"Blow Up" Week for Colston? (1 Viewer)

[tombonneau]

With Devery potentially not around to pilfer any TDs, anyone else looking for a coming out party for Colston? I know CAR D is not giving up a lot of FF pts to WRs, but I think that is more a function of their competition (Atl & TB !) than any sort of superior secondary.

If NO falls behind in this game and has to play catchup, I could see a huge game from Colston. I've been starting him all year anyway and he's been a rocksolid WR2, but I'm thinking this is the week he goes for 100+/1-2Td.

If you've got him on your bench and have been waiting for the right time to play him, I think this game is it.

 

[Da Guru]

I am thinking close to 200 yards receiving, 30-40 rushing and 2-3 TDs. He may throw a TD as well!

I haven't had a problem finding the right time to play him. If he is on your bench you must have hella good WRs. (or TEs )

Consider it marked down.

I think this is blow up week for Bush he is due. I think Colston will get lots of attention from the D backs. I can see Bush playing a lot of WR this week.

He may be on my bench this week while I start Fitz vs ATL, Chambers vs HOU and Jennings vs PHI on MNF (Also have Branch and Cotchery). Colston could move into my lineup though if Henderson is indeed out....disclaimer: I know, I know, Chambers should be riding pine but Im giving him this week vs Houston as a last chance.

 

[Rotten Egg]

I am doing the same thing with Chambers....If he can;t have a big game against the Houston Texans, it is time to cut losses.

 

[Mission Impossible]

I think losing Henderson will help Horn more than Colston, since it appears Colston is #1 option anyway

 

[ericttspikes]

I missed the boat on Colston. This guy looks smooth. Seems like he's already blown up, doing more damage than most of the top tier WRs.

 

[Alberta Clipper]

I traded Colston for Shockey this week. I was offering Ward but the other owner wanted Colston more than Ward. Is Colston really worth that much already?

PS - I had Boldin/Driver/Djax/Ward as my #1-4 so Colston wasn't about to start anytime soon. Start 3WR.

Gamble and Lucas are amongst the best corner combo in the league. I think the Colston freight train is picking up a little too much hype. He has had a nice couple weeks, but unless he breaks rookie touchdown records his pace is going to slow down.

My guess is that he will have an off week. 4 catches for 40 yards and no TD's.

I looked up the numbers and was surprised how non-dominant the Panther defense has been. These numbers are from: http://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/car2006.htm

My guess is that he will have an off week. 4 catches for 40 yards and no TD's.

This is what I am thinking.Why do people think Colston is going to start putting up even better numbers?His number have been improving over the 1st 3 weeks and he does seem to be Brees's target of choice (26 total targets).week 1 Cleveland 8 targets 4 catches 49 yards 1 TDweek 2 Green Bay 8 targets 4 catches 58 yards 1TDweek 3 Atlanta 10 targets 7 catches 97 yards 0 TDHenderson has had 12 targets over the 1st 3 games so it is possible Colston could see more than the 10 targets he got last week.However this Bell curve for Colston has to drop at some point and a Carolina defense that has a good secondary and pass rush might be the time to expect a drop rather than an increase imo.I am curious about reasons why people think otherwise though.

Does that help?

very much so. How did you do that? thank you

The [code] tags will put it in a font where every character is the same size and spaces are preserved (otherwise web pages eliminate all repeating spaces). That way if you space things out correctly, they will line up. The spacing was close to begin with, I just used the preview function a few times to add or delete a few spaces here and there until it lined up.

 

[BassNBrew]

Actually losing Henderson will hurt Colston this week. I'd expect to see Lucas covering him. This really isn't a good matchup for Colston. The blow-up player on the Saints this week will be Reggie Bush by a mile. The Panthers don't have an answer for him. I'd also consider the Saints starting TE in very deep leagues.

 

[seabags]

Joe Horn?

I hope so..I have him

 

[JayK]

Well, I have had Colston on my bench, but only because I have Holt and Jackson ahead of him.

I agree.This is the week I'll actually put Gonzo in as TE instead of Colston.

 

[Mister CIA]

I think Colston has another very good week.

Ten targets is his floor, I hope.

He's a rookie, but I'll wager he is getting coached morning to night, which bodes well for his stats.

I'll play it conservative - 6-80-1.

80 yards for Colston does not make Joe Horn a forgotten man.

 

[Dave Baker]

Joe Horn?

Yeah, I actually think Horn could finally have a big week if Hendy is down. He hasn't looked bad and he's bound to do some damage.

Colston will fade like most rookie WRs do.

This is Joe Horn's week.

But if you take away his long catch.... (just in case it isn't obvious)

Garbage TDs count in my league. 4 seconds into the game or 4 seconds left in the game, doesnt matter.Hes scored 3 out of 4 weeks. Brees looks to him often. The Saints offense is working. I think Ill keep him in my lineup.

It's already been said, but to address this directly, Colston appears heavily involved regardless of garbage or tight game - the Saints' offense is balanced - and Brees is running passing plays extremely well. As an example, from today's game, Colston had 4 targets heading into the fourth q., the Saints scored to go ahead by 3 (10-7).Most of Colston's looks were before the "garbage time" catch of 86 yards.And he's been HEAVILY targeted by Brees, esp. in the red zone - I think it is unfair to say he won;t be active in the passing game while the offense is working - he's a crucial part of the offense working.Even IF he is a "garbage time" player, the assumption above falls apart because it is based on the assumption that the Saints won;t be in many situations where they have to pass to come back. Or to keep up (edit to add that last comment)I was most surprised with the targets Conwell received throughout the game.

Anytime. Was a little worried going into the 4th for him, but that 80+ yarder was a thing of beauty. He's got some wheels for a big guy. My guess is that MqC is going to be the WW pickup that ends up on a lot of championship rosters.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

I hope you're right. I picked him up as a dollar FA prior to week one and he's been a godsend given that I drafted Randy friggin' Moss.As long as the targets for him keep up he should be, at minimum, a very nice WR2 or a fantastic WR3.

Horn did have his most receptions of the season.But I still think Colston will fade.
