Marques Colston - For REAL?

Grogan14 · 09-11-2006, 02:19 PM

I was watching a bit of the Saints-Browns game yesterday and saw Marques Colston. He seemed like he was the #2 reciever. Normally that wouldn't interest me too much, but in Yahoo he is cross referenced as a TE where he could be valuable. The guy is a 7th round pick out of Hofstra, probably for a reason - but the announcers were saying he is the reason they traded Stallworth. What do people think, is this kid for real?

I sure hope he's for real. I drafted (and started) him as my TE in a Yahoo league. I was pleased with Sunday's results considering I drafted him in the 14th round (last TE taken).
I don't think Horn will be his old self this season. I'm banking on Colston to get a good amount of looks. I didn't watch the game so I'm not sure how many times Brees targeted him.
Keep an eye on this guy, he may pay dividends.

Not sure he is the real deal after just 1 week of play, but it does appear the saints are high on him if they let Stallworth go. It will be interesting to keep an eye on him. IMO he will have good games and bad games.. an overall good season with lots of ups and downs.. Not sure someone you want to count on in fantasy football...

I have Whitten as my starting TE, but have some serious weakness in depth at WR. If Colston has another good week, I'm thinking of trading Colston to a team in need of a TE for a quality WR. It's risky, but I need the WR help.
