Do you think it's safe to say Colston

[Tarheel Boy 0]

In my TD league I've sat him the last couple of weeks because I thought Horn would be Brees go to guy, but I'm thinking I need to put Colston in my starting lineup. The bad thing is I have Driver and Boldin as my starters. Hard to sit a dude that's been a TD machine so far.

I would not go out there and call him the clear cut #1...86 of those yards came off a play at the end with the CAR D sleeping...but there is no denying that he is a talent and should have a good season, great season actually, considering that you picked him up on the WW.

he's not #1....joe horn is....

 

 

but he seems to be playing a spot that brees likes to look at....

 

#2 and #3 guys dont always draw the #1 db and he is flat out exposing whoever is facing him....

[Marckus 0]

oh yeah played him this week and its sweet

I'm thinking that Horn is probably the go to guy for 3rd downs and such, but for big plays and red zone TD's I'm thinking Colston is the guy. Horn will have more receptions and yards, but I think Colston will have more TDs that will balance out. I just don't like having Colston on the bench putting up TDs while I'm waiting for Boldin to repeat his week 1 performance. And I think Boldin's numbers are going to diminish with Leinert in the starting lineup. I'm hoping I'm wrong.

Horn is the no. 1 guy on paper only. Colston has scored 58 pts vs. Horns 26 pts (according to my league's scoring). Do the math and you'll see that Colston has outscored R. Bush as well. And let's not hear the, "If you take away his 86 yd reception...blah, blah, blah." If anything, take that long reception as an exclamation as to his playmaking ability.

 

People have been talking about Colston constantly since the beginning of the season. People were apprehensive starting him against Atlanta last week and what does he do? He gains 97 yds. Althoug people were saying he MIGHT do well vs. a good Carolina D, what does he do? Puts up 132 yds. and a TD. Throw in the other 2 TDs he's scored this season, and you've got someone who has scored in 3 of 4 games; the game he didn't score, he put up the aforementioned 97 yds. with 7 receptions. While I'm on the subject of receptions, those who have him in PPR leagues are salivating with his 20 catches.

 

I'm not ready to say everything I want, but suffice it to say I'm ecstatic having this guy on my roster. Hopefully he'll be able to around my season.

 

FYI: my no. 1 guy, T. Holt, has outscored Colston so far by only 5 pts. Now that's a statement...SCOREBOARD! Now could someone please explain to me how Joe Horn is the no. 1 guy in NO?

im not saying that horn is #1 based on looks, # of catches etc...

 

im saying depth chart wise...and thats good for colston and others...

 

a solid guy at #1..say TO for instance...attracts attention and #2 guys (glenn) get a chance to shine...

 

chad johnson #1 and well..the other bengal wideouts getting wide open looks....(why am i explaining this? we all know..im confusing myself..my brain has taken a 34-6 whippin and imnot thinking straight)..

[boogaloobboy 0]

I define number one not by the depth chart but by the coverage scheme. Saints just played the Falcons and Horn got the majority of Deangelo Hall's attention. When they come back to Atlanta I guarantee that that is not the case. After 4 weeks the news is out Colston is by far the bigger threat.

lmfao...

 

But Tarheel, in all seriousness, I picked up Colston off the WW following week 1 in which I viewed the Saints game and saw Brees' eye for finding him. He has been helping offset the invisible production from my RBs since then as my WR3. Joe Horn has proven himself in this league so I'm not so sure people should get caught up in in the semantics of whether he's the official #1, ya know what I mean? Colston has consistently produced, be it a product of Horn's presence or not, and that's undeniable. Honestly, I've been waiting for the bubble to burst, and I'm sure opponents will no doubt be making adjustments... but for now, he looks like Brees' target, and I'm gonna stick with it unless a matchup leads me to play my bench.

Most teams don't have a drop off from no 1 to no 2 like the panthers did last year. Most teams with an effective passing attack have a clear no 1 with a guy who's a great no 2 but probalby wouldnt be a great no 1. The no 1 gets more attention and that helps no 2 put up better points. Indy, Dal, Cincy, supringly the bears with muhammad and berrian, pitt in the past with hines and plaxico, or hines and randel-el, giants, etc. All these teams ahve an effective no 2. But i bet if you give a team with no WR and they can choose between the 2 for just one season, most would take horn.

Once again GFIAFP is trying to spin comments around to try and not make himself look stupid. Once again GFIAFP fails miserably. I think we all know you're the dumbfock, just ask the masses...

[Franknbeans 46]

Target wise he's been #1 since about week 2

[JediMaster 20]

...86 of those yards came off a play at the end with the CAR D sleeping...

 

Is it me or are these comments annoying? "Take away that long catch or take away that long run and he would only have gotten X amount of yards" blah blah blah

 

Horn is still the #1 guy but Brees targets Colston alot. I have him in both my leagues and I think it's time to give him a start

[mtammen 0]

Horn is the number 1 and draws double teams. Bush also draws alot of attention away from D's. Basically Colston is number 3 of the list of guys to stop for D's and that is why he is having such good numbers. I really can't see that changing tho, unless teams stop doubling Horn and double Colston which is very doubtful.

[Jay 0]

I agree that Colston is getting the benefit of a few of the other players in that offense. Horn matches up with the top corner and sometimes gets the double-team. Reggie Bush ends up drawing the top cover safety. That leaves Colston matched up with the second corner 1-1. He's been consistently beating that type of coverage. He's the top FANTASY wide receiver on the Saints, but Horn is still a better receiver. If the situation was reversed, Horn would be carving up defenses without mercy.

 

Another note, though. Brees is a short quarterback. I don't think it was an accident that Gates was his favorite target in San Diego and Colston now in New Orleans. I think he is able to find them much easier and doesn't need as clean of a passing lane. You don't see too many quarterbacks at 6'0 succeed like Brees in the NFL.

[wild_and_crazy_guy 5]

Yes - Colston is now the #1 guy. He has more receptions, more yards, more TD's, and is thrown to more than Horn.

[bryberns 0]

He may not be the the #1 WR, but he is the #1 TE on NO

He is not the #1 WR but he will be the #1 producing receiver for Drew Brees.

Gates = Colston

Fantasy wise this is right, but football wise it is not even close. You probably ment fantasy wise.

 

If Horn or Bush go down I would expect his numbers to dip quite a bit, but if they are healthy it does look like he is there to stay.

What he was trying to say was with Brees at the helm of the Saints, he is falling into the same routine he had with the Chargers. Gates was his favorite target, as is Colston.

[maddog3819 0]

On paper Horn is # 1. In reality Colston is Brees' # 1 target. He is catching at least 5 balls a week and he is the 1st person Brees looks to in the end zone. (If Brees had of thrown a better ball Colston was open in the end zone in the 1st half and the ball was thrown a couple feet behind him.) He is targeted more than any other receiver. No matter what the paper says...stats don't. Colston is a solid #2 WR in fantasy football.

[itsbigmoni 1]

He may not be the the #1 WR, but he is the #1 TE on NO

I'd still say Horn is the #1 WR, but Colston is definately getting the redzone looks.

[EyeOfDaTiga 0]

N.O. homer here, watched every game, attended the game in the dome and it is safe to say Colston is the man when it comes to looks and targets. Even in 1 WR sets, Colston is in there 8 out of 10 times. Even in pre-game you can tell Colston is in a different level than any other WR the Saints have. I have no clue how in the hell this guy went that late in the draft regardless of whether or not he went to Hofstra, he has Terrell Owens type ability. Just glad he's playing for us and glad I picked him up 2 weeks ago.
