The Floodgates! They are Open!

Here are my knee-jerk (emphasis on 'jerk') reactions to some/most of the moves that have happened:
  • McNabb to MIN: I really didn't think the Vikes would go into the season with Ponder as their starter. I thought they'd either get Kolb or get Favre to come back. Still, I think it'll be enough to keep opposing D's honest and they do play the AFC West this year. I'll reinsert Schianco towards but not at the bottom of the TE rankings, mainly b/c I don't recall McNabb utilizing his TEs all that much in Philly but it looks like Cooley was serviceable in PPR leagues last year. AP stays where he's at, though, b/c I still like Arian better and the Vikes lost a playmaker...
  • Sidney Rice to SEA: this hurts everyone in terms of fantasy points, although I guess it's a win for Sidney's wallet. He could've been catching passes from DMac (come on, not ALL of them would've ended up at his feet) but will now probably end up trying to catch them from Tavaris Jackson. Meanwhile, back at the ranch that is the Metrodome, Percy Harvin rises.
  • Matt Hasselbeck to TEN: he takes over the 'caretaker' role that Kerry Collins filled relatively well lately. CJ2K doesn't take a hit.
  • Deangelo Williams stays in CAR: bad for him, bad for J-Stew, and MAYBE good for Knoshown Moreno in DEN b/c DWill, when healthy, would've torn up the AFC West.
  • Steve Breaston to KC: maybe this will keep some of the heat off of Dwayne Bowe, but I still don't trust Haley.

How the mighty have fallen! McNabb is traded to Minnesota for a 6th round draft pick, and is now in a short-term starter position as a "journeyman" QB while they groom Ponder. McNabb was in a similar position his rookie year when Doug Pederson was the starter until McNabb took over mid-season. He will probably join Marino, Kelly and Cunningham on the short list of big-name QBs who couldn't win the Super Bowl.
