It's not easy to clear a field with a tiny exchange, but that's what the Jacksonville Jaguars did on Friday afternoon. Well done, men. We want to bowling with you.
The Jags sent a fifth round pick to Cleveland for RB Carlos Hyde. Jacksonville can not say it and say it, but the movement clearly indicates how he sees the rest of the backfield. T.J. Yeldon? Not really a long-term answer. Leonard Fournette? Not one, they can be safe.
Jaguars perspectives
Yeldon will be fine for week 7 – he is confirmed to start against Houston, Fournette is absent (and probably until after the end of week 9), and Hyde should not play. But it is difficult to have a lot of optimism in the future. Fournette remains one of the best players possible, but his drawbacks are also obvious: he may not play at all. Yeldon becomes the king of irony, a JAG on the Jags. Maybe Hyde will be fine if Fournette can not come back quickly, but his value was sharper on the Browns.
The owners of Hyde can be convinced by two things. First, it is not so difficult for an exchanged runner to embark on a new offense, even in the middle of the year. This is an extremely difficult task for other skill positions. In addition, the Jaguars' offensive line was better than Cleveland's this year, so Hyde might be hoping for a better stalemate on the road. But its ultimate value is directly related to the fact that Fournette can come back and what he is capable of doing.
Chubb the obvious beneficiary in Cleveland
Things are good on the other side of this deal, with the Cleveland backfield open for new business. Rookie Nick Chubb finally has the chance to show what he can do as a lead (remember, Hyde is the third in the rushing squad) and Duke Johnson's role should also be expanded. Chubb's first activity is a juicy affair, a Sunday mission to Tampa. The Browns are also playing in Pittsburgh, Kansas City (Bingo) and Atlanta (Yahtzee) before week 11.
To this day, Chubb has been claimed in all competitive leagues, if he was not already possessed. The fantasy owners left behind by these moves could be interested in Oakland, where Marshawn Lynch (groin) is missing for several weeks and possibly the entire season. Doug Martin could resurrect and offer fantastic value, or maybe the time has come to invest to recover Jalen Richard. Oakland is off at week 7.
