I would add another major fantasy implication to the list - Reggie Bush. You mentioned a potential drop off in his receiving stats. I don't see it that way. I think the trade benefits him in two ways. First of all, Shockey is a devastating run blocker - if the Saints can convince him to fill that role. Bush has always shown the tendency to want to get to the corner and now he has a guy who will keep defenders from flying around the edge. In addition, Shockey's presence near the goal line could mean that defenses can't key in on Reggie. I also felt, prior to the Shockey trade, that the Saints improvements on defense could help Bush put up more consistent rushing totals. Bush is currently projected for about 1200 total yards and 8 total tds. He bested that during his rookie campaign and would have last year if it weren't for injury. His ADP is 31, RB17. The hype machine has completely disappeared, and now the pendulum has swung too far in the other direction. Its a great time to buy low on Reggie Bush. Well done.
