Nothing can stop Wes Welker, fantasy juggernaut. Not losses, not injuries, not the presence of seemingly scores of options for Tom Brady in the Patriots' offense.

Welker is well on his way to a monstrous season. He had 824 receiving yards on the season with six receiving touchdowns entering Week 9, and was averaging 117 yards receiving per game. Incredibly, that’s an improvement of nearly 60 yards per game from 2010.
Welker was the second-ranked wide receiver according to Yahoo! heading into his match up with the Giants, behind Green Bay's Greg Jennings.
