His dad was great and underrated. Hope he makes the cut.

If Colston were to go down, wouldn't he step right into that position. Also, he offers something cooks & stills don't.

Anyone rostering him should realize that his value is as Colston's backup/future replacement.

That's what I remembering hearing all last summer. And in the one game Colston missed last year, Toon was awful, catching no balls and making a few major mistakes that led to several turnovers (drops or bad routes leading to INTs).

True... He was terrible in his only shot this far for significant time... Maybe this time he gets an opportunity and he shines... You could do worse with a late flier in dynasty because at least he has an elite QB
I believe your benches gotta be fairly deep (28 plus non idp) if you want to roster this guy in dynasty but if he does become the Marques Colston in this early in 2015 well then you've just picked up a decent wr2 possibly for next to nothing

the game Colston missed, I don't believe Toon got significant playing time. However, the game Lance Moore missed was the game Toon looked bad. That was addressed earlier in this thread in an article where Toon talked about how much he learned from that experience.

I expect Toon will be the #3 this year, but I don't feel like he's in the Saints long-term plans with him being a UFA after the season.
I'm expecting Brandon Coleman and/or Seantavius Jones to be starters next year,

I just think that Toon would have created more opportunity for himself in his first four years if he was very good. It's not a matter of being blocked IMO. Stills (5th rounder) came in and created opportunity for himself. Lance Moore (UDFA) did before that. Colston (7th rounder) did. Payton and Brees will use the players they believe will get things done, and up until the 2nd half of his 4th season Toon was an afterthought. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he's surpassed by Coleman and/or S Jones in preseason and spends his last year in New Orleans as the 4th/5th option then is elsewhere in 2016.

Forget Toon, Willie Snead is the guy you should keep your eyes on.

Snead has been getting a lot of nice comments from Payton. He's also been productive when given the opportunity during camp and preseason games. He's a different kind of WR than Coleman (smaller at 5'11 namely) but he's got some buzz.

i'm really glad that people continue to listen to triplett about josh hill
between this and his absurd belief the shell of colston will have a "career year" it should be clear he has little to offer in terms of how things will play out for fantasy

Part of the 2012 draft without Payton in the room. Seemed like a good idea but his development went nowhere, had one big chance vs the Jets a couple years ago and was a liability. Watch Snead make the team and get the WR4 job.
