Marques Colston caught three passes for 26 yards and a touchdown on six targets versus the Falcons in Week 10.

The Falcons have been shutting down No. 1 receivers all season. Colston did well to reach over the goal line for a 7-yard score while Jimmy Graham was stealing the show. He has a better matchup at Oakland in Week 11.

Marques Colston caught four passes for 46 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' Week 9 win over the Eagles on Monday night.

Colston reeled in all four targets that came his way. With Jimmy Graham dominating the middle of the field and the Saints' running game doing their job, Colston and the wideout group wasn't asked to take on much work. Colston's touchdown catch came via the one-yard variety at the end of the second quarter where he beat Nnamdi Asomugha in the back of the end zone. After eight games, the receiver is on pace for an 88/1252/12 line. The yards and touchdowns would be career-highs. Colston is a legit WR1 for the remainder of the season. Atlanta is up next on the schedule.

The Broncos held Marques Colston in check in Week 8 by matching him up with Champ Bailey on the majority of plays.

Perhaps the hottest receiver in the league entering the game, Colston finished with five catches for 63 yards, and a late-game 14-yard reception came with Bailey on the sideline due to the blowout score. Bailey doesn't always follow opposing No. 1 receivers into the slot, but he did on Sunday Night Football and helped shut down the Saints' offense, which is usually an impossible task.

Marques Colston caught five passes for 63 yards in New Orleans' Week 8 loss to the Broncos.

Colston had trouble getting loose against an inspired Broncos secondary, and caught fewer than seven passes for the first time in four games. He's still averaging 7.5 receptions for 105 yards since Week 4, however, and tied Jimmy Graham for the team lead in targets this evening. There just wasn't any space in the passing game for a Saints' team whose defense left them no room for error. Colston will square off with the Eagles' embattled defense in Week 9.

Marques Colston went off against the Chargers in New Orleans' Week 5 win, catching nine passes for 131 yards and three touchdowns.

With Lance Moore out and Jimmy Graham ailing, Colston was Drew Brees' go-to receiver. All three of Colston's scores came within the red zone, while the nine-catch performance was his second straight. After getting off to a slow start due in part to a foot injury, he'll now enter the Saints' Week 6 bye averaging 5.6 catches for 88.8 yards. He has four total touchdowns. He's a high-end WR2/borderline WR1.

Player Prop Bets - Week 5 (fantasysharks.com)

I have a feeling that all of you thought I was joking when I said the quality of officiating would have a direct correlation to the success of my prop bets. Well, now you know and its time to stop holding back. I came roaring back into the green on the back of a few parlays and was a 0.5 Jamaal Charles rushing yard away from having one of my best weeks ever. Week 5: Roll with the momentum.

Week 5 Player Prop Bets:

300 Sand$ - Reggie Wayne (Colts) Total Receptions OVER 5.5 ( -115)

Wayne is averaging 13.3 targets per game and has yet to record less than six receptions. Indianapolis will most likely be playing from behind and that just means more passing!

Gut call of the week.

100 Sand$ - BenJarvus Green-Ellis (Bengals) Total Rushing Yards UNDER 74.5 (-115)

I think Miami's run defense matches up very well against Cincinnati and Green-Ellis. I don't think they are as terrifying as their stats make it seem. Miami had three cupcake games against running backs from the New York Jets, Arizona Cardinals, and Oakland Raider (Relax. Before you get all "what about Darren McFadden???" on me, you need to look at his stats. He is a whopping 56 for 137 if you take out his one 64 yard run against Pittsburgh. Or as I like to call it - 2.5 yards per carry.)

300 Sand$ - Marshawn Lynch (Seahawks) Total Rushing Yards OVER 100.5 (-115)

It's the Carolina Panthers.

100 Sand$ - Russell Wilson (Seahawks) Total Passing Yards OVER 198.5 (-115)

It's the Carolina Panthers. Also, Chris Gamble is most likely out for Sunday's...
