While Marques Colston recovers from surgery on his left thumb over the next six weeks, don’t expect Drew Brees to stop slinging the ball around the field. While Devery Henderson is the obvious beneficiary, from a fantasy perspective, he is already owned in most leagues and is notoriously inconsistent—keep in mind that he only had one catch last week and, amazingly, he only had more than one catch in four games all of last year.  That's not the track record you look for in a starting position player.

    Brees will have a tough time putting up big stats w/o Colston

      Yeah, I agree- I dont think Shockey is a good fit for these guys. The other guy who will clearly benefit is Bush - a RB who can't run, but is relatively interesting as a WR.

    You should change the title of this article. It should be "Marques Colston out six weeks: who you shouldn't pick up".
