2. New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marques Colston finished the season with a bang, averaging just over 100 yards per game during his last three games last year while catching four touchdowns. Is Colston finally healthy and ready to ascend to a tier one wide receiver?
Bruno Boys Cavigs: I wish I could sit here and tell you that Marques Colston is finally healthy and ready to play 16 games in 2009, but I can't because I'm no fortune teller.
What I can tell you is that when healthy, Colston is a top 10 fantasy football wide receiver and has the talent and supporting cast to produce as a No. 1 WR.
After a sluggish start after returning from injury last season, he turned it on down the stretch and showed the NFL that his 2007 season was no fluke. It's evident that QB Drew Brees likes throwing to his physical wideout and if Colston can avoid injury, you can expect anywhere between 1,200 to 1,300 receiving yards and 10+ TDs. Now that's what we call top tier!
Bruno Boys Ziza: Let's put it this way; I don't really believe in the strategy of double-dipping, but Drew Brees and Marques Colston may remind some of the great combinations of years past such as Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison or Tony Romo and Terrell Owens.
Colston ended last season with a bang and I really feel like that will continue into 2009. If Colston can be anywhere close to his 2007 season and the end of 2008, we will definitely have a special receiver on our hands in the fantasy football world and would easily deem him a tier one wide receiver. He is someone that I would be more than proud to have on my squad.
