Marques Colston injured shoulder on final drive, severity unknown

Sep 09, 2011

The New Orleans Saints are evaluating the condition of wide receiver Marques Colston after he appeared to be hurt during the final drive of the team's 42-34 loss to the Packers on Thursday.

The area of concern involved one of Colston's shoulders.

Fantasy Impact:

The Saints WR corps is already nicked up with Lance Moore missing time due to a groin injury. If Colston is also out, look for Robert Meachem, Devery Henderson and super sleeper Adrian Arrington to pick up the slack. Even with Colston in the lineup, Meachem and Henderson combined to catch 11 passes for 170 yards and two scores against the Packers on Thursday night.

Fantastic news for fantasy managers hanging on to Mike Evans: he should be considered a WR1 option immediately.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
