SUMMARY
Wide Receiver Rank: #17   
Overall: #55


There were some questions about his health heading into last season but Colston proved he was more than healthy, having one of his best seasons to date. He had the second most receiving yards of his career despite missing two of the first three games of the season, finishing with more than 1,100 yards for just the second time. He had four 100-yard games during the regular season and topped 100 yards in each of their two playoff games. Colston has 1,000-yard seasons all but one during his six-year NFL career. He has been a consistent force as the No .1 receiver in the Saints' offense, a role he should continue to serve this season. Colston does have some injury concerns because of past knee issues but he has played at least 14 games the last three seasons. Colston is a big target with plus speed. He still drops the occasional pass, but runs good routes and will make the tough catch in traffic. The Saints are a pass-first team that spreads the ball to a host of receivers, but Colston is a good bet to lead the receivers in targets as their No. 1 receiver.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Colston isn't quite an elite fantasy receiver, but just outside that group. His reception totals aren't among the top guys, but he will top 1,000 yards and near double-digit touchdowns. He is a serviceable No. 1 for fantasy teams.
New Orleans Saints interim head coach Joe Vitt said Tuesday, April 24, that WR Marques Colston was excused from the team's voluntary offseason workouts to pursue his degree.

The New Orleans Saints have agreed to terms on a five-year deal with free-agent WR Marques Colston, who was set to become an unrestricted free agent. Financial terms were not immediately available.
Fantasy Impact: This keeps his value high for fantasy teams. He produces well in this offense and is a low-end No. 1 for fantasy teams.

The New Orleans Saints could lose impending free-agent WR Marques Colston and OG Carl Nicks this offseason if they place the franchise tag on impending free-agent QB Drew Brees. The team could sign either Colston or Nicks if they are able to reach a long-term agreement with Brees.

There has been speculation the Oakland Raiders will make a run at New Orleans Saints impending free-agent WR Marques Colston.

Although the New Orleans Saints would suffer a huge loss if impending free-agent WR Marques Colston were to sign elsewhere in the offseason, the team does have a history of finding offensive weapons through late rounds of the NFL Draft and with undrafted rookie free agents. The Saints also have other needs, so they may not be able to afford Colston's asking price.

The New Orleans Saints have not had any contract talks with impending free-agent WR Marques Colston since the season ended because they are working on a new deal with impending free-agent QB Drew Brees.

New Orleans Saints WR Marques Colston, a pending free agent set to hit the market March 13, is a high priority for the team. He provides an interior toughness, size and presence that the other wide receivers on the roster cannot provide. Colston said he won't give the team a 'hometown discount.'
