Wide Receiver Rank: #10
Overall: #35
Colston was slowed by a knee injury pretty much the first half of the season, but still managed 760-receving yards and five touchdowns despite missing five games. He had three 100-yard games and at least five receptions five times. He had cleanup surgery on the knee after the season, but isn't expected to be slowed much during the offseason. Colston is the top target for the Saints at receiver. And the Saints throw often, meaning Colston will get his chances. Colston needs to stay healthy, though. He has been slowed by injury much of his first three seasons but played through many of them (back, knee, etc.). Colston is a big target in the passing game with good speed. He will drop a few passes, but Colston runs good routes and will make the tough catch in traffic.

Injuries are a concern with Colston, but he can produce like an elite fantasy option when healthy and playing. Colston seems primed for a career year after a disappointing '08. It wouldn't be a surprise to see him notch career highs across the board. |

| Fantasy Impact: Colston doesn't seem slowed at all by his offseason knee surgery. Owners should feel confident taking him as their No. 1 receiver. |
