625_740nm Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 ??? i predicted he would do better as cassells #1 option, but hes looked mediocre so far. do you think there will be improvement after the bye? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTed46 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Welker remains the same..I would bump up Moss for now as I think he would benefit from the bye more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belushi Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 He'll be likely Welker from his Miami days - lots of catches for not many yards and few TD's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I wouldn't give up on him yet. I think you're going to see a Patriots team after the bye that relies heavily on the run and short/quick passes, which Welker is usually the biggest beneficiary of. Cassell simply doesn't have the skill set to be able to do the same things as Brady. As the season goes on, I would not be surprised at all to see them run more and more, to keep their defense off the field (keeps them fresh and more effective), and use Welker as their go-to guy again when they need those critical first-downs in the middle of a drive. He won't match last year, but in a PPR league especially, he'll still get you 4-5 catches per game, minimum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrTed46 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 He was targeted 10,11,7 and caught 6,7,6 catched week 1 - 3. I wouldnt be complaining about those #s especially early on in Cassels season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
