Marques Colston gives owners steady fantasy outing in Week 8
Marques Colston had five receptions for 63 yards during the Saints’ loss to the Broncos on Sunday Night Football. We break down the fantasy implications.
Derick E. Hingle-US PRESSWIRE
Sunday’s game was Colston’s first without a touchdown since Week 3. He has now had at least 10 targets in four consecutive games. Colston has four touchdown receptions over that span.
Fantasy Impact: Colston’s production was on the low end of what we have come to expect from him on roughly the same number of targets, so don’t fret that he had a relatively quiet night. He is still a solid weekly starting fantasy wide receiver as the favorite target within a prolific passing attack.
Colston could struggle to get open against Nnamdi Asomugha, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and the Philadelphia Eagles next week, though he has performed well against good secondaries in the past. Don't get too spooked and trust that Colston will produce again.
