The Facts:
Even if Welker still harbors mixed feelings about his early season benching last September, it seems premature to write his ticket out of New England. According to SI.com's Peter King, it's "widely believed" that Welker is "staying in New England."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
At several positions, NFL teams have been telling agents that they will settle for a lesser player if their client doesn't take what is being offered. As NFL.com's Chris Wesseling notes, with Danny Amendola and Julian Edelman also available as slot receivers, Welker could find a depressed market for his services. Unable to swing Dwayne Bowe money, Wesseling agrees with King's suggestion that it's a good bet that Welker will realize that returning to the Patriots is his best option.
