According to BostonHerald.com, Patriots WR Wes Welker didn't just suffer a torn ACL last season, he also suffered a torn rotator cuff.
FFX Fantasy Takes:
Smitty: A timetable for his overall recovery is now extremely unclear. The ACL injury alone was an opening day obstacle, but now it's thought that Welker could be out through October or even November. This timetable is merely speculation, as we still don't know exactly when Welker suffered the rotator cuff injury. As we learn more, we will adjust our timetable estimates for all of you. While this isn't great news for Tom Brady owners, Julian Edelman should step right in and produce strong fantasy numbers. It's possible Brady doesn't miss a beat. After all, keep in mind that 2009 was Brady's first year back from ACL surgery. He will likely have a much stronger 2010 fantasy season, even with Welker missing some time. It's tough to say how the absence of Welker early on in 2010 would affect Randy Moss. It can be said that Welker helps keep defenses from doubling Moss all the time, but then again, Moss will be seeing more targets and he will be playing for a new deal this upcoming season (even if elsewhere). If healthy in 2010, honestly I could see Moss having one of those 100 reception, 1,300+ and 15TD seasons.
According to Pro Football Talk, a recent rumor suggests that RB LaDainian Tomlinson "will, in fact, sign with the Jets." PFT emphasizes that this should be filed under "rumor" rather than "report" as of the moment.
FFX Fantasy Takes:
Smitty: Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum and coach Rex Ryan are doing all that they can to get LaDainian Tomlinson in a Jets' uniform. LT2 is also considering signing with the Vikings. Either signing would surely hurt that team's current starter, but more so in Shonn Greene's case. Granted, Greene is the rusher of the future for that Jets organization, but let's be honest, no fantasy owners wants LT2 backing up their rusher. AP could use some time off in order to stay healthy, but Shonn Greene is just getting going. LT2 may have struggled in 2009, but on 10-12 carries per game, he could stay healthy all year long in 2010, which will cut into Greene's workload. We still love Shonn Greene in 2010 and beyond, regardless of what happens here, but it's a bit unrealistic to think that LT2 landing in New York is a good thing at all for Greene owners (especially given how much they want him there - That means they want to use him).
According to reports, the Browns have signed TE Ben Watson to a three-year, $12 million dollar deal with $6.35 million in guarantees.
FFX Fantasy Takes:
Smitty: Evan Moore had some decent sleeper value before this signing. Moore still could emerge, but Ben Watson is a solid TE. Will he stay healthy though? Will that Cleveland passing attack be able to feed him the rock?
