2017 Fantasy Football: The Seattle and New York Swap

Related Topics: Seattle, Sheldon Richardson

The Seattle Seahawks and the New York Jets have made a trade that will help both teams. Seattle gets DL Sheldon Richardson while the Jets get WR Jermaine Kearse. The Jets also get Seattle’s 2018 second-round pick, and both teams swapped seventh-round picks as well. This trade makes sense for both sides, but what fantasy football impact does this move have?

New York Jets

The fantasy value for Kearse has increased tremendously. He is now set to be the WR1 for the Jets, and could be seeing a lot of targets. With the Jets getting a veteran receiver like Kearse, it helps out their QB a lot.
