pooleman 0 Posted October 28, 2009 I am in a 12 team auction keeper league. I am currently sitting at 2-5 but with the luck of the draw I am in a weak division and have gone through the tougher part of my schedule (should at least be 3-4 but made a mental error on a line up thing a few weeks back that cost me a W). Right now my roster looks like: Schaub, Orton R. Brown, K. Smith, R. Williams, F. Jones, S. Greene, M. Bush, B. Scott, J. Harrison M. Colston, P. Harvin, H. Nicks, M. Floyd, Berrian Witten, Keller Crosby Broncos, Carolina (do not judge me, they were playing Buffalo on denver's bye) As you can see my main weakness (if Witten would snap out of this drought) is my #2 WR position. I have Colston and a few guys that could be my #3WR. I am tired of playing match ups. Nicks is coming on, Harvin could have a bigger role due to Berrian's injury and Floyd may be given a starting role soon (which I think he could do very well in). Based on a non-PPR league scoring, 1 pt per 25 yards rec and 6 pts for TD, would you do the following trade and if so who would you rather have? I would give up Colston and my choice of another player on my roster for either M. Austin/D. Jackson and either S. Smith (NYG)/S. Holmes. I tried to get both Austin and Jackson from him by offering other names but he would not change his mind. Since this is a keeper league I need to consider that Colston can be kept for 1 more year at a ridiculously low price, but if I got either Austin or Jackson, they are pretty low in price as well and I could keep them for longer. The part I am having problems on is the fact that neither Smith or Holmes has done anything in a few weeks so I am wondering if making this deal I am only adding to my WR choices when it comes to these 2 players. They do not stand out that much from the players I have at WR now, right? I should keep Colston and hope that I continue to pick the correct WR opposite of him, right?

We Tigers 71 Posted October 28, 2009 Woof...I don't think you can give up Colston. Take Steve Smith out right away since he's lost red zone looks to both Manningham and Nicks recently; you have really TD-heavy scoring. I don't think Holmes + one of the others is worth it. I think you keep Colston and hope the matchups work. What I'd do: try to move Ricky or Felix or Shonn Greene (wait a couple of weeks if he has the "just got picked off the wire" stigma attached to him) for a lower-caliber WR. After last week, Ricky or Greene might be able to fetch you a quality WR from somebody else's team, and that's without losing Colston. http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...=0#entry4096936 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We Tigers 71 Posted October 28, 2009 Early deadline! I see no reason you can't move one of these guys in the next two days, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pooleman 0 Posted October 29, 2009 It appears he has changed his mind. The new offer on the table is: I give up Colston, S. Green and Witten For D. Jackson, M. Austin and K. Winslow I know colston is a beast but could either Jackson or Austin fill that role while I upgrade my #2WR. My roster is above. I need help. This is what I was kind of hoping but not to have to give up Witten. Any help would greatly be appreciated. will respond if you leave a link. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is what I was kind of hoping but not to have to give up Witten. Any help would greatly be appreciated. will respond if you leave a link. Winslow isn't an awful play over Witten right now anyway. I think you have to pull this deal at 2-5. Unless you play for next season and keep Colston. http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=355468 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
westskins 0 Posted October 29, 2009 I wouldn't give up Colston, (i'm trying to trade for him), unless you can't keep him for next year. He see the ball alot, Brees sprays the field and they are going to score often. Plus Green could be a cheap keeper for next year, depending on your rules.

pooleman 0 Posted October 29, 2009 Well in a $300 auction league, 12 teams 20 player rosters we can keep 4 players. Colston $11 Greene $1 Austin $15 Jackson $24 Colston can only be kept for one more year but the other 3 can be kept for a few years. I think Jackson has proven himself that he is pretty good but Austin has only had 2 amazing games which is why I am not sure I want to bet the house on him. Is there any Cowboy homers out there that can provide information that Austin is the real deal. The worse thing in the world is to trade for some and then they were a fluke.

jdibella 0 Posted October 29, 2009 The only way I would give up Colston is if I received both Austin and Jackson. If he wont' do that, I wouldn't trade him. I have a feeling he'll try and work this deal out with you if the names are right. I would pull the trigger on the trade of Colston, Greene and Witten for Jackson, Austin and Winslow. Greene is going to be a one week wonder and Witten is losing touches to Miles Austin. Do it! Thanks for responding to mine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lesman 1 Posted October 29, 2009 I'm surprised Colston is that much cheaper than Jackson. If it were just for this year, I'd make the trade. However in a keeper league, the long term value of Colston, Greene and Whitten are greater than Jackson Austin and Winslow. Greene has a ton of upside, and Whitten is one of the top TEs around. Austin is intriguing, but lets see what he does now that he is the true #1 and teams start paying more attention to him. I certainly wouldn't bet the farm on him yet.

rlb 0 Posted October 29, 2009 Desean is a beast and just as valuable as Colston in my opinion. Take the deal. Collie is highly underrated. You dont need Green. Only problem is you would need to pick up a TE this week as Keller is awful and Winslow is on his bye. Nicks is a tud by the way and this deal should be made if you start three WRs. If you only start two you ought to consider using Nicks every week as your #2 and keeping Colston. TDs in four straight games is more than just a fluke.

Smol0028 0 Posted October 29, 2009 I would take the second deal. If it was just for this year than I would say not to do it, but since you can't keep Colston for that much longer I saydo it. Jackson is awesome with tons of upside and Austin has upside. I think doing the trade will help your team this year and Jackson has a lot of upside in the future. Go for it!

pooleman 0 Posted October 30, 2009 Ok the trade has been changed slightly. What do you think about this I give up Colston, Witten and B. Scott For D. Jackson, M. Austin and Winslow (trying to get Z. miller as a throw in for Winslows bye) I don't end up giving up Greene which I may be able to use for another deal. Leave a link if you have not responded.

If you can get Z. Miller thrown in on this trade, regardless if you give up Greene or not, I think you HAVE to take this deal. I would also like to see the rest of your roster so you can get an opinion on where your keepers would go for next year after the trade. http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=355561 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
