While Welker shouldn't be expected to match his gaudy New England numbers, he can still be a very valuable fantasy piece this season on a team expected to throw the ball quite a lot.","date":"Tue May 21"},"fullName":"Wes Welker","pointsSEASON":163,"seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"It was pretty easy when Welker was in New England. You just penciled him in for 110 catches and 1,200 yards every year. But now he's in Denver, sharing the receiving spotlight with Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker, and things feel less certain. For sure, Peyton Manning loves to throw it to the slot: Heck, he gave fading Brandon Stokley 57 targets there last year. But the Broncos' outside weapons are so dangerous. Can we really assume Welker will approach the 160-plus targets per season he routinely saw from Tom Brady? We downgraded Welker a bit from his Patriots days, and we'd draft Thomas ahead of him. But he's still a fantasy starter, and should continue to be a PPR monster.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Mon May 13"},"positionRank":12,"projectedPoints":154}
