Jeremy Shockey-TE- Saints Oct. 8 - 8:54 pm et


Jeremy Shockey (groin) and Marques Colston (thumb surgery) were both limited participants in Saints practice Wednesday and could play this week.

Sean Payton says both could be ready for the Raiders, which is a great surprise. "Both of them ...moved around pretty good. We'll see tomorrow how they feel, especially when it comes to Jeremy. But Marques looked good." It sounds like Colston is likely to play if he has no setbacks. Shockey is more questionable. The Saints' secondary receivers could lose snaps.

Wow, getting them BOTH back this week would be a boost for them and fantasy teams who own them going forward.

Amen on Colston!

1. Drop Meachem
2. Drop D.Henderson
3. Drop L.Moore

Maybe so.

I feel bad for all those people who dumped lots of cash on Moore, as he was ineffective last week, and as you said, shouldn't be an option going forward.

I think moore should be held onto and not droped. he will be bye week fill in or wr3 when needed. the problem with moore now is between bush , shockey and colston there are to many options with only one ball. i think he is a patrick crayton type. 0 pts , 4 pts , 2 pts. 25 pts.

Moore is someone who can't be relied on anymore... and oh yeah, Patten is coming back to.

When 3 guys who all were better options than Moore come back, it appears to be quite obvious he will be less productive.

While a case can be made that Moore is more talented than Patten, I don't think Sean Payton is buying it/seeing it.

Actually, Colston and Bush seem to be Brees' favorite targets. The only reason it seems that Moore is his favorite is because he has no one else to throw to right now. Once Colston comes back and Shockey is healthy I think Moore will fall back into the role he had last year. He will not be posting anymore 2 TD performances any time soon. I think his purpose was served for those two short weeks.

I would LOVE to have Colston back this week (while we're still playing Breaston for Bolding too)!
