Nick Toon takes strong camp to preseason game, gets on the fantasy radar
Nick Toon is coming on this month and looked good against the Chiefs. We break down the fantasy implications.
Team beat writers have been raving about Toon this month and he continues to make strides in his second training camp with the team. He didn’t get on the field in 2012, but all signs point to him making the team this year.
Fantasy impact: The Saints are going to air it out and they'll be using plenty of four- and five-wide sets on offense. What's more, their defense figures to be weak yet again, so they will have every incentive to pass the ball in true Drew Brees-Sean Payton fashion. As for Toon, he has added opportunity with Joe Morgan tearing his ACL, and Marques Colston isn't exactly the most durable player in the NFL and Toon is his primary backup, so he could emerge as a pickup at some point this season. That said, only owners in extremely deep leagues should be paying attention to the son of Jets great Al Toon at this point.
