Marques Colston

I picked Colston to be my #1 receiver this year and am regretting that pick as he's basically been shut down for a week and missed the first preseason game. Anyone else regretting a Colston pick?

Via Rotoworld......

Marques Colston - WR - Saints
Marques Colston (knee) returned to practice Sunday.
His participation level isn't yet known. Colston missed nearly a week and half while waiting for the irritation and swelling in his surgically knee to subside. He's going to have to avoid setbacks over the next week or two before we'd even consider drafting him as a borderline WR2.

If he slips too far, and the Saints are just being cautious in the offseason, he could have some serious value.

If healthy, I think Colston is a rock-solid WR2 - especially in PPR leagues. He's still the No. 1 WR on a great passing offense. That has value. If he can practice the rest of the preseason without incident I'll feel much better about targeting him. Right now, I'm skittish.

Jeff Duncan is one of the best beat writers covering the Saints He Tweeted last week that he thought maybe Colston was getting the "veteran" treatment (i.e. being rested to save him for the season). Duncan is very clued into the Saints so I found that rather interesting.
