Colston to miss a month (1 Viewer)

Just IR'd Colston and grabbed Henderson (Patten was already rostered). Didn't Colston miss time last year? What did Henderson's stats look like then?
And is Meachem totally worthless or what?

Honestly as a Colston owner theres been worse injuries. At least when he comes back he should be fine to play again. Unfortunately Saints have a bye in week 9.

Good luck to both players getting well.

Not the greatest source, but team ownership on CBS has ...
Meachem, Robert WR NO 32
Patten, David WR NO 14
Henderson, Devery WR NO 9
but in "views today" you can flip those

This is correct.As far as use in the offense...Meachum = HendersonColston = PattenShockey gets the biggest bump.

From the FBG Depth Chart:
WR: Marques Colston, David Patten, Devery Henderson, Lance Moore (PR), Robert Meacham, Terrance Copper, Adrian Arrington (IR)
Very little mention of Lance More here so far... IMO he is the shark move assuming in most leagues Patten won't be available.
Meachem will be the sexy pick, but just keep in mind he was a HEALTHY scratch in week 1 and Moore got 4 targets with Colston on the field. Patten and Henderson had 2 each. Seems pretty clear to me.

According to Pro Football Reference, Colston didn't play in week 10 vs the Bengals in 2006, and Henderson had 9 grabs for 169 yards.In 2007, it looks like Colston was in every game. I'm going to go ahead and assume that one Henderson start 2 seasons ago will be repeated weekly.

Unfortunately, none of the remaining WRs are obviously in Colston's class.
As noted above, Brees does a good job spreading the ball around, and while any one of them could benefit in any given week, good luck guessing who it is.
Shockey and Bush seem to be the only ones that stand to consistently gain.

good call, as he will likely be available in all leagues.

Do you drop a Ray Rice or Garrard to pick up Patten?

ESPN just reported 4-6 weeks.
ETA: I picked up Patten(dropped Mark Clayton) 30 seconds after someone in my league got Henderson. I was going for Patten anyway, PPR league. Just a heads up that the Shark move differs, I guess.

They did a good job of keeping the surgery under wraps if ESPN just found out (probably from here)

Another big name injury. Colston was a guy the Saints were obviously counting
heavily on. New Orleans will turn to David Patten and Devery Henderson to pick
up the slack. And if Robert Meacham is going to be anything like the player they
drafted him to be, now is the time for him to show it. Meacham was inactive (again)
for last week's game but coach Sean Payton had seemed encouraged by Meacham's
progress. New TE Jeremy Shockey will also likely be leaned on a little more.
Bottom line is this is a blow for Drew Brees. If you're a Colston owner, be moving
to plan B and grab a replacement. And look for guys like Patten, Henderson, Meacham
and Shockey to move up a little as they try to fill the void.

Interesting NO mention of Moore here either. What am I missing on this guy?

Meachem is only a beneficiary insofar as he should be active with Colston out. What he'll actually do is anyone's guess. I find it very, very improbable that he will slide directly into the starting lineup.
I've pimped Patten before, and I'll do it again here...he's clearly the beneficiary of this situation, along with Jeremy Shockey and Lance Moore to a lesser degree. Patten has great hands, isn't afraid to go over the middle, and probably has more big play ability than Colston does (note his long touchdown last week). Henderson will probably see a slightly bigger role, but he has shown repeatedly that he cannot be counted on to make the tough catches over the middle that Colston is known for. He won't suddenly become a tough possession receiver now, and I would advise against picking him up as anything more than a WR4/5 that you can accept a goose egg from when he doesn't score a long touchdown.
I'd look for Shockey to actually line up in the slot quite a bit, because he's probably most capable of replicating some of the things Marques Colston is called upon to do.

hes always had my vote as biggest FBG loser. you'll always see him come into a thread and make some standard FBG joke, his attempts at being funny are pathetic.Damn your quick and my god do you post a lot.
Just hope none of your players are on my team.

the shark move is to pick up/trade for Pierre Thomas

the other side of this story, imo, is what this could do to pierre thomas' production.
the best receiver on the team now is reggie bush, so i'd think the saints will be looking to throw it to him even more than they already do, which would lead to a higher percentage of the team's running plays going to thomas (or mcallister if/when he's ready to contribute).
also, i doubt it will be a significant change, but it seems like they'd have to run the ball a little more, so that helps thomas too.
obviously, the value of bush, shockey, patten, henderson, moore, and meachem (the latter 3 being unpredictable and inconsistent) all go up, but i see pierre thomas' value going up too.

Those are some encouraging stats. Hopefully I won't ever have to play Henderson as I have some decent WR depth, but just nice to know he produced those numbers in the past sans Colston.

10 team league Patten,Henderson and Meachem are still available

Wow, first Burleson, now Colston. My WR core is hurtin'.
I have Branch stashed away and actually both Patten and Henderson are available in my league. I'd go for Patten since we get PPR, and while Henderson is the big-play threat, he's just too damn inconsistent for my taste.
OK, I just saw the stats posted for Henderson during Colston's last time out with injury. Who was starting opposite Henderson then? Thanks for the info, and for confusing me even more

PPR - I'd put Shockey and Patten bout even here, with Henderson as a fill in for deep leagues, and Meacham no more than a flier in VERY deep leagues.Non-PPR - Shockey, then Patten, and I wouldn't bother with the other 2. In Non-PPR leagues, I think I'd see Pierre Thomas as the best beneficiary here, but that won't help your WR/TE corp.

You may also see a lot more of Billy Miller who can split out wide and has always been productive when he's played.
ETA: Colston did play in that fourth game. It was Joe Horn who Henderson filled in for that week.

Completely agree, though I really had to pick him up anyhow. He screwed me repeatedly when he was supposed to be the #2 guy in NO. I'm gonna try to move him in a package with Felix Jones to the Barber owner.

I think it is worth noting that when Henderson had those nice games filling in when Colston was out, that was in 2006...Patten was not on the team that year so I don't know that it is safe to assume that Henderson will again be the guy to "replace" Colston in his absence.

I disagree. Thomas has been effective running the ball and Duece will be hurt at some point this year.

He doesn't have an ACL in his elbow or shoulder that I know about. If you have the depth at RB and need a WR, I'm selling him first.

I am trying to do just that. Offered Evans + Freeney for Colston.

After looking at last week's game and knowing how important a WR's thumbs are I'm not giving up that much for when he returns.Brees sprea the ball around well. Shockey to me looked like he was getting a lot of targets Colston would have picked up the previous two years.

Theres no reason to believe his thumb wont be fully healed after 4-6 weeks. This isnt a knee injury or hamstring injury we're talking about. I have full faith he will be good as new in 4-6 weeks. This may be a blessing in disguise if Colston owners like myself could tread water cuz he cant get hurt worse in that time. Leg injuries are ten times more worrisome.
