The wide receiver position has never been more important to the game of football. With teams taking the the air more and more, and with quarterbacks signing huge contracts, the guys that catch all those passes are taking center stage in the NFL with some of the sport's most gifted athletes at the front of the pack.

Less: Welker? Wes Welker is thirty-one years old and has made his mark in the NFL by being one of the premier slot receivers in a pass heavy offense led by quarterback, Tom Brady.

What's Up With Wes Welker? Brady's Binkie Limited In Opener

Tom Brady Doesn't Think Wes Welker's Decreased Role Against Titans Is An Issue

What I’m planning on doing is not giving you sleepers or irrational predictions, but rather taking a look at who did not live up to expectations.

Hop On Board The Welk-ome Wagon, Wes

Oh week one, you have to be one of the greatest weeks to trade for an underperforming star.  Wes Welker turned in a complete clunker of a game vs the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, going for 3 catches on 5 targets for 14 yards and in very un-Welker like fashion topped it off by dropping a pass on what would’ve been a sure first down.  He’s the buzz of the week in terms of fantasy...
