Saints Predict-A-Poll: 1,000-Yard Receiver?

We all know Sean Payton runs the Saints offense with precision and most importantly, balance. Combined with the sheer awesomeness of Drew Brees, it has done wonders for the best offense in the league but not necessarily for wideouts looking to rack up yardage on the field.

During the 2008 season, there were no receivers to break the barrier - Lance Moore came dangerously close with 928 yards - yet the Saints maintained the best passing offense in the league. Last season, Marques Colston was the only receiver on the team to register over 1,000 yards, though barely, breaking the milestone by only 74 yards. In fact, since Payton took over the team in 2006, Colston has been the only player to catch for over 1,000 yards in a single season.

In short, the sum of the Saints passing attack is greater than it's parts. So the question today is simple:Will any of the Saints receivers break the 1,000 yard mark. If so, who will it be?
