2012 Outlook: Stud (low risk)

Last updated on Aug-11-2012 by Daniel Kalles

Plain and Simple, Wes Welker is a stud fantasy receiver. In PPR leagues, Welker is a top 5 fantasy WR and in non PPR leagues he is top 12. The 2011 campaign, stellar, catching 122 receptions and setting career highs in yards (1569) and TDs (9). As long as he is catching passes from Tom Brady, you can expect him to put up similar numbers. Draft as a top WR and don't let any lingering contract banter cloud your vision.

Update 8-11-2012 - Like Brady, not much needs to be said. Welker does what he does and does it well. Welker is a top 10 WR and top 5 in PPR leagues.

Average Draft Position

Wes Welker was drafted in 100% of MyFantasyLeague.com leagues with an average drafting position of 48.27

MyFantasyLeague Expert Draft
May 2, 2012
2.06 KFFL 
2012 Experts Mock Draft (June)
June 6, 2012 - June 25, 2012
2.04 KFFL.com - I felt that I had to pick the safest wideout after choosing McFadden with my first selection. Welker will be playing for a big-money deal and shouldn't disappoint. I'm expecting nearly 100 grabs for 1,250 yards and around eight scores.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (July)
July 16 - 27
2.12 KFFL.com - I'm not worried about how many mouths the Patriots have to feed, nor am I worried about him not getting a new contract. He'll still log close to 100 catches, making him a PPR stud standby.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (August)
Aug 14 - 24
3.08 CBSSports.com - Not sure how he gets passed up in this format, but I'll take it. His production should decline with the addition of Brandon Lloyd, but he'll still get close to 100 catches with quality yards and a handful of touchdowns.
