Moore the new Colston? (1 Viewer)

It's even worse, having both and Moore on the bench tonight. :lol:

Thankfully I'm way up, so it doesn't matter this week. Not sure what to do w/ Colston come playoff time if he keeps this up.

Moore is the new Welker w/ more TDs. My best WW grab this year.

 
guess its time to stop holding out for colston to repeat last years late-season heroics.

-biz-

 
Not trying to hijack but is Colston possibly in the doghouse? I mean I'm watching and don't eve see him on the field that often.

 
How is his knee? Whatever it is, he isnt getting ANY looks.

ANd here I thought I was so clever trading for him early in the season and stashing him. Expecting a WR1 once he came back. ####!

This is what I did, too. Oh well. I think I'll ride it out but no confidence in the guy anymore. I mean, his QB is going to push 5,000 passing yards, and he gets jack. Very frustrating.
 
WAIT! I just saw a dude wearing #12....is that the new rookie kicker?

I am pretty SURE Brees didn't see him.

I have to assume it's the knee. At his age, you don't just lose your talent.

Talk to Michael Clayton.Seriously though...Colston is a beast...this is just a year he and all his owners will soon forget. He is killing me in quite a few leagues. Just killing me.
 
It still makes me wonder if Colston isn't quite healthy. He broke loose there, but was gimping earlier. Why hasn't he been targeted more?

 
It's great that he finally scored, but us PPRers would like to see him targeted more than just once a quarter.

Moore is Colston, and Colston is Devery Henderson. Ugh.

 
Long catch not withstanding, it definitely feels like there's some combination of health issues and/or lack of confidence from Brees. I kind of have to go with him barring someone making a ridiculous drop, but I don't feel confident.

 
I am in a tight playoffs race with Colston, and compitition has Brees going against me this week. Normally I would feel great about this, but debating on trying to add Moore to counter Brees. I definitely didn't see that coming.

 
As of 1 or 2 weeks ago, I know at least a couple guys still preferred Meachem to Moore in a PPR dyno.

Moore is Brees' version of Welker.

That is good comparson. I have a gut feeling that the 70yd TD may have restored some confidence in Colston for Brees and Payton. There were a number of times where Colston was wide open and he didn't even seem to be in the checkdown, and I think they are going to see that when they break down the game tape. On one of the TDs to Moore, where he took a short dump to the endzone, Colston was wide open in the endzone with no defender near him to make a play and the coach is definitely going to see that. I think Colston will get back to his usual level of production.
 
Colston is still hurt.He has been limited in practice for the past 2 weeks and I read reports that his

knee/thumb is still bothering him.Write this year off,I won't play him until he has a full practice week.

Colston owners got lucky last night,this week they play TB.....might not be so lucky this week.

Colston News from KFFL

(KFFL) Larry Holder, of the Biloxi Sun-Herald, reports the New Orleans Saints WR Marques Colston was not the target of many passes during Week 12 by design, as head coach Sean Payton said the Green Bay Packers left the middle of the field open so QB Drew Brees looked at other options. Colston, as noted, came up with just one catch - a 70-yard touchdown reception - during the team's win.

 
I'm gonna roll the dice with Colston this week over Bowe (v Oak) or Edwards (v Indy)

I think he is due. It seems just as you give up on players, they come up with big games.

Thats crazy. Bowe has been pretty consistant each week while Colston is an afterthought with the Saints. Good luck with that tho.

Wow, if anyone believes one word that S Payton says regarding game planning or injuries they are more naive than Linus waiting for the Great Pumpkin in a pumpkin patch on Halloween nightWatching Colston's game this season & this week especially - its obvious he is still hurt & gimpy

L Moore>>>>>>>>>>>colston.....b/c stats don't lie

What does everything think of Moore's keeper value going forward? One year wonder or window to things to come?

The attention he's been getting in the Saints' offense has been increasing for some time, and Moore has earned it twice over. He's proven that he's a legit NFL WR and should keep his job.
 
No.

Moore is very good as the #2, but can't produce if double covered. I like Colston in the playoffs.

 
Well I just took a huge gamble. Just traded away M. Colston and P. Burress in dynasty league for B. Marshall.

I have a chance to win it this year and the goose eggs that Colston and Burress present each week were not helping. I may miss Colston and regret this down the road - but good riddance to Plaxico.

I think it's premature to anoint Moore the new Colston for 2009 and beyond, but I do think it's indisputable at this point that Marques Colston has been supplanted by Moore for the remainder of the season. I just cannot trust this guy at all. He's a huge disappointment, and Drew Brees is punishing us Colston owners for his suckiness. Since Colston returned in week 7, Moore has 28 receptions, 393 yards, and five TDs over that span. Colston has 13 receptions, 296 yards, and one TD. Notably, he hasn't played one game as the beneficiary of more targets than Lance Moore. Moore's been targeted 45 times to Colston's 26 because he gets open and catches the football. His reception percentage is 62.2%, whereas Colston is only good for 50%.I hope he proves me wrong in the next month, but the evidence suggests Marques Colston is at best a weak WR3 start for this week at Tampa and an average WR3 start weeks 14-16.

Have to choose between him and Welker v. Pit in Week 13, with the playoffs on the line. I need a big game too for total points tie breaker. I'm sure Colston goes off if I bench him. I just can't imagine that NE keeps this up against that PITT defense. I think I'm rolling with Colston.

 
Colston hasn't exactly been stellar against the Bucs. If you play in a ppr league, I'd definitely go with Welker.
