Colston, driver or d.thomas

Postby grooner10 » Tue Sep 28, 2010 8:43 pm

I doubt I will start d. thomas but was just asking:P.

Colston has done next to nothing for me, and the first two weeks it didn't matter but this week it cost me. Should I start driver ahead of him?

Colston @ car
Driver @ det

The thing is both gb and no spread the ball so really I don't like either anymore.

Man I'm in the same situation too and don't know what to do. Nicks had a monster game against CAR I was thinking maybe Colston can do the same but who knows. My WRs are Collie, Welker, Driver and may sit Colston not sure yet.........

Alot of people r sayin Driver http://fantasynews.cbssports.com/fantasyfootball/rankings theres some rankings for this week. I think I'm gonna go the other way n try Colston. I'll prob change my mind 20 more times this week ill hit u back up fri/sat for final decision. Last year driver toasted DET for 107 and 142 yds TD.....hmmmmm

I would stick with M. Colston. I still think he has significant more potential for production than your other two options. He should get his eventually.

drivers got 2 TD and consistently getting a fair amount of targets. and they're playing detroit.

colston has been getting ignored in NO, will he have a couple big games? of course. but that's the problem, everyone at some point has a big game for NO. no one has the consistent games.

dthomas has the same issue, and until he develops some consistent rapport with orton, he'd be a backup option for me.



driver all the way for me.

How much do you like the rest of your team? If you NEED consistant production, I think Driver should be good for like 30-50 yrds and a TD or 60+ yards. IF you think you can take some risk with this position I'd say Colston, he's due for a big game, he's probably the best redzone threat NO has, and he's got a much higher ceiling.

Driver is yet to have his multiple TD game this year, and he seems to always notch at least one per season -- even in his later years. What BETTER opportunity will he have than at home vs a divisional rival like the Lions, whom the Packers basically OWN? ARodg and Green Bay will be looking to get back-on-track after their MNF loss at the hands of the Bears, and can ill-afford to drop another divisional game vs DET, so look for everyone to get involved on offense, especially thru the air, where I feel Driver will have better numbers this week than Colston, who seems to have gotten "lost" in the sea of receivers in New Orleans... GL ;-D

You should be a sales person if your not already:p

You make very good points and I started changing my mind today, i just didn't want to bench colston as I drafted him somewhat early (like 6-10 can't remember) but he does seem to be lost.
