Sounds like they might place him on IR and just needed a back to push for playoffs this year.

Yup. They're a run first team and is seems their bell cow isnt able to carry the load right now.

As losers of three out of their last 4 - something had to change.

Just checked the JAX stats and Yeldon is averaging over 5 yds per carry - so he's carrying his load - but he might be nicked up as he's questionable for this week:

Yeldon (foot/ankle) returned to a limited practice Thursday. (about 1 day ago)

I loved Jamaal Charles back in the day - he was a wonder to behold on my FF team - but I think his better days are behind him. So if Fornette's out/limited and Yeldon goes down - JAX would have been pretty much out of luck from the RB position. Hence - dropping a 5 to get Hyde.

Pretty meh trade. Neither love it or hate it. Hyde is really solid, so a fifth seems weak, but I don't think anyone believed he was in our long-term plans. I thought he'd be here two years at the most. I think this might have been Dorsey's way of getting Chubb and Duke more carries. Hopefully Chubb can improve quickly as a pass protector, but he's definitely been our best pure runner so far this year... although his sample size is criminally low.

I still don't understand why Hyde got as many snaps and touches as he did for Cleveland anyway. Duke and Chubb are both blatantly better options.

Either because:

A.  Chubb needs a lot of work when it comes to pass protection.

B. Our coaching staff is inept.

C: A mix of A and B.

Isn't Duke kind of the passing game specialist anyway?

I dunno, just seems kinda straight forward to me that they should've gone Chubb as the main runner and Duke as the passing down specialist type.

Been stashing Nick Chubb for this day. About damn time.

Most teams that draft top 10 RB's will regret it.  Giants offense is bad, DAL offense is bad, CAR offense is bad, JAGS offense is bad.  I mean how much more evidence to you need.

Only team is LA who was lucky enough to land a boy genius for a coach.

You really undermined your own argument. Gurley is the centerpiece to the undefeated Rams. Barkley is about the only thing the Giants have going for them right now on offense. If they replace Eli, they're set. Zeke Elliott is the Cowboys offense (and led them to the playoffs as a rookie). And the Jags have looked quite good with Fournette.
