Anybody trade Colston, since the injury? (1 Viewer)

I'm considering offering Colston straight up to the Braylon, TJ Housh, & Ocho Cinco owners. Anybody offered/get offered anything like this?

Are these guys so down on their bust/stud WRs that they'll give up 4 weeks of them to get a stud WR in a hot offense?

 
At least those would be legit players for Colston. This abortion went through in one of my leagues.

Single T gave up

Hasselbeck, Matt SEA QB

Jenkins, Michael ATL WR

Randle El, Antwaan WAS WR

Spidy gave up

Colston, Marques NOS WR

 
I just got offered Edwards for Colston and my 2nd. I like the long term potential of both pretty equally so I turned it down. (didn't like giving up the pick and he wouldn't budge).

 
I have been offered Fitz and Tarvaris for Colston and Rodgers. I am considering it. I would have both Boldin and Fitz, but it may be worth it.

 
I (a Colston owner) rejected last week the following:

Joey Galloway, Anthony Gonzales, plus one of Kurt Warner/Bobby Engram

for

Marques Colston

I countered with Portis + Colston for one of Terrell Owens/Steve Smith + Johathan Stewart ... and he shot that down. No deal was made.

 
For the OP, I'd trade him for Braylon.

I made this deal to acquire Colston in a PPR Dynasty, call me crazy:

GAVE: S. Jackson, Roy Williams, Chambers

GOT: R. Bush, Colston, Sweed

With enough at WR3/4 to win until he got back, I saw this deal as a no brainer. Those who don't have the firepower to stave off losses the next few weeks would undoubtedly shy away from this.

 
I approached the Colston owner in one league to guage interest, thinking along the lines of a Roddy for Colston ( his WR spotty beyond Colston and you can start 4 ).

Got offered Colston and Lendale for Calvin Johnson and Reggie Bush. I think we were a bit apart on potential value, so declined to counter.

 
I just acquire Colston in a dynasty league. Gave up James Hardy, Devin Thomas, Reggie Brown and a mid to late 1st round rookie pick next year.

 
I just picked up Colston off of waivers. I had the 7th position. WHAAAAAAAAAAAATTT!!! The owner that drafted him, dropped him for VJax. I don't know what other owners in this league are thinking. It's an office league, not a Yahoo Public.

 
As a Colston owner, I tried feeling out his value right after the injury since I only had really unproven backups(DJax and AGonz). Seems like the guy's value dropped to nearly worthless as I got laughed at when I tried to set up packages for the second-tier WRs. I guess an injury requiring surgery is always a major red flag, but I read that the exact same thing happened to him in College and he was back in a very short time.

Really wish I hadn't drafted him, as this looks like an incredible buy low opportunity for a guy who should put up some of the best ppg numbers in the playoffs.

I'm holding him for the very reason you state: Can't imagine other owners will offer proper value for him at this point.I'd rather stash him on IR and hopefully get him back mid-season.

Have gotten a few fishing trips, most recent was Slaton and Anthony Gonzalez for Colston. Haven't gotten any interest in an underperforming stud WR for Colston.
 
I acquired Colston and Fitz for Cotchery, Lee Evans, Eddie Royal, and Felix Jones. A PPR league, re-draft. The seller had WR injury problems (Burleson as well) and needed depth.

 
Offered Eli Manning for Colston (owner has major QB issues with Campbell and Bulger.) I got a counter of Colston and Michael Jenkins for Eli and Kevin Walter (currently my WR3). I think I'm going to pass.

 
I just traded Torry Holt straight up for Colston. I also have Randy Moss, Reggie Wayne and Santonio Holmes, so I felt like I could wait on Colston. Also trying to move Moss at this point for Calvin Johnson or Brandon Marshall.

 
I'm toying with this offer:

I give: Colston, J.Stewart, Sproles

I get: Andre Johnson, A.Gonzalez, trash TBD

I have RB depth and he's an LT owner.

 
Alright...I just dealt Colston/Rodgers for Fitzgerald/Palmer. I had Boldin on my roster, so I turned around and flipped him for Jacobs. So, new new line-up is Cutler/ADP/Jacobs/AJohnson/Fitzgerald/Galloway(+)/Scheffler

I need to do some work on the waiver wire for WR3, but can't argue with the rest of the squad - considering I had my 2nd round pick go down.

 
I just traded

Cotchery

JT O Sullivan

Selvin Young

for

Colston

Jonathan Stewart

He had no backup QB (with a QB bye looming next week), and I have Calvin Johnson and Marshall in a Start 2 WR/1 Flex league. I have Larry Johnson as a #2 RB and Selvin was my #3. Since LJ has been brutal and Selvin is in a 3-headed monster, I felt I needed an upgrade at RB. I thought Colston was a nice pickup for a late season boost, possibly starting as my flex and Stewart as my #2 RB (if LJ continues to be worthless).

I liked it more before everyone decided O'Sullivan was amazing and Martz declared he's the best QB in the universe, but... shrug. I have Cutler and Schaub also.

 
I saw a Colston for RONALD CURRY trade go through in a money league website.

I vehemently protested this travesty to the "league commissioner" to no avail. They thought it was a more-than-legit deal.

Frankly I'm surprised Colston's retaining this much value.

The guy's likely to miss more than half of the remaining fantasy regular season: through week 7 with the thumb (that'd be 6 weeks post-op), and then the Saints' bye rolls around in week 9. Heck the Saints could conceivably hold Colston out until after their bye week, in which case folks wouldn't get anything out of the guy prior to week 10.

That amount of absence deserves a much bigger discount, IMO.

He's retaining value because he plays in a high-powered offense with a top-four QB. Although it hurts his owners to lose him for 4-6 weeks, the worst case scenario has him back on the field by week 8, plenty of time to help push for the fantasy playoffs. His matchups in week 14-16 are favorable.

I'm not sure that's a worst case scenario. If I were a Colston owner, I would be more than a little worried that he's not back at 100% by that point.
 
Didn't Colston have the same surgury Kobe Bryant just turned down going through because they told him he would miss 12 weeks?

 
In discussion with me trading:

Colston

Cotchery

DeSean

for:

Owens

Rivers

He has no WR2 and Peyton at QB. Not sure I'd actually pull the trigger, this is just our preliminary proposal that got both of us thinking. But IMO, it speaks directly to Colston's potential value, as the only reason I'm hesitating is because if he comes back in a reasonable amount of time, say, Week 7, I feel he can equal or surpass TO's production down the stretch.

 
Received an MFL injury report (via KFFL I beliee) that says he is still in a cast but out of a sling. So basically nothing has changed much.

 
In a PPR I offered:

Driver

Ronnie Brown

Cassel

FOR

Colston

Rodgers

He also has McNabb and Kitna.

REJECTED.

He countered:

Plaxico

Cassel

FOR

Rodgers

Colston

I rejected.

Not sure what your QB situation is, but if you were in need of one, that is an awesome deal for you. I think you're way off about Colston surpassing Owens.

I could be off on Colston value post-injury, just my personal bias, I like the guy and was expecting big things from the NO passing offense. I have Eli at QB and intention would then be to flip one of Rivers or Manning to restock my WR depth.
