We had a unique transaction last night, as Binghamton and South Philly split their deal in two parts, with half impacting* week four and the other half applied to week five. First two QBs switched huddles, then two Running Backs. Impacting gets an asterisk as both teams still ended up on the losing end in week four, despite their daring dance.
BINGHAMTON ACQUIRES: QB AARON RODGERS & RB NICK CHUBB
PHILADELPHIA ACQUIRES: QB MATT RYAN & RB RONALD JONES II
Rapid reaction would see the Snipers gain an advantage here; Aaron Rodgers has been lighting it up to date, and his 30 points trounced Matty Ice's 10 in the immediate thereafter. That said, it's a long season and a toss up on which QB stays healthy and scores more the rest of the way. Advantage Rodgers, but not by such a longshot.
Meanwhile, the Snipers sell high on Ronald Jones II, turning his big day into an investment in their future. Nick Chubb's injury will keep him out a minimum of three weeks- the sooner he is able to return (and return at full strength) the better this deal works out for Binghamton; Already holding Kareem Hunt, they're hedging their bet here, and should benefit from the lack of a timeshare in the short term.
Philadelphia would like to see Jones keep the bellcow role, as a Fournette timeshare would tamp down his upside. Still, he's upright, (which is more than can be said for Chubb) and productive, a reasonable plug and play beside rookie Jonathan Taylor. At 1-3, Philly is alright shifting to must-win mode, while betting hard on their favored quarterback.
