New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marques Colston was limited in practice Friday, and is listed as questionable for Week 3 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Despite that, Colston is likely to play, according to a report in the New Orleans Times-Picayune. In two games, the 29-year-old has caught seven passes for 120 yards, but hasn't found the end zone in a high-scoring Saints attack.

Mark Ingram Stiff Arms A Fan
I started doing this to grown men that wanted autographs Juan…
Mark Ingram is one of the hardest fantasy guys to rank each week. You just never know when the Saints will give him any sort of volume. He is the goaline RB, but they throw so much around the stripe that he is not trustworthy. Maybe the Saints sitting at 0-2 may start trying to run the ball this week.

Saints Nation: Saints Problems on Defense Due to Poor Talent Evaluation?
The title of this post says it all, so let's cut right to the chase. In the Sean Payton era, below are the defensive players that have been drafted by the Saints:
Roman Harper (2006) 2nd round SS - Entering 7th season with the Saints, most as a starter. Should be considered a good player with some significant weaknesses in coverage.Rob Ninkovich (2006) 5th round DE/LB - Also...
