The NFL blew up this week with a record amount of trades. In years past, there were usually two or three trades of meaningless players as teams just swapped past mistakes or tried to get a seventh-round pick for a player they had no intention of keeping the next season.
The beautiful part about a trade in Week 8 is that it resets the depth charts for both the losing and winning teams involved in the transaction. Change means opportunity. Popular opinion on players that change teams in the off-season can be more inaccurate because they are in a new environment with all new teammates and coaches. It is a good thing – it gives fresh starts for the traded player and a bump up for whatever player backed him up on his old team.
This week I am very interested in what will happen for both sides of the more fantasy-related trades.
