November 21, 2008 Marques Colston (knee) is listed as probable on the Saints' injury report, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune. Our View:Colston should be good to go by Monday night. He has yet to catch a touchdown in five games this season. |
|
November 20, 2008 Marques Colston was limited in Thursday's practice while dealing with his knee ailment, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune. Our View:If he is deemed fit to play on Monday night, he will have a tough match-up against a strong Packers' pass defense. |
|
November 19, 2008 Marques Colston was limited in practice on Wednesday, according to the Packers' official web site. Our View:Colston might not be the best bet against a strong Packers defense this week, especially with being limited by his knee. |
|
November 16, 2008 Wide receiver Marques Colston (knee) is active for the Week 11 game against the Chiefs. Our View:Fantasy owners should feel free to use Colston against a shaky Chiefs defense. |
|
November 13, 2008 Saints receiver Marques Colston was once again limited in practice on Thursday due to swelling in his knee, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune. Our View:Colston is fully expected to play against the Chiefs on Sunday, but we recommend just making sure before inserting him in your lineup. |
|
November 13, 2008 Saints wideout Marques Colston was limited in practice on Wednesday due to swelling in his knee, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune. Our View:This doesn't sound like it's anything serious, and all indications are that Colston will be good to go on Sunday. |
|
November 9, 2008 Marques Colston caught seven passes for 140 yards in the Week 10 loss to Atlanta. Our View:Colston didn't score, but this was by far his most impressive performance of the 2008 season. The Hofstra product is an every week starter going forward. |
|
November 8, 2008 Saints wideout Marques Colston will see his role expanded during the team's Week 10 game against Atlanta, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune. Our View:Colston has not been productive since coming back from injury. He has just five catches for 82 yards on the season, and is just getting back to complete health. |
|
November 7, 2008 There is speculation that Marques Colston may not start with belief that coach Sean Payton is content with Devery Henderson and Lance Moore as the starting tandem, according to New Orleans Times-Picayune. Our View:Fantasy owners should not panic, as Colston would still serve as the No. 3 receiver in a pass-happy Saints' offense. It is also only a matter of time before the stone-handed Henderson falls out of favor with Payton again due to dropped passes. He should be penciled into fantasy lineups against a manageable Falcons' pass defense (ranked 15th). |
|
October 20, 2008 Marques Colston was pulled out of Sunday's game against Carolina due to ineffective play, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune. Our View:He didn't aggravate his surgically repaired thumb, but he admitted that he was out of rhythm after missing the past five games. He did not catch a pass, and he was removed from the lineup in the fourth quarter. The other Saints' receivers didn't fare much better in a 30-7 loss, and perhaps Colston will perform better in Week 8 against San Diego, which is a more favorable match-up than Carolina. |
|
October 19, 2008 Saints wideout Marques Colston will play for the team today, according to ProFootballWeekly.com. Our View:It remains to be seen how many snaps Colston will get, but he is in the lineup, which is good news for fantasy owners. |
|
October 17, 2008 The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports that Marques Colston practiced on a limited basis on Friday but was upgraded from questionable to probable. Our View:It looks like the owners who held onto Colston since his Week 1 injury will finally be rewarded this weekend. Expect Colston to put up very good numbers in the season's second half. |
|
October 16, 2008 Receiver Marques Colston (thumb) appears on track to return to the lineup Sunday.

|
October 15, 2008 Marques Colston, who is recovering from a thumb injury, practiced on a limited basis Wednesday, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune. Our View:The source states that Colston will "almost certainly" be back in the Saints' lineup after he had a good week of practice last week. Fantasy owners should be thrilled to get the rising star back this week, but expectations should be tempered against the Panthers' highly ranked pass defense. |
|

Our View:He practiced last week, but was deemed inactive against Oakland. Fantasy owners should be thrilled to get the rising star back this week, but expectations should be tempered against the Panthers' third ranked pass defense. |
|

Devery Henderson and Lance Moore will start this week against the Raiders. |
|
October 10, 2008 Saints wideout Marques Colston will be on the field and active for the team's Week 6 contest against the Oakland Raiders, according to ProFootballTalk.com. Our View:Colston had been out with torn ligaments in his thumb. Clearly, this is a boon for fantasy owners. Despite the hype about the Raiders' pass defense, they allow 233 receiving yards per game, which is 21st in the league. |
|
October 9, 2008 Marques Colston, who is recovering from a thumb injury, had limited participation in practice for the second straight day Thursday, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune. Our View:There is a chance he could return this weekend to challenge the Raiders' 18th ranked pass defense. |
|
October 8, 2008 Marques Colston returned to practice on Wednesday according to the Times-Picayune. He was catching balls with only a small amount of padding on his surgically-repaired thumb. If he feels comfortable catching the ball, he should definitely be able to go for Week 6. Our View:Expect Colston to return with a fury once he gets back on the field. Quarterback Drew Brees has made due without him for four weeks, but is certainly looking forward to working with his primary target once again. |
|
October 6, 2008 The following players are inactive for the Saints in their Monday Night Matchup with the Vikings, according to Saints Official Website.

|
October 5, 2008 The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports Colston (thumb) will have his cast removed next week and could return in Week 8.

|
September 21, 2008 Saints inactives: QB Joey Harrington (3rd), WR Marques Colston, WR Terrance Cooper, RB Aaron Stecker, DB Aaron Glenn, LB Scott Fujita, TE Mark Campbell, DT Antwan Lake. Our View:Colston is expected to miss another month of action due to the thumb surgery. Meanwhile, linebacker Scott Fujita is inactive for the second consecutive week due to a knee injury. Fujita is a rock on the strong side, and his absence will make it easier for the Broncos to run the ball this afternoon. |
|
September 14, 2008 Marques Colston, CB Randall Gay, RB Aaron Stecker, CB Mike McKenzie, SS Roman Harper, LB Mark Simoneau, LB Scott Fujita, T Jermon Bushrod and DT Antwan Lake are the Saints' Week 2 inactives. Our View:The secondary is dealing with a rash of injuries. We might suggest starting Jason Campbell, but he looked too awful last week. |
|
September 10, 2008 The New Orleans Saints have lost their top receiving weapon, Marques Colston, to a torn ligament in his left thumb, according to FOXSports.com.

|

Our View:Colston has agreed to terms on a three-year extension with the Saints, GM Mickey Loomis announced Wednesday in his pre-training camp address. Colston, a seventh-round pick in 2006, has far outplayed his rookie contract. In two seasons, he's caught 168 passes for 2,240 yardsand 19 touchdowns.

|
July 6, 2008 The Saints have had preliminary talks with Marques Colston's agent regarding an extension, but no new progress toward reaching a deal has been made, according to the New Orleans Times Picayune.

|
June 9, 2008 Marques Colston was a no-show at the Saints' OTA session on Monday, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune. Colston has been looking for a new contract, but is not bickering with the team, as he has been a regular participant in the Saints' off-season conditioning program, which started in mid-March, and was at the mandatory mini-camp, and at the rest of the OTA practices. Coach Sean Payton noted that Colston has done well so far in practice, and will call him up to see what the deal was regarding his absence. Our View:Colston should not be a distraction, and the missed OTA on Monday was voluntary. |

I've just got to be patient with it," said Colston, who has kept up his conditioning on the stationary bike, among other methods. "I had a lot of irritation going on in there throughout the season. Now's the time to clean it up and get healthy." Colston caught 98 passes for 1,202 yards and 11 touchdowns, despite playing hurt for much of last season. |
|

He's set to make $445,000 in base salary for the upcoming campaign and his current agreement expires after the 2008 season. |
|
