The Facts:
While the tea leaves
say Vincent Jackson is the Bears' target at WR, Jackson also may be the man for about a half dozen other teams. The Chargers have not ruled out re-signing him, either. The Bears have to have a Plan B in the event they can't land him though. Colston may be that player.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As Tribune staffer Dan Pompei notes, Colston will be cheaper to sign than Jackson, and in some ways he is more attractive. Colston has outstanding hands. He is a clutch player who makes big catches when the Saints need them most, like on third downs and in the red zone. Colston is tough and physical and enhances his team's character. He is a great locker room guy. ... But Some teams will be cautious about Colston because he will be 29-years old soon and he has some wear and tear on his body. Pompei added that some personnel men wonder if Colston would be as productive in another environment, however. He undoubtedly has benefited from playing in a domed stadium, in a spectacular offensive system, and with Drew Brees. What's more, Colston has been in the same system his whole career. It is not unreasonable to suspect he would not be as productive in, say Chicago, as he was in New Orleans. But it would be unreasonable to suggest he could not improve the Bears offense significantly.
