WR return specialists (1 Viewer)

Hey guys. I have a unique league in which return yards are added onto each individual player's stats as opposed to the defense scoring (D/ST). That makes guys like Dante Hall and Wes Walker valueable as a WR3 in my league, because they have a base amount of return points every week and any pass thrown their way is a major bonus. I am looking for guys that anyone might know that are not only the team's kick/punt returner, but also play a significant (or could play a somewhat significant) role in the passing offense. For example, this year Kevin Curtis has been returning kicks in the preseason and should hall in a bunch of passes from Bulgar. That pushes his stock up A LOT in my league. Any others that anyone can think of?

 
The vikes tried out Troy Wilkinson as KR - but he fumbled in the last preseason game so they might not try it again...

Jerome Mathis of Houston was the #3 KR/PR last season but he is going to be out for the first few weeks of this season. Keep an eye on his injury and grab him off of waivers when he gets healthy.

 
Thanks for the suggestions. That list will help my draftboard significantly. Unfortunately, finding a guy who is third or higher on a team's WR depth cart and returns kicks is quite a difficult task (due to injury concern). Northcutt jumps off the list at me, but is anybody in cleveland going to get significant receiving yards with Frye at the helm... lol.

 
Welker and Hall are the two I like that get little credit. Hall had plenty of press a couple years back when he ran several kicks for TDs.
