I'm overthinking this in not accepting right away, right? It's a 14-team keeper league, full PPR. I'm currently in first place.

Lineups are 1 QB, 1 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 2 Flex, D/ST, and K

I've been trying to unload some of my RB depth the past couple of weeks but this might be too good to pass up. I'm just worried about my WR depth if I accept (since we have to play 2 WR), especially if Diggs or Sanders goes down.

My Team:
P. Mahomes
B. Roethlisberger

David Johnson (KEEPER)
K. Drake
Kerryon Johnson
M. Mack
D. Lewis

A. Brown
E. Sanders
S. Diggs
T. Lockett

G. Kittle
OJ Howard

Streaming D/ST

G. Zuerlein

He's on the outside looking in to make the playoffs (currently tied for the final spot with like 3 other teams). His best WR is Fitz

Just today I've tried to get Hopkins or Julio with the package of Diggs/Mack/Drake. I will definitely accept the Saquon/Brown trade if either of these go through.

What is the keeper penalty for Barkley? Or is he just a rental for the rest of the season

He was a 1st round pick this year, so if someone used their keeper on him, they would forfeit their 1st round pick next year.

Not sure I'm following you...

ETA: We have weird keeper rule. You can keep a player for as long as you want but if you keep a player longer than one year, the keeper penalty is 2 rounds each subsequent year. So I got David Johnson in the 13th round in 2015; 13th round in 2016; 11th round in 2017; 9th round in 2018

Meaning you are doing the trade for this season without intention of keeping him next season?

Regardless, Barkley has been better straight up than Brown. I too worry about your think WR corps, though. Id say go get another WR in a trade, but your two flexes dip into your trade pieces bc you need those RBs to start.

I would do it and figure out the rest later. Maybe flip a TE and RB for another WR

Gotcha. I do not plan on using my keeper on Saquon.

I'm leaning towards pulling the trigger, but I'm still hesitant because AB has a pretty nice playoff schedule in Weeks 14-16 (@OAK, vs NE, @NO), while Saquon has some tough matchups in Weeks 14/15 (@WSH, vs TEN) but @IND in Week 16.
