Jarvis Basnight 119 Posted September 19, 2007 The guy has the exact same number of targets as Randy Moss. Each have had 9 targets per game. He's 19th overall in scoring for wr's and he's tied with Colston, M Harrison, and Moss for the 16th most targets among all wr's. Is he legit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stewburtx8 67 Posted September 19, 2007 In a ppr league I think Welker is a must start every week as a #2 WR. He will catch 90 balls this year. In standard scoring leagues i think he is more of a #3 type WR who could get 900 yards and 6 or 7 TD's this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
p00h 85 Posted September 19, 2007 ppr he's a must start indeed. Brady looks to him early and often. Might end up with 100+ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johndipaolo 0 Posted September 19, 2007 He is a must start right now...and his numbers will only grow as teams pay more and more attention to Moss. However...if Moss goes down with an injury...look out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PSILOCYBIN 0 Posted September 19, 2007 I've got Holt, Fitz, Javon Walker and Welker. With the usage of a flex, I have been playing all but Welker thus far, this year. We are in PPR league...not sure what I should do ...but If I was not so dep at WR, I would most definitley be starting him each week as my flex. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hitman29 0 Posted September 19, 2007 I'm trying to get this guy as my #3. Offered Marshall for him, see if he bites. I already have Walker as my #1, so I don't want to trot a tandem from the same team out there every week. I also have Brady. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bno70_1 0 Posted September 19, 2007 Ya, I got #1 waiver priority this week and I'm thinking of going him over Deshaun Wynn because my #2 wr position is a mining accident this season. I too looked at targets and receptions, and Welker might be a great guy to have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I too looked at targets and receptions, and Welker might be a great guy to have. Why is this guy available in so many leagues still? He was drafted in the 14th rnd of my 10 teamer. He was right on the cusp of being drafted in most leagues I would guess. Why is he still on so many wires?? Go grab him! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was right on the cusp of being drafted in most leagues I would guess. Why is he still on so many wires?? Go grab him! 10 team Td heavy. It's the only one out of 4 leagues where he's available. Brady's penchent in past years for spreading the ball around has kept him on the waivers I suppose. I mean, really, when is the last season where TWO pats receivers have been legit fantasy plays week to week? Brady can throw 300 yards to 8 different targets in any given week. Looks like this year he is really warming up to Moss and Welker though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

t.j 35 Posted September 19, 2007 Drafted him late even though the last thing my team needed at the time was a WR. Already had T.J. Houshmandzadeh, Larry Fitzgerald, Santonio Holmes, Brandon Marshall, and Calvin Johnson. Haven't started him yet, I put him on the trading block, but no takers yet.

ROCKET 0 Posted September 20, 2007 After following the Pats and going to a few of their preseason practices I knew Welker would be gold as a #3 wr in ppr leagues. I only got him in 2 out of 4 leagues as there are Pats homers in my local leagues. I don't know about 100 receptions but I can see 80/800 with around 9-10 td's. The thing a lot of people don't realize is he is a great red zone threat because he's very shifty and can find holes in the defense as well as evade tacklers.

If I were you I'd trade either Fitz, Holmes, or Marshall. CJ, TJ and Welker are a great trio to have assuming it's a ppr league. I'll put $$ on Welker catching more balls than Fitzgerald.

MudDawgs4Life 6 Posted September 20, 2007 are you guys saying that i shouldn't bench welker (home vs. buffalo) for nate burleson (home vs. cincy) this week in my half-ppr league this week? do you think cincy's defense is as bad as they were against cleveland this week? they can't be THAT bad. it's not like we should start throwing any POS we have on our bench into our starting lineups because they've got the bengals on the schedule, right?

I already have Walker as my #1, so I don't want to trot a tandem from the same team out there every week. I also have Brady. Hate to quote myself, but I'm trying to figure why this guy rejected this offer. It seemed like a good fit for both teams. He hasn't played Welker yet. He's played Mark Clayton as his WR3 the first 2 weeks (has him in there again this week). He has Randy Moss. Now, I can see him wanting to hold onto Welker in case Randy gets injured, but at the expense of having Clayton in his lineup? I dunno, maybe I'm missing something? He rejected it without a comment or a counter offer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HenryChinaski 1 Posted September 20, 2007 Yeah I've been considering it.. I have Fitz as my WR2 going against Balt. or it's Welker vs. Buffalo.. i can't decide. It's a TD heavy league, I'm thinking that Welker is most likely to catch one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
