Report: Marques Colton Not Expected to Play in Week 16

The New Orleans Saints playoff aspirations are long over and as they enter Week 16, the team's facilities is now turning into a medical ward. Quarterback Drew Brees practiced on a limited basis and plans to play through a torn plantar fascia, tight end Benjamin Watson is questionable with a knee injury and now it appears Marques Colston will not play in Week 16.

Colston has missed practice all week with a chest injury and it was a evident sign he was going to miss Sunday's game. Colston's likely absence opens the door for Brandin Cooks to have an even bigger game against a Jaguars' defense that has allowed 14 receiving touchdowns this season.

If Brees starts, he should be relying heavily on Cooks, potentially looking to him upwards of 12-plus times and is a great fantasy option this week. The injuries are also a fantasy boost for Tim Hightower as he should see 16-plus touches and be more of a focal point of the offense.
