Trade 10: Fresh Brees

On the morning of week seven, two players swapped uniforms. Only one was ready to suit up, although the other figures to be a key part of the late season push for the other.

PAWNEE ACQUIRES: QB DREW BREES
CARMEL ACQUIRES: RB DEVIN SINGLETARY

Carmel drafted Brees in the fifth round of the draft, then doubled up with Tom Brady in the 20th round; After Brees went down with a thumb injury, Brady's stepped up and been masterful in five of six games, with his seventh scheduled for tonight. Given the finicky nature of the QB Market, the cost on Brees was going to be tough to tamp down- here, the Rudy-Toos nab a RB3 with RB2 upside in Devin Singletary, a 7th rounder in our most recent draft.

Like Brees, Singletary was injured in week two, though he returned last night to underwhelming totals- the rookie is in a time share in a limited offense, though he should be given plenty of opportunities to nab a bellcow role if he can stay healthy and prove worthy. While Zeke is the main man in Carmel, Singletary and Jordan Howard are both healthy (if low-end) plays. This week Carmel went with the new guy and he disappointed, although it looks like it won't impact their victory this time.

For Pawnee, this appears to be the end of their QB odyssey- pending Brees return. After starting the year with Baker Mayfield, they traded for Daniel Jones, and now find their horse. After getting single digits at the QB spot in 5 of 7 games (and somehow, also winning 5 of 7 games) this is a major upgrade at a position of need, and should cement Pawnee as a threat to go back to the big game in 2019.
