Marques Colston, Kenny Stills, Nick Toon's Post-Week 15 Fantasy Reaction

Matt FitzgeraldDec 15, 2014

The New Orleans Saints' passing attack was firing on all cylinders in Week 15's 31-15 Monday night victory against the Chicago Bears.

Marques Colston hauled in a nine-yard touchdown in the second quarter, while younger wide receivers Kenny Stills and Nick Toon added their own contributions to New Orleans' aerial assault at Soldier Field.

Saints quarterback Drew Brees already had to be excited to face the NFL's 31st-ranked pass defense. Brees helped open everything up by establishing running back Pierre Thomas as a threat on screen passes, while the Bears tried to key in on superstar tight end Jimmy Graham as well.

The attention Graham drew helped Colston get to the end zone, as Bleacher Report Lead NFC South Writer Brent Sobleski observed:

ESPN's Mike Triplett noted how New Orleans has a tendency to shuffle personnel in order to create favorable matchups, which could cause fantasy values for all involved to be inconsistent:

Colston and Stills are the proven commodities among the Saints' top-tier trio of wideouts.

The ceiling is a WR1 for both with how often the Saints throw, but Colston and Stills are more realistically WR2s or strong flex plays in most fantasy formats. They had three touchdowns apiece prior to Monday's contest, so that limits their respective upsides.

Toon entered Week 15 with just nine catches on the season and will have to compete with Thomas for targets moving forward. Since he also lost a fumble in the first half, it's unlikely Toon will warrant any fantasy consideration even in keeper leagues.
