You really think the Denver Broncos aren't going to throw to Wes Welker Sunday night?
Welker is officially listed as active for Sunday night's Broncos game against his former team, the New England Patriots, and an active Welker is a must-start Welker. The wide receiver has 61 receptions for 648 yards and nine touchdowns on the season, his first with the Broncos after leaving the Patriots in the offseason.
Fantasy impact: Okay, "guy will score because his team want to give him a 'moment'" isn't the most hardcore analysis. But, "nine touchdowns" is, and Welker has proven to be more than just a product of Tom Brady since his arrival in Denver. Now that he's officially active after having been hampered all week with a concussion, there should be no worries about Welker Sunday night, and fantasy owners should use him with confidence.
