Scott's Analysis
Wes Welker Injury Update
July 25, 2010
According
to reports Wes Welker looks like he will be attending the Patriots camp
when it opens this week. If Welker is healthy enough to start the
season, his fantasy value shoots way up. While he is not a sexy pick,
he does deserve to be selected among the top 10 wide receivers. If you
look at his stats, especially in a league that gives points for
receptions, the numbers will backup my statement. In 2007, he had 112
catches for 1,175 yards, 111 receptions & 1,165 yards in 2008,
and last year 123 catches for 1,348 yards. There is not one receiver
over the last three years that has more receptions.
The next receiver is Brandon Marshall with 307. When looking at yardage
only Andre Johnson (3,995), Larry Fitzgerald (3,938), Reggie Wayne
(3,919), Randy Moss (3,765), and Brandon Marshall(3,710), have more
compared to Welker at 3,688 yards. If he is healthy and you need a wide
receiver in the 3rd or 4th round grab him. (developing
