The Facts:
Welker has kept a low profile since suffering a concussion on Dec. 8, his second head injury in a three-week span. The WR ended his self-imposed silence during a Thursday interview with The Denver Post. "It took a little bit of time," Welker said. "Even when I felt I was 100 percent, looking back you weren't 100 percent."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Welker added: "It's always a tricky injury and just trying to manage it and everything else, but the doctors and trainers did a great job of just doing the things necessary to get me back out on the field. ..." Welker was cleared for football activities this week and will make his return when the Broncos begin their playoff run in next week's divisional round. The game will be played on Jan. 12, meaning the wide receiver will go more than a month between games. As NFL.com suggests, Welker's playing future could come into question if he suffers another concussion, a real possibility considering his position, size, and violent nature of his profession. But for now, the concern is a Super Bowl title.
