Football Outsiders: Biggest Decliners in Top 200

WR: Marques Colston, New Orleans Saints (174)

Colston's medical history is a huge red flag. Never the quickest or most explosive wide receiver, if he continues to slow down in those departments, gaining separation could be a real issue. Also, it looks like the Saints will be a more balanced attack by featuring their run game more. Two declining wide receivers who might end up in the Hall of Fame someday are Reggie Wayne (76) and Hines Ward (197). I see both players' roles in their respective offenses diminishing going forward; Ward could even lose his starting job.
