Bull Market 
Wes Welker, WR, New England Patriots

Yes Welker is far from a waiver wire sleeper. Welker is a guy who is coming off a serious knee injury last year but even after last week’s performance some owners may still have a little uncertainty. Point being, your time to make a trade for him is quickly running out. 

Anyway, with NE playing the NYJ this week, and Randy Moss already booking his cruise to Revis Island, its gonna be Welker’s luck to get Antonio Cromartie and Kyle Wilson.  Football fans remember those two who were burned by every pass catcher on the Baltimore roster, including one particularly depressing moment where Cromartie was beaten deep down the field by Todd Heap.  Considering Welker has thrashed the Jets to the tune of 461 yards on 38 catches, its not exactly a secret the Jets haven’t found an answer for Wes.  I project six catches, 97 yards and one TD this week and for the season 98 catches for 1000 yards and eight TDs.

Bear Market
Nate Washingotn, WR, Tennessee Titans

Look, I don’t hate Nate Washington.  I don’t know the man.  I do know that he is a tremendous deep threat and is a possible number one guy in Tennessee. Why the hate then?  Because Nate Washington plays on a team that is going to run the ball as often as possible, and has two other mediocre WR (Justin Gage and Kenny Britt) who can double as the Titans best pass catcher.  In fact, I will tell you flat out that by the end of the year, Washington will be the number two player on this team in big plays (Chris Johnson will need to shatter every bone in his leg to be not number one), but will be the number one guy in letting your team down if you are counting too heavily on him.

The Titans are playing Pittsburgh this week, and it wasn’t a strong homecoming for Nate last year as he was held to one reception for eight yards.  This year won’t be that bad.  Pittsburgh will be preoccupied with stopping the run, so look for Nate to have three catches, 31 yards and zero trips to the end zone.  For the season, you can expect 45 catches, 600 yards, and five TDs.  Like I said, its not that he can’t have big weeks for you, it just probably won’t be consistent.
