Colston for Arian Foster - WHIR

[5wallace]

Standard scoring, non-ppr. Would you trade Colston straight up for Foster? I would not have to make any roster changes, Foster would fill straight in for Colston at a RB/WR Flex position.

Thanks guys.

Without knowing your depth, I'd rather have Foster in the flex.

Sure, if you want to lose this year.

Listen, every single year a Foster comes around and looks good, and gets hype, but come on, Colston for AF, just back away from that deal and forget you ever heard about it.

I have Colston ranked a mile higher than Foster; to me it is not even close.

What about Colston for Lesean McCoy? I think I could probably also get this out of him.

It is a straight points for points trade. I will not have to make any adjustments to my roster, so I would basically be subbing McCoys weekly points for Colstons.

Without knowing who is on your team; that question becomes more challenging. I am trying to understand why you are so interested in trading away Colston. Depending on the format that you are in; I have him in the WR10-15 range....a low end WR1; high end WR2 type of pick with WR1 upside.

I wasn't looking for a trade, but this was proposed. My league starts 1RB, 2WR and 2WR/RB flexes.

Starting RBs - Javid Best, Ahmad Bradshaw
Bench - R. Williams, Buckhalter, F.Taylor, F. Jackson, K. Huggins

Starting WRs - Austin, M. Wallace, M. Colston
Bench - Mike Thomas, Jacoby Jones

Basically, I would be able to sub L. McCoy straight up for Colston. I am not super eager for the deal, but Colston worries me. He is on a team with so many weapons. But this trade would hurt my WR depth on my bench. I am deeper at RB on the bench, as you can see.

What worries me the most is that if I trade Colston, although I still have 2 good starting WRs, I have nothing really left if either of them goes down. If I lose a starting RB now, I have plenty on the bench to fill in. But I am always of the mind that a good RB is just going to be more consistent than a good WR.

[FantasyFanatic]

Given the depth you have at WR; I would not let Colston go. You have a couple of guys at RB that if they break out you are golden. You really need to work on improving your WRs if anything.

[5wallace]

I am starting to agree with you. I like my team as is, and it would definitely scare me a little to go into the regular season with such short WR depth.

Thanks for all the help.

My pleasure buddy; good luck this year.
