Things We Lost in the Firesale

| | Comments (0) |

Detroit traded wide receiver Roy Williams to the Dallas Cowboys today, just a week after firing general manager/doofus Matt Millen. The move basically sums up that everything accomplished throughout the past four seasons has been an unmitigated failure.
Granted, we, the common public, has known that for years.
Now, the move will definitely have a fantasy impact.

Though Patrick Crayton has been a relatively dependable No. 2 wideout for Dallas, Williams is a huge upgrade --- when he tries. In Dallas, I think he'll try. Temper your expectations seeing as Brad Johnson takes over for Tony Romo for the forseeable future, but late in the season, Williams could be a top-15 wideout.

Calvin Johnson's stock should go up slightly as well, as he'll be targeted more. Yes, he'll be doubled more, too, but really, he's talented enough to make it through the defense.

Terrell Owens won't be impacted much, but he'll still complain.

Here are the ups and downs:
UP: Romo (slightly), Williams (big), Calvin Johnson (slightly)
DOWN: Owens (slightly), Crayton (big)
