, they've insured themselves by getting Muscle Hamster's batterymate, Quizz Rodgers. With the primary role safely his for another couple weeks, the Finest will then either hope one takes the lead (or ride the hot hand) or wait for All Day Adrian to come back to prominence despite his advanced age and indiscernible role.

In Kendall Wright the Finest get a reclamation project, a failed first round pick that is being given another opportunity to live up to the hype; There is a lot of target volume to be had in Chicagoland, and if Wright can show himself to be the dynamic playmaker he was in college, he might sneak into WR2 territory this season. He's got a good angle to be a better flex option than Njoku, who was buried behind Jared Cook and Evan Engram in New York.
