Picture
Sitting at 1-2, Cliburn and Schmidt decided to shake things up. Schmidt gave up the number one TE in the game to Cliburn for the fourth-highest scoring TE and the fourth-highest scoring WR (Jordan Reed and Steve Smith, respectively). It's a risky move for Cliburn, who now needs to find a WR3 somewhere in a crowd that includes names like Darius Heyward-Bey, Marqise Lee, Devin Funchess, and Devante Parker. Meanwhile, Schmidt gets more depth at WR and not too much of a drop off at TE. After the trade, Cliburn's projected victories went down by two, and FantasySP.com's trade analyzer liked Schmidt's haul more. 
But Cliburn is undeterred. With Gronkowski on a bye, it's possible the 'Mericans fall to 1-3, but this puts them in a better position for the playoffs if they can find a replacement-level WR3 in the interim.
