Decision rule

Treat the gap like a tiebreaker.

Use the 1QB discount and six-point passing-TD result to price the swap; if neither creates distance, treat this as a conviction trade.

Yes, the current baseline supports treating Cam Ward and C.J. Stroud as straight-up trade peers. A manager can still prefer either side, but the model does not support a large automatic add. Injury status, starting-lineup need, and manager-specific preference are outside this model.
