Bailey did a fine job shutting down Colston, who was held to five catches for 63 yards in the Saints’ huge blowout loss.
Fantasy Impact: Colston had a 14-yard catch late in garbage time with Bailey out to salvage his stat line, but it was a great performance by the ageless Bailey, who keeps building a Hall of Fame resume.
Colston disappointed fantasy owners this week, but he'll get another chance against the Eagles in Week 9. Keep starting him as a WR1.
