A year and a half removed from tearing his ACL, Welker returned to his dominant form in 2011 posting career highs in yards with 1,573 and touchdowns with nine while catching 122 passes, one short of matching his career-high. After suffering a torn ACL in Week 17 of the 2009 season, Welker’s production dropped in 2010 and there was some concern that injuries and age (he turned 30 prior to the start of last season) were beginning to catch up to him. He put those concerns to rest but apparently not enough to entice the Patriots to sign him to a lucrative long-term contract extension as he was slapped with the franchise tag for the upcoming season. That might be a good thing for his fantasy prospects as he will be forced to put together another strong year to get the contract he is looking for. While the Patriots have improved their depth chart at wide receiver with the additions of Brandon Lloyd and Jabar Gaffney, Welker’s role as the team’s main threat in the passing game will remain unchanged. He remains a top-ten fantasy wide receiver.

DEN eyeing three 75-catch receivers? -- Mon Jun 17 3:25 pm --
Thomas, Decker and Welker in line for big seasons | The Broncos had superb pass-catching balance last year as slot receiver Brandon Stokley and tight ends Jacob Tamme and Joel Dreessen fell in behind outside receivers Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker. The mix this year removes Stokley and his 45 catches and replaces him with Wes Welker, who in six previous seasons with the New England Patriots averaged 112.
For the Broncos' offense to become the NFL's most lethal this season, the new balance needs Thomas to get 85 catches with Decker and Welker coming in at around 75 each. (Denver Post)
FF Today's Take: Bear in mind that Denver's passing game is much more focused on the outside receivers than New England's is. Still, Welker is going to see substantially more passes thrown in his direction than Stokley did last season (45 catches on 58 targets). He could easily steal most of Tamme's 52 receptions as well given they both play the slot. In short, while Welker won't catch another 112 balls this season, there's little reason to believe Thomas or Decker's final numbers will decline much.
