Big Trade Offer (1 Viewer)

[Val Rannous]

OK, big trade offer in my main league (rules: standard scoring, no PPR, Keeper league (keep 3)).  This is more of a down the road trade due to the players involved.  I'm being offered David Johnson and Amari Cooper for Christian McCaffrey and Antonio Brown.  There are a lot of huge names in there, none of which are performing to standard yet.  Unless McCaffrey blows up and becomes a top 36 player, my probable protect list for next year before the trade would be Antonio Brown, Julio Jones, and Doug Martin - if I pull the trigger it changes to David Johnson, Amari Cooper, and Julio Jones.  

With the probable leaving of Carson Palmer and Larry Fitzgerald from Arizona potentially hurting Johnson down the road, which group would you rather have?  Note that part of my problem is a serious man crush on Antonio.

I would keep Antonio and McCaffrey. McCaffrey will never be a lead back but think of a Sproles type player. There are a lot of question marks with DJ because of his situation. I'm not sure what is going on with Cooper. I have him and it"s frustrating but I have to hold. I just love the consistency of Brown. Please see mine:

If you are ok with knowing that they aren't going to help you this year I'd go with DJ. Big Ben is looking like he'll be gone next year which leaves AB's QB situation next year up in the air. Cooper and McCaffrey are both washes.

How long can  you keep the players and are there any penalties (round lost, salary cap, etc) to keep a player?  If it is keep forever and there are no penalties I think I lean towards the Brown side.
