In your league, what has Colston been traded for since his injury? Or, what has the Colston owner been offered?

there was a pretty active thread about this the other week. if you do a quick search for colston you should turn it up. it might even just be a page or two back. lots of good info in it ...

Seems like the longer you go without trading him, the less you need to trade him. I've made it this far, I'm hoping I can hang on another 4-5 weeks.
tonystrong
Footballguy
Did that. Wasn't on the first couple of pages. Also, I'd like to see some recent trades too. Want to see if value dropped or rised as the weeks go on. The owner in my league put him on the trading block so I was wondering what people were getting for him in other leagues.

He is out another 4 or 5 weeks? I thought they said 4 weeks originally, we should mean another 2 weeks.

I started the other thread.
My story- I offered him up for several underachieving WRs that are not injured. The best offer I got was for Ocho Cinco, I passed.

Earlier tonight I offered my Santonio Holmes for Colston... As I predicted, I was turned down; other owner sees Pitt O-line problems like everyone else... I agree w/ above: if you want to acquire Colston, better do it soon.

I just offered Warner for Colston in response to an inquiry from another team asking about Warner..awaiting response.

i was offered Chester Taylor, Maroney, and David patten for Colston in a 12 team TD heavy dynasty. Chester would have cuffed ADP for me. i turned it down
Moe Green

Hmm. I might have taken that offer.
I made a thread earlier in the week about how to find thousands of accepted trades, sorted by date, in tens of thousands of leagues. Search for threads I started, it'll be there.

When the news broke I took a chance and traded my Roddy White for him.

This is a similar situation in my league. The team with which I am attemtp trading has ADP, QB Bulger(StL) as him starting QB, and his best WR is WR Jennings(GB) in a 3 WR start league. I offered him QB Edwards(Buf), who is #14 in our rankings and is higher than any available FA QB, RB C. Taylor(Min), and WR Royal(Den) for WR Colston(NO). He is struggling at 0-3, and I am 3-0 and can afford to wait on Colston. No word yet. This league has relatively few trades, and many teams are risk averse. I thought it was a fair offer.

No way, thats nothing but roster fodder. Colston will be a top 5-8 WR during the 2nd half of the season. I cant imagine starting any of those other guys if your team is going to make a championship run.

This is a much better offer, and the other guy would probably be wise to take it.

Was just having trade discussions with a leaguemate who has Witten but nothing at WR. Was floating trial balloons to try to get Witten. Essentially offer Colston + Fasano for Witten + Scrub WR. He wouldn't do it.
.5ppr 14-team where Witten is TE1 and Fasano TE2.

The Colston owner sent me a trade offer of Colston for MJD. I declined.

I was frantic to dump Colston for any decent WR2 when he went down, due to having very weak bench WRs. Nobody bit, and now I'm glad.
I read on the Saints' board that Colston told a beat writer he will definitely play in Week 6 vs Oakland. It's big news over there, although nobody knows how credible it is. I doubt anyone would start him that first game being rushed back, but he'd be usable by week 7, if the report is true.

I was just offered Colston and Javon Walker for Braylon Edwards....I rejected. Im considering offering him Edwards for Colston and Driver...not sure if i want that though...
1. Nobody knows when he's coming back.2. Nobody knows how he'll play when he comes back.You want high end players for pure SPECULATION? Give me a break. The most I'd offer for Colston would be a current no.3 wide receiver who has upside (Ocho, Holmes, Edwards). But even for me to consider that I'd have to have pretty solid depth because it's likely that no.3 I give up was probably a bye week guy for me. You want me to give up a solid bye week guy for a player that might not return for another 4-5 weeks? I'm not sure where that gets me...Burning Sensation said:
The Colston owner in my league has QB issues with Anderson as his #1 QB. I just offered him Griese & Antonio Bryant for Colston. I know he probably won't take it but the other owner is young and likes current trends. With Griese & Bryant coming off the big week, I am hoping for a miracle. Still waiting on the response.
Billy Ball Thorton

No need to worry about weather or not to offer that, he would be a huge GUPPY to except that. This is not the 2007 Braylon Edwards were talking about.. Add a potential QB switch up and you should have taken the first offer....IMO

Serious question - What was Colston ranked before the injury?
MCguidance
Footballguy
IIRC it was 7 by FBGs going into week 1.
tombonneau
Footballguy
With Shockey already gimped up, I'd think he'd have a chance to be even better moving forward. (Assuming the thumb is 100% with no setbacks.)
MCguidance
Footballguy
Yeah, similar to last year's second half production. We'll see, a lot of things have to go right before then.

Colston's thumb injury is a very common one with virtually the same timetable in each instance (4-6 wks), yet the consensus about his prognosis is overwhelmingly negative here. Color me a rosy Colston owner, but I see a lotta chicken littles squawking about him as if the majority of his season is in jeopardy. Huh? If his injured thumb is really the great unknown some of you are making it out to be, why did doctors give Roscoe Parrish the exact same time frame? Or Drew Stanton. Or Bills TE Derek Fine. Or Angels SS Maicer Izturis. Or Adrian Beltre, who played the entire season with a torn ligament in his thumb. Or Brian Brohm for Louisville in his '06 season. David Givens had the same surgery in 2006 and missed four games only to tear his ACL his first game back. I've yet to find a case of a player with this injury missing extensive time beyond the initial prognosis.
The thumb is obviously important to the duties of an NFL wide receiver, but Anthony Gonzalez dislocated his thumb with a partially torn ligament (iirc) last season in week 10. He was supposed to miss 3-4 weeks. He came back three weeks later. His post-injury game logs:
6/105
1/22
6/134/2TD
7/86/1 TD
2/22

Colston's had the same injury before and he's familiar with the rehab routine. He will be fine.

That is all great, but give us some empirical proof that he might return even one week earlier. Because right now his bye has him so he only gets one game back, then off another week, so it would be week 9 or 10 before he can seriously impact a team. Some seasons are sewn up by then however he could be a great addition to a team that needs a boost.

I traded Colston away just this morning. The other owner is weak at QB and I have Cutler. I sent him Rodgers, Colston and Ward for TO and a Derek Anderson.
My two WR are now Marshall and TO.

Nobody knows when he is coming back?
I do, 2-4 weeks.I also know when he comes back, he will play like Marques Colston, a top 5-8 WR. Guys like that win you championships, not part time players like Maroney, Chester Taylor, or Henderson.
tombonneau
Footballguy
Wow. Not sure what the other guy has at WR, but I'm sure he's thrilled with that trade. I take it you don't have a high opinion of Colston? Certainly a win for you in the short-term I suppose, but this deal certainly speaks to the varying opinions as to Colston's value ...carolina_21 said:

He's already got Cutler and now he has wr # 1 and # 2. I think it's a fair trade and probably a good one for both teams. It's not like he got chopped liver.......

The empirical proof is right there in the examples I gave. In the solid majority of cases I've found so far, the player returned after four or five weeks and not six, seven, or eight. Therefore, there's just as good a chance that Colston plays well before their bye in week 9. Four weeks from Sept 9 is October 7, which would put him in line to play week 6 against Oakland. That game would be almost five weeks from the date of his surgery. But let's say he doesn't play then but plays the following week instead in week 7. That's almost six weeks from the date of his surgery. But no, that's not possible to the skeptics here who insist he'll be out through the bye just because. Why would the Saints hold him out until week 10 if he's ready to play week 6 or 7? Now please give me some empirical proof of players with the same or similiar injury who were out longer than the six-week time frame.gregjcross said:

I was offered Santana Moss for Colston and declined. This was in a dynasty league. However, I considered making the deal since I have a shot at the title this year and this week the byes are tough. Moss was later traded to another owner.

He could very easily be back week 6. His bye is week 9.gregjcross said:

I own colston and just got bit my the injury bug again. Westy and Parker. I am going to offer Colston for Holt straight up. not sure I can wait until week 6-7 and hope he has no lingering effects with the thumb
beavers
Footballguy
I think you can do better than Holt IMO.
the colston owner in my league DROPPED him after his injury was announced. of course, this is the same genius that drafted vince young with his 4th pick -- after taking Roethlisberger with his 2nd.
i knew expansion of my 10-team league was a bad idea.
anyway, i jumped on him and patiently await his return.

I'm in 3rd place, Colston owner is in last place in Total Pts.
I offered him Santonio Holmes and Ron Curry for Colston and Brandon Lloyd.
I figured I've done fine without Holmes so far, not sure how much longer he can afford to miss Colston. I'd take Lloyd for Curry as "payment" on the extra couple weeks I don't have Colston.

Considering what everyone is giving him away for here, i just offered up Gates in a non-TE, PPR league.
