To be fleeced or not to be fleeced

A couple weeks ago, I posted about a bunch of trade offers I posed to some folks. Here was one of those. I offer one of either Brandon Jacobs and Matt Forte plus one of either Greg Jennings or Devin Hester for Marques Colston. I was flatly turned down. Well, the owner came back to me with a different offer.

Today, I was offered a one for two trade. Marques Colston for Sidney Rice and Ricky Williams. At first glance, this seems like a decent offer. But I have dug into the numbers and here is what I am finding. In a Performance PPR league, with 12 teams, Sidney Rice now has MORE points than Colston. The other piece of the trade is the throw in of Ricky Williams, who is quietly having a solid fantasy season. Now, I have Ronnie Brown as well, but in reality, they are only about 1 fantasy point a game apart in scoring. Plus, Ronnie Brown is out this week for sure with a foot injury and who knows for the following. A fair trade would be Williams for Colston straight up for Williams if you look at the raw points of it. I think, I will stay away from this fleecing! I added the points for all the players below.

Sidney Rice - 131 pts
Ricky Williams - 148 pts
Marques Colston - 130 pts
Ronnie Brown - 161 pts

I will have to see what alternative trades I can dream up. More tomorrow.
