2012 Outlook: Solid/Safe Pick

Last updated on Aug-13-2012 by Vin Sadicario

Marques Colston has been remarkably consistent since being drafted by the Saints, and should continue to put up excellent fantasy numbers going forward. The Saints wide receiver is a virtual lock for somewhere around 75 catches, 1050 yards, and 8 touchdowns (if he is able to stay healthy). The emergence of Jimmy Graham did not hurt Colston's numbers in 2011, and should not cut into his production in 2012. Fantasy owners can count on Colston being a high end WR2, with even greater potential in the Saints' high powered passing offense.

2012 Mock Draft Results

Month	Position	Franchise/Comments
MyFantasyLeague Expert Draft May 2, 2012	5.02	TheProFFiler
2012 Experts Mock Draft (June) June 6, 2012 - June 25, 2012	4.07	FantasySharks.com - There's something comforting in the WR1 that Drew Brees throws to. The Saints locked up Colston for 5 years this off-season, not messing around with him or his contract. He's as stable as they come in one of the top offenses in the league. Works for me.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (July) July 16 - 27	4.05	FFToday.com - I'm not excited about the RB choices here, while the top available WR are getting a little thin. With Bryant in tow as my WR1, and recent news knocking his value down, if feels right to go back to the WR well with a more conservative and reliable option. Marques Colston represents that at this stage of this career: a consistent 80 catches, 1,000+ yards and 8-9 TD. Even with the turmoil hitting the Saints this offseason, Colston still has one of the best QBs in the league throwing to him, so I feel good about this pick.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (August) Aug 14 - 24	4.03	KFFL.com - He's not the most exciting WR1, but you can't ask for much more certainty than he gives, assuming that his knee issues don't come up again. The "values" at other positions are no really no more, because the questions don't come with answers just because it's a round or two later.
