The Facts:
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Leon Washington will take visit Foxboro on Thursday. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers also have shown interest in the former Seahawks running back, but the visit is a strong sign Washington could return to the AFC East (Washington's career started with the New York Jets). Also visiting the Patriots on Thursday: Former Buffalo Bills wide receiver Donald Jones, according to Tim Graham of The Buffalo News.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The New England Patriots have a plan to replace wide receiver Wes Welker.
It starts with Danny Amendola, but it's not going to end there. Welker, who returned punts for the Patriots, agreed to
a two-year deal with the Denver Broncos on Wednesday. Washington might be in line to take over Welker's returner role for the Patriots. Meanwhile, Jones would add some needed depth to a thin wide receiver crew. As NFL.com's Gregg Rosenthal suggests, with the Welker drama over, the Patriots have a lot of work left to do with their roster. It sounds like they'll start with the return game and the wide receiver depth chart.
