Marques Colston: Plays briefly in preseason game

It was good to see last year's surprise rookie standout out on the field last night against Miami, even if it was only for two offensive series with backup QB Jamie Martin (Drew Brees sat the game out due to being Drew Brees).

Overall, Colston's a very solid #2 fantasy WR and will quickly qualify as a #1 WR if he can return to last year's level of production and avoid injuries. However, while it may be too early to label him as "injury-prone," it's hard not to worry about a guy who missed some games in his rookie season and is starting this year with an ambiguous knee problem.

People who own him in Yahoo! leagues will sorely miss the TE eligibility he had for all of 2006, which made him an absolutely priceless commodity.

Sell High, Buy Low: Trade ideas for Week 6 2008:
- Tim: Just reading this post now and Matt you mentioned my 2 RBs (Jacobs and LT). This is a deeper league (14 teams) where some teams have gaping wholes to fill and my team just so happens to need some quality WR. I agree Turner is emerging into a top 5 monster back, but I'm...
- Matt: If he's going to give you Turner for Jacobs, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Turner's an elite RB so far and I see no reason to believe he won't finish in the top 5 overall at the position. Jacobs' carries in the past three games: 15, 14, 15. Chances are, that's what the Giants...
- Ali: sorry didn't give you the full picture. I have Addai, Jacobs, Forte, Fargas, McClain, and Sproles. I have a guy who might be open to pulling the trigger on Jacobs for Turner, would you do it? or would you rather go with Jacobs for Jackson? thanks guys!
- Brandon: @Ali: You might try to pawn Jacobs for Steven Jackson at this point. While Jackson was probably taken a round ahead of Jacobs in the draft, Jackson only has one touchdown this year and is underperforming. He's gotten plenty of carries over the past two games though and is used in the passing game too...
- Matt: There's no way you'd get Turner for Jacobs. Are you sure you want to trade Jacobs when you only have two other RB?
- Ali: I have Jacobs and I would like to trade him. What do you think about a trade for Turner? He gets more carries than Jacobs. If not turner what other RBs do you think I could get for Jacobs at his level? My other RBs are Forte and Addai

What's with the green dot on QB helmets?:
- Anonymous: defence capt also has green dot ( # 51 leber -minisota vickings) so not iust qb have one . also you might mean only one player from each team can have a green dot
