Colston caught two passes on four targets for 39 yards, including a 11-yard touchdown, in Monday night's loss to the Lions.
EDGE Analysis
Colston played 71 percent of the Saints' offensive snaps, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune, but it was Willie Snead and Brandin Cooks who did most of the receiving damage for the Saints. While Colston's role in the red zone has seemingly grown in Mark Ingram's absence - he has three touchdowns in the last two weeks - Colston is still not a high-volume player at this point in his career. The Week 16 matchup against the Jaguars seems favorable, but Colston makes for a risky play in many fantasy leagues, particularly if Drew Brees can't go.

Colston caught six passes on eight targets for 36 yards, including two touchdowns, in Sunday's win against the Buccaneers.
EDGE Analysis
Colston turned back the clock in Tampa Bay. The six catches were his second-most this season and his two touchdowns were of the red zone variety- one from 3-yards away and another from 1-yard out. Still, brought his season total to three scores. It's readily apparent that Colston only has 43 receptions this season and he has scored a grand total of three touchdowns this season. While the Saints still have some favorable matchups remaining on schedule, including a Week 15 tilt against the Lions, fantasy owners will have a hard time trusting that Colston can duplicate his success from Sunday.

Colston (non-injury) is active for Sunday's contest versus the Panthers, the Saints' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Willie Snead (calf) missing his first game of the season, Colston could be featured a bit more than his typical 5.2 targets per contest, which could yield fruit against a Carolina defense that will be without Charles Tillman (knee) yet again.

Colston's teammate Willie Snead (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Already lacking depth in their receiving corps, the Saints may be in for a rough afternoon against Carolina's superb pass defense. Nonetheless, Snead's presumed absence positions Colston to take on additional snaps and targets, with Brandon Coleman, T.J. Graham and TE Ben Watson the other potential beneficiaries. Top wideout Brandin Cooks will likely be in over his head against stud cornerback Josh Norman, so one of this motley crew could end up with a big game. There's a ton of pressure on Drew Brees and Mark Ingram this week.

Colston caught three passes on four targets for 38 yards in Sunday's loss to the Texans.
EDGE Analysis
With the Saints falling behind early, Colston saw an uptick in playing time - 74 percent of the Saints' offensive snaps, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune - as the Saints took to the air in three-wide receiver sets for most of the afternoon. Still, Colston could only manage modest production, and outside of a big performance in Week 8, he's failed to top four catches or crack 70 yards receiving this season. Colston can still offer some low-end production for fantasy owners desperate for options, particularly those in PPR leagues, but his upside is limited. Unfortunately, things will not get easier for Colston and the Saints in a Week 13 tilt against a stingy Panthers' defense.

Colston (not injury related) is active for Sunday's game at Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Colston is available, but outside of a nice game in Week 8, he is having a pretty quiet season.

Colston caught three passes on three targets for 37 yards in Sunday's loss to the Titans.
EDGE Analysis
Colston has clearly fallen to No. 3 on the Saints' wide receiver depth chart, as both Brandin Cooks and Willie Snead continue to play significantly more snaps than him. Still, quarterback Drew Brees has been rolling of late and continues to look Colston's way in critical situations, so Colston can still probably be relied on for low-end weekly production for fantasy teams in a pinch. Up next is a favorable Week 10 tilt in Washington.

Colston caught 8-of-9 targets for 114 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
A vintage performance from the veteran, who found the end zone for the first time this season and broke the 100-yard barrier for the first time since Week 6 of last year. Colston should not be counted on for these types of performance on a weekly basis, but he appears to be over the recent shoulder injury he suffered, and could experience an uptick in fantasy value if he can remain in the sights of red-hot quarterback Drew Brees. Colston and the Saints will play host to the Texans in Week 9.

Colston (shoulder) caught one pass on three targets for 20 yards in Sunday's win against the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
Though he only had one catch, it was a big one for the Saints, as it essentially sealed the win with time winding down in the fourth quarter. Still, it's clear that Colston is not the same player he was in his younger years in a Saints' uniform, and his playing time continues to dwindle, as he was on the field for only 27 of the Saints' 88 offensive snaps (31 percent), according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune. It's possibly Colston was still limited by a shoulder injury that held him out of the team's Week 6 tilt against the Falcons, but the upside simply does not appear to be there for the aging veteran.

Colston (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts, Evan Woodberry of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
EDGE Analysis
After missing the Week 6 game against the Falcons with a separated shoulder, Colston returned to practice in limited fashion this week, which was good enough for him to receive clearance to play. Prior to suffering the injury, Colston had recorded no more than four catches or 70 receiving yards in any of the Saints' five games, and now that he's back in action at less than ideal health, it's hard to envision him elevating his production this week.
