The Facts:
Colston and Robert Meachem underwent significant surgeries following the 2010 season, but both of them are training at full speed and feel like they can be even stronger in 2011 than they were at any point last year.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Colston had a microfracture surgery to repair cartilage around his right kneecap -- similar to the procedure he had performed on his left knee in 2009. That year, Colston was back to 100 percent before the start of training camp, and he said he's even further ahead of schedule this time. Colston, who also had surgery on his wrist this offseason, said he knew throughout last season that he would eventually need the surgery performed on his knee. But he was able to manage the pain until he aggravated the knee in Week 16 at Atlanta. ... Meachem, too, fought through the nagging pain in his left ankle for all of last season. When asked if he thinks the ankle now will feel better than ever after surgery, he said, "It'll be 10 times better. ..." The only thing holding him back now is the NFL lockout.
