Player Notes

January 30, 2009
Wes Welker commented on new quarterbacks coach Bill O'Brien, according to the Boston Herald. Welker said, "He works his tail off. He is a film rat. He is constantly in the film room. He understands the game. He understands our offense. He has been a great fit for us in what he wants to bring to the table."

Our View:O'Brien looks to benefit quarterback Tom Brady and the Patriots' aerial attack in 2009. O'Brien would help Matt Cassel improve as well, if he remains with the club.

January 29, 2009
Wes Welker is feeling great and spent part of the last month training, according to the Boston Globe. The 5-9, 185 pound receiver intends to return to Foxborough in mid-to-late March for the off-season program and he said, "I enjoy training and I have been able to train and get ready, as opposed to nursing anything, so it has been nice."

Our View:Welker only scored three touchdowns in 2008, but still enjoyed a good campaign with 111 receptions for 1,165 yards. He should remain a solid fantasy option for 2009, especially with a healthy return of elite quarterback Tom Brady.

December 24, 2008
Wes Welker was fined $10,000 on Wednesday for making a snow angel on Sunday to celebrate scoring a touchdown, according to ESPN. Welker was also penalized on the play for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Our View:Merry Christmas from the no fun league! It's unclear if Welker will appeal the fine or not.

December 21, 2008
Wide receiver Wes Welker reeled in seven balls for 68 yards and a touchdown in the Week 16 victory over Arizona.

Our View:That's two straight weeks with a touchdown for Welker, who has posted 6+ receptions 13 times this season.

December 14, 2008
Wes Welker caught his second touchdown of the season on Sunday in the Patriots 49-26 win over the Raiders. He caught six passes for 69 yards.

Our View:Welker now has 102 catches on the season and continues to be an excellent source of points in PPR leagues.
