You just answered your own question. Completely understand not wanting to start Breaston in your playoffs, but he's a reasonable gamble.

he's been averaging roughly 10 pts (0.5 ppr) a game since he came back from injury with those crap qbs. sounds like a fair assessment going against a weak Den D.
I have him and am benching him but I could see the upside. I believe the thinking is that Champ will take Fitz out of the game so the next option is Breaston. (normal 2nd Db is out hurt and back up just got arrested today) Plus Denver should get a nice lead fast so that means they will be chucking the ball allot. So glad i chose Garcon to go instead, would hate to be double guessing myself.

Dude, my second RB was Harvin. Stupid migraines! Now I am stuck picking between Breaston and Lee Evans for my second WR slot in a playoff game.
I'm still pondering but I am leaning towards going with Breaston. Fitz draws all the attention and Breaston has upside for lots of yards after the catch since he roams the middle of the field. Plus, Evans has been even worse than Breaston consistency wise and their is talk of serious wind in Buffalo this week.

Steve Breaston has signed with the Saints.
Aged 29, entering his 7th season, he had a 1000 yard season in 2008, three 700+ yard seasons followed that, then hardly used last year in KC.

He wasn't used because he was worse than the other terrible receivers on the team.
Not sure even Brees can make him relevant.

So I see a couple comments here about how Breaston was not even a top 4 WR at KC, and how he wasn't the same guy as he was in AZ.
- He still had 700+ yards his first year in KC just like his last year in AZ.
- In KC they went with high picks Baldwin and McLuster and they tried and tried to make that work.
- In KC he was with Cassel and probably some of the most backward offensive football we have seen the last 10-15 years. It was ok at times under Haley, including Breaston. Nothing but Charles was ever going to be good under Crennel offensively except Charles and even he was often doing plain nothing.
I thought something was up when Morgan got dinged and the Saints brought in Laurent Robinson, Schillens and Breaston for workouts. Well now we know it was definitely something that was going on.
I think they wanted a guy who could come in, run good routes, with experience and could acclimate quickly, who could catch reliably and do other things (ie special teams). Morgan was deficient on his route running and his hands in almost anything under 20 yards, and he was working on that, but the Saints had big plans for him.
Other WR competitors include Toon of course and Andy Tanner, Preston Parker, Kenny Stills, and Salim Hakim (Az Hakim's brother, super fast). I just don't know that any of these guys (besides Parker) have the kind of experience to just step right in and become a No. 3 WR of the sort the Saints need (the key there being trust on the part of Brees). In fact I think there is room for two (2) new WRs besides Colston & Moore to emerge and have some FF at points during the season.
The Saints are returning to a stretch the field concept and personally I don't think a WR goes from being supposedly the 5th best/worst receiver on the 2012 Chiefs to being qualified to step in for a top-3 offense. If I have to choose between the Chiefs' 2012 offensive brain trust and the Saints' I will take the Saints.
I don't know if it will be Breaston, because who knows how his wheels really are, but 1-2 of these guys will do perhaps a little something to something good this year on a game to game basis.
