Wes Welker appreciation thread (1 Viewer)

Thanks Wes, you the man, especially in a PPR. Not sure I would trade him for any WR in the game in PPR leagues. Maybe Mega, but I have him too

 
I better the Hoodie would have taken a win over the Bills instead of throwing to him and Gronk on every play though LOL, hey Hoodie remember when you guys won your earliest first in your WR corps who was around, oh yea, a guy name Deion Branch right? zero catches for Branch 15 for 20 (lost count) for Welker and you guys lost, maybe the key to the Wr corp isn't Welker and it's Branch. wasn't Welker in Miami when the Patriots won their first Superbowls.....

I'm just saying, lol

I do like Welker he's a great role model for any kid that as a dream to be in the NFL, it's not the size of the dog that matters it s how big his balls are. That "lil person" dude his crazy lol but every exciting to watch I always chuckle when he smokes Dbs lol

 
Traded him in 3 dynasty leagues in the offseason. Already lost to him twice to teams I traded him to week 1 and week 3 singly handidly he beat me.

Thanks Wes...I really appreciate it!

 
Has to be the most valuable player thus far relative to draft position. I don't remember the exact round I got him in, but know it was pretty late, probably 10th round or so. Anyone know what his ADP was?

Guy fell way too low in most PPR drafts, especially since players like Bowe, MWTB, and Wayne were going at least a round ahead of him.

I think the assumption was that the new guy, Ochocinco, was going to be the most valuable asset in the Pats' passing game. (beyond Brady) Will Welker keep up this torrid pace? Probably not, but at least he's got your team out to a good start. He'll definitely end the year as a top 5 WR barring injury.

I don't see how Welker doesn't end up in the top 5, perfect example the Hoodie said they were going to run on the bills yet Brady throws for 350 yards and Welker gets 200 of that. Brady and Welker seem to have some special telepathy. The Ocho affect was definately the reason why people slept on him , in my auction pool Cap of $17 Ocho went for 1.90 Welker .30cents

IT was the Ocho effect.

Much higher in competitive leagues. 4th round, 3rd in PPR.

I'm putting a voodoo hex on Welker for torching me this week, so be prepared for him to get a mysterious case of massive diarrhea. Sorry Welker owners, but I'm afraid the only yards he gets this week will be from running to the toilet.

I went back and looked. Got him in the 8th round. It's actually a pretty competitive 12 team league, $100 buy-in. The draft took place right after got carted off during the pre-season game, and I think this scared a lot of owners off.

Drafted him in every league but one (traded Colston and Lynch for him pre week 1), in one of my really competitive 10 team 2 keeper league I blew up my draft trading my 2nd and 4th round picks for ADP and traded Peterson for CJ2K +the first pick of the 6th round (clearly not paying off) but after sitting through 5 rounds and only getting 2 players there was Wes, 3rd pick in the 5th round - Beautiful.

Thank you Wes! You and Brady have single handedly won me 2 games this year.... amazing stuff.

This guy could easily finish #1WR in ppr at this rate.

Got him at 5.4 in my 12-man league and 8.7 in my 8-man league. Steal.

Snagged him at 11.03 in my draft and boy of boy was it worth it. Everyone was passing him cause they figured he'd be injured for a big part of the season. Took a chance and I've gotten two wins almost strictly on his hands so far. Enjoying every minute of it and hope him and Brady keep up pace.

i have heard that unintentional Studsism is a growing epidemicI got brady in the 1st and welker in the 4th of a 6 point passing TD PPR league

I would do intimate things to Mr Welker if he asked me to.

 
Hate to be a naysayer, I just don't see this level of production sustainable all year for Welker. If he were like Calvin and grabbing touchdowns all day that just seems less wear and tear on the body than 31/458 through 3 games. Granted he is getting red zone love as well, but the cuts this guy makes needs to be taken into account. A freak yes, but Superman, no.

I don't think it's unreasonable to suggest that a pace of 165/2,442 is unsustainable. But over 100 receptions is easily doable, much like Welker did from 07-09. And last year he had 86 rec in 15 games coming off less than a year from an ACl tear. If he finishes with 120/1300 that's still a pace of 6 catches for 60 some odd yards for the next 13 games. PPR gold.

I don't think it makes you a naysayer to suggest Welker isn't going to sustain 160/2400/21 pace.But damn, it's a fun ride while he's on it.

Over 100 I can see, he is already 30% there! But 165 receptions as you suggest, as I said, he's not Superman. Knowing the Chick, he'll get run into the ground before then. Just be prepared later down the stretch is all I'm saying.
 
i laugh when i hear these people say where welker went in their "competitive" leagues....5th, 6th, 7th rounds. If people knew what the he@@ they were doing he never would have lasted that long in ppr leagues.

My league is not PPR and he went in the 8th, to me. And it is a competitive league.
 
Just missed him in one...5th round, a d got him in the other...4th round. Pretty much the most dAngerous fantasy wr short of andre johnson. Seems uncoverable on some routes. It'll be interesting to see what happens when they cut 85 and bring moss back.

There is no stopping Welker. His floor this week is 10 catches, 140 yards, 2 tds. No one is equipped to stay with him in the Oakland secondary. :excited:

Awww....someone got a zero from Branch last week. This is the Welker appreciation, not the 'throw to the other receivers' thread. :banned:
 
I took him at the 3/4 turn picking 12th in a 12 team league. I recieved some snickers from the fellow owners mocking the pick; HA! Suck it #####es. His 56.1 points put me over the top this week and won me the money. Welker and Megatron give me a hell of a WR corp. I also had Gronkowski going! Put up a league high 189 points this week thanks to Welker.

Welker is a fricken animal. Him and Brady have some sort of mind-meld going on between them which makes them unstoppable. I am a Bills fan and was at the game Sunday; a little unbelievable how he managed to continue to get open time after time. He is the best slot WR in the NFL without a doubt. Everyone in the stadium knew they were going to him on that huge 4th down in the 4th quarter and he still managed to get open and convert.

I would not trade him for anybody at this point. He has the best QB in the NFL throwing him the ball and is the centerpiece of the Patriots offense.

 
Anti-Pats fan here.

Tom Brady and Wes Welker are amazing players. Welker has an uncanny ability to get open and almost never drops a pass. It's hard to believe how easy these guys make it look.

This is absurd. You can't tell me 11 guys (or 9 or 7) all thought the same way on Welker and passed on him. That's pretty JV.
 
In Anarchy League 5 on this site I had 1st pick 16 teams. Scoring is a little goofy and you have team QBs.

1.01 NE team QB - took some balls here to make that call, most were thinking GB or PHI

2.16 DET team QB - both QBs count and shored up the position

3.01 Wes Welker - figured PPR with Brady-Welker could be fun, has been so far

:popcorn:

How long before people start talking about Wes being in the HOF?

As much as I love Welker, I think he has a long way to go before he garners serious HOF consideration. He'll need at least 4 more solid seasons to even get in Rod Smith/Jimmy Smith territory, and I think we can all agree both of those guys, while very good, are not headed to Canton. I think it'll take at least 6 more seasons of 90+-1000+-7+ before he becomes worthy of consideration over the likes of those two. And even at that point, the only area where he'll be likely to have a significant advantage will be in receptions. And let's not forget that he is greatly aided by the era in which he is playing (not to mention his QB/system)--neither of the Smiths played in such a passer friendly league (even toward the end of their respective careers, the league was still not where it is today in terms of passing numbers). So, in order for him to get in, I think he'll have to string together two or three crazy seasons to the tune of 120-1500-10 and follow those up with a few 90-1000-7 seasons to finish his career. Possible? Yes. Likely? I don't think. Let's revisit this in four years.
