Thoughts on Colston the rest of the way?

Recommended Posts

He was slow out of the gates last year, not to this degree and was nicked up, but finished strong. He's actually been pretty decent on a per target basis as far as production. He just hasn't gotten the targets.

 

Maybe it changes this week. I don't think he will produce at least years pace though...

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I think Colston will be fine. I think he ends up with the same numbers he puts up every season.

He's a boom/bust guy. If you drafted him, you gotta start him every week. The problem is, Brees has proven many times that he can find the open target, while picking apart a secondary. So, Colston often does not get a lot of targets, since he draws the most coverage. He'll have big games and then vanish. Overvalued in drafts this year.

See Dwayne Bowe, Miles Austin, Hakeem Nicks,.....it's the changing of the fantasy WR guard.

As a Saints fan it saddens me to say it but I think he's done. He was never really fast to begin with and I think he's definitely lost a step. He's an all-time great saint so I hope I'm wrong but I don't think so.

Colston is dead to me. The few times I've seen him play, he just doesn't seem to be interested in going all out or he truly has lost a step. In any event, it will be Decker, Douglas, and Fitz the rest of the way with DeAndre Hopkins ready for bye weeks.

 

However, I just realized that Fitz and Decker are on bye this week, so it looks like I'll have to roll the dice one more week with Colston. :doh: :thumbsdown:

No, no he's not either of those.

Something's off.

 

He's not getting separation and he's not skying for balls.

 

This has been just too long of a draught, unfortunately I think we're going to see the Saints start moving in a different direction this year, whether it be Stills, Moore, Toon, Watson, or Hill, something has to give, especially with Jimmy being so limited.

I dunno, he seems to have the 'bust' down pretty well.

 

Ha, yeah, good point - no, I meant that he has traditionally been Mr. Consistency with a decent floor, a reliable target for Brees in good times and bad and rarely ever having say 2-3 bad weeks in a row.

 

And also he is of course no longer an every week starter as Giants Fan has it.
