Welker Doesnt Feel The Same
Update: New England Patriots WR Wes Welker told the Boston Globe’s Albert Breer that he does not feel the same after tearing up his knee at the end of 2009. He has played this preseason and has looked good, but apparently Welker does not have full confidence in his knee yet. Welker told Breer, “I still feel like I’m a long ways off from that personally.”
Fantasy Impact: Playing with confidence is a big part in football, and if Welker is not fully confident, his play could be effected. He is Brady’s favorite target over the middle of the field and in the short passing game, so Welker should see the ball plenty of times. As the season goes on, Welker should regain his confidence in his knee and should catch the ball enough to be a good play in fantasy, especially PPR leagues.
