ESPN Fantasy Projection (last updated: May 15, 2009)
2009 Season Outlook
Welker is the ultimate possession receiver, and in 2008 that was just what the Patriots needed most. With Tom Brady out, Matt Cassel was quick with his decisions but inaccurate on deeper passes, meaning his top option was often Welker, who responded with 111 grabs, second in the NFL. It's a bit alarming that his touchdowns went from eight in '07 to three last year, but he could revert to form with Brady back. The larger point is the Patriots want Welker to get the ball in the middle of the field and make plays, and he has done so by catching more passes than anyone in football the past two seasons combined. Touchdowns come and touchdowns go, but a steady stream of productive Sundays is a nice thing to be able to count on. Bump up Welker even higher in a point-per-reception league.
