There are asteroid-impact-sized NFL moves. These moves hit with explosiveness that reverberate across the league — from their own results to the fantasy impact of those around them.

Herschel Walker didn’t set the world on fire the way many thought he would after he was dealt from the Cowboys to the Vikings in the 1990s. One recent one you might recall is Russell Wilson to the Broncos. Sure, he had three 100-yard games to close out the season — games that didn’t matter to the Rams, so no urgency. He also scored six of his seven touchdowns over the final six games. Depending on TD-dependent running backs is never wise. So maybe that swell of production was artificial?Yeah, you say, but it isn’t as if Mattison has done well this season.

Thesis: This is bad for fantasy managers. Mattison now has competition in the backfield, so that volume you were expecting is not going to happen. And both Mattison and Akers are so bad, neither is good enough to fend off the other, so expect a workload split that undermines both.
