Rams | Nick Toon will join St. Louis Mon Sep 28, 01:55 PM
Free-agent WR Nick Toon (Saints) will sign with the St. Louis Rams, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: This could be bad news for Brian Quick. He's recovering from a shoulder injury that was once thought to be career threatening. Quick has been a healthy scratch for every game this year, and there's been no spotting him on the injury report. It's one of the most mysterious situations right now. If Toon signs, then perhaps it's a sign that Quick is done. |

New Orleans Saints WR Nick Toon (ankle) has a high ankle sprain and could miss as much as two to three weeks, according to sources.

Saints | Nick Toon will play Z receiver Wed Jul 8, 03:16 PM
New Orleans Saints WR Nick Toon will primarily play off the line of scrimmage, or in the Z position, for the Saints in 2015. Toon will also line up on the strong side of the formation. In his first three seasons, Toon had played as the X receiver.

Saints | Nick Toon to see a lot more snaps Tue Jul 7, 03:29 PM
New Orleans Saints WR Nick Toon's snap count will go way up this season, according to head coach Sean Payton. Payton said Toon has been working hard, he understands the system and he has shown progress.
| Footballguys view: Toon is competing with Seantavius Jones, Brandon Coleman, Joseph Morgan, and Josh Morgan for a #3 wide receiver job that won't be relevant for fantasy leagues without an injury to one of the top two WRs on the Saints, Brandin Cooks and Marques Colston. The third year player from Wisconsin was unimpressive in extended time last year, so progress would be needed before we would even monitor Toon closely in dynasty leagues. |

Saints | Nick Toon favorite for No. 3 WR Wed Jun 3, 06:32 PM
New Orleans Saints WR Nick Toon seems to be the frontrunner to be the Saints' No. 3 wide receiver, according to ESPN.com's Mike Triplett. Triplett said Joe Morgan and Josh Morgan are also in the mix for the position.
| Footballguys view: We've been waiting and waiting for guys like Toon--and both Morgans--to actually start playing up to their potential. This is a positive sign for Toon, but let's just say we're a little hesitant about getting excited given his disappointing career to this point. |

Saints | Nick Toon impressing Fri Jul 25, 10:24 AM
New Orleans Saints WR Nick Toon looks poised for big things this season, according to beat writer Jim Corbett. He shields well and looks like a tight end at 6-foot-4.
| Footballguys view: Toon has quietly been gathering buzz this offseason. He's absolutely worth a later round flier, but his stock could rise in the coming weeks. Right now he looks like a lock for the No. 4 spot and a good camp could get him more. |

Saints | Plenty of depth if Marques Colston can't go Sat Nov 2, 12:02 AM
New Orleans Saints WR Marques Colston (knee) is uncertain to play in the Week 9 game against the New York Jets. If he cannot go, the team still has good depth at the receiver position with WR Lance Moore healthy, and WR Kenny Stills emerging as a solid threat. WRs Robert Meachem and Nick Toon also provide good depth.
| Footballguys view: Stills is an emerging talent with the speed to get on top of the defense in a hurry. Fantasy owners can count on him as a flex play with upside regardless of Colston's playing status. The one player we'd like to see more of is Nick Toon. He's got the size and wingspan to be at least a red zone threat. |

Saints | Jimmy Graham misses practice Thu Oct 24, 06:21 PM
New Orleans Saints TE Jimmy Graham (foot) did not practice Thursday, Oct. 24, and the likelihood of him playing in Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills decreased. TE Benjamin Watson may start in Graham's place if he cannot play. Watson had three catches for 61 yards against the New England Patriots in Week 6 when Graham was blanketed in coverage.
| Footballguys view: There's still one more day before you hit DEFCON 1 but this is a concern. As mentioned, Watson will step in and could be a decent bye week/injury replacement if you're in a tight spot. |

Saints | Younger WRs could get more chances Tue Aug 6, 12:27 AM
New Orleans WRs Saalim Hakim, Preston Parker, Kenny Stills, Andy Tanner and Nick Toon could each see bigger roles following the injury to WR Joe Morgan (knee), who is likely to miss at least a few weeks. However, the team values experience in the top three receiver roles, and it is believed veteran WR Steve Breaston will get a long look as the No. 3 first before any of the younger players.
| Footballguys view: Toon is the player to watch here. If healthy Toon has good size and the wingspan to make plays in the red zone. Toon is not a quick twitch athlete and needs to be a more refined route runner if he wants to play up to his potential. |

Saints | Nick Toon to have bigger role? Sun Jun 9, 08:08 PM
New Orleans Saints WR Nick Toon (foot) appears more comfortable in the offense despite missing all of his rookie season in 2012 due to a foot injury. He will be among those trying to beat out WR Joe Morgan for the No. 3 wide receiver duties.
| Footballguys view: Toon is a large target with a big wingspan and good 'my ball' mentality. He's not the most explosive player and needs to hone his route running in order to get open consistently at the pro level. |

Saints | Nick Toon to IR Sat Sep 1, 09:46 AM
The New Orleans Saints have placed WR Nick Toon (foot) on Injured Reserve.

Saints | Nick Toon doubtful for preseason game Mon Aug 20, 02:14 PM
New Orleans Saints WR Nick Toon (foot) is considered doubtful for the preseason game Saturday, Aug. 25, because of a foot injury.
| Footballguys view: Toon's foot problems date back to his senior season at Wisconsin. He's missed the entire preseason and is unlikely to lock down the team's WR4 spot by the start of the regular season. We like his upside in a dynasty league, but he may have little to no impact as a rookie. |

| Footballguys view: Toon is an interesting prospect to watch in deep dynasty leagues. He has a large wingspan and knows how to use his frame to box out defenders. |

Saints | Adrian Arrington leads way in No. 4 WR race Sat Jul 28, 01:35 AM
New Orleans Saints WR Adrian Arrington has been impressive through the first two days of training camp, and he appears to have a leg up in the battle for the No. 4 wide receiver job over WR Joseph Morgan and Nick Toon. Arrington is capable of playing all three receiver positions.
| Footballguys view: Arrington has been with the Saints since they made him a seventh-round pick in 2008. He has an interesting size/speed combination and has made strides as a route runner during his pro career. Morgan is a sleeper to watch in deep dynasty leagues. Toon is the rookie who reminded some scouts of Saints WR Marques Colston. |

The New Orleans Saints agreed to terms with fourth-round draft choice WR Nick Toon on a four-year deal. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Toon is an interesting prospect to keep an eye on in dynasty leagues. His size, wingspan, and ball tracking ability reminds some in the scouting community of Marques Colston. He'll begin as a reserve WR for the Saints, but could work his way up the depth chart quickly. |

The New Orleans Saints selected University of Wisconsin WR Nick Toon with the 122nd overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft.
