#1 (Barkley) for #6, Dalvin Cook, my former 2019 1st round pick

[GoodellsPaycheck]

What do you think? Was just offered this..deadline at 10pm

Rules and roster in sig

[darewood11]

I take cook side. The 2 1sts close the gap for me. If cook stayed healthy this season I may even have him above barkley anyways

[KilgoreT111]

That would be a real solid offer in most leagues. In a 16 team league I would gladly accept it.

[dchurch85]

Cook side easily

[Tvols]

Cook side as well .. I liked what the kid did last year before injury

[SpartacusPTech]

Barkley

[Goddard]

Cook side for me as well. You're getting a 1st for free.

In a 10-12 team league, I could sorta see maybe taking the Saquon side because he's probably the best player in the deal, but in a 16-teamer where you need serious depth? Cook++ and not really close.

[PatsFan24]

I know you had a 10pm deadline - normally I would say the Cook side in a 16 team league, but the fact you can only keep 6 players makes me lean towards Barkley. Essentially it comes down to who you like better between Barkley/Cook, but you’d probably be looking at keeping Luck, Fournette, Evans, Davis, Howard, and Barkley (assuming having these players don’t go over some sort of cap). Having Cook plus the other two extra picks really don’t do much for you in your situation unless you think you could package those picks for a better piece.

Agree with this. Did you take the deal?

Wouldn't that make 1sts a little more important for depth purposes? Top 96 players kept, then everyone else...There will be decent players to be had, plus Cook is no slouch as a keeper.

[RB6]

Cook side. Hope you took it.

[jpusmc0311]

In a 16 team league, where depth is king, I think this is an overpay for for Barkley.. Cook side for sure

yeah, not really a tough decision factoring in all the variables.

[GoodellsPaycheck]

I didn't end up taking the deal.

Love Barkley, and yea we only get to keep 6 players. So Cook would bump one of my already 6 keepers I have in place plus I am not fond of any RB with little sample size plus an ACL tear. The big thing with our league is that we get rookie tags we can use on keepers.

One rookie tag per year..this year will be used on Fournette. So it will cost me $5 to keep him this year, $10 next year, and $15 the year after. I think having Fournette and Barkley on rookie tags over the next few years is a huge advantage on the competition.

Plus the 2019 1st coming back is technically my own, and I'd be betting against myself in that case
