Fantasy Outlook:

Why you should draft Marques Colston: In his two year career, Colston is averaging 84 receptions, 1120 receiving yards, and nearly ten touchdowns.  Last season, Colston had four games where he eclipsed triple figures in receiving yards, and he had eight contests where he had at least eight receptions.

Why you may want to stay away from drafting Marques Colston: In 2007, Colston was limited to 50 receiving yards or less six times, and he was held scoreless in nine games. 

Bottom Line: Colston is teetering with being an elite NFL receiver, and he is a solid No.1 fantasy wideout, especially in PPR leagues.  Colston would be a steal in the fourth round or beyond.
