Tom Brady for Chris Johnson

This is a broader, more complex overall deal but at the end of the day the core pieces are Brady & CJ2K.  

Matt Cassel for Miles Austin & Stevan Ridley

In one of the bigger deals of this season, though much smaller than Chris Johnson & Calvin Megatron Johnson for Phillip Rivers, this one will impact the playoff races in both the AFC & NFC conferences.  

South Whore Jibbers ships WR Miles Austin & RB Stevan Ridley ($3, '13) to the BeaverCats for QB Matt Cassel ($55, '13).  

Post Week 2 Sunday Thoughts...

Below are some random thoughts following week 2 (sans MNF game).  It's been an incredible aerial attack to kick off the 2011 NFL season, I can't imagine this pace will continue. 

2011 Fantasy Football Rookie Rankings

I love the NFL draft because it creates some clarity for team depth charts and most importantly brings new talent into the league.  This year, thanks to the lockout, the draft takes on more importance than any other over the past 24 years I've been following the draft, because there's been no free agency or trades, thus resulting in NFL teams applying need based selections more than I can remember in past drafts.  

Tom Brady, Michael Turner for Matt Sanchez, Ryan Mathews and more...

This is the blockbuster deal we all were looking for, and is a direct counter to what Fuego did last weekend to pick up Drew Brees.  

James Jones for Sammie Morris & $

Small but potentially significant deal long-term.  

Randy Moss & David Garrard for LeSean McCoy

Chaulk this deal up to one that only happens in the dynasty league, deep format fantasy world.  But even in that world where the PAFFL lives, this is a pretty one sided one. 

Plenty of Stud PAFFL QB's Available in '10

Unlike what we witnessed in '09 where there were essentially only 2 of the top 15 fantasy quarterbacks open and available at this year's annual auction (Tom Brady & Peyton Manning), due to expiring contracts, this next year's auction will see approximately 8 of the top 15 open. 

Greg Jennings for Steve Smith & Laurence Maroney: Fantasy Football Trade

Team Kitty and the PA Short Bus hook up on a deal. This is a classic salary dump where one person's crap is another person's gem (Greg Jennings).  

Ben Roethlisberger & stuff for Eli Manning & stuff: Fantasy Football Trade

Huge fantasy football deal in the PAFFL this past week between the Fightin' Irie and Firkin Crawlers.  This is a major deal that could have a big impact down the stretch.
