Fantasy Impact: With the Broncos being a virtual shoo-in for the playoffs and a Super Bowl contender, don't look for the team to rush back Welker.
There’s no doubt suffering two concussions in a short amount of time is nothing to mess with. That means fantasy owners should probably look elsewhere for another starter, not just this week, but perhaps for Week 16 and maybe even 17 as well.
Jacob Tamme handled slot work after Welker left the game, but he is a tight end so you would not be able to swap him in for Welker. The Broncos notable wide receivers are all taken, so keep an eye out for other waiver options
