let's play worst-case hypothetical, and assume Wes is done for the season. Obviously, no one wants that, but the probability of it happening is >0 so it's something to consider.
What will the impact be on our passing game?
I have my first Fantasy football draft coming up in 4 hours or so, I need a better handle on what happens here.
With Welker, here is what I had projected:
Demaryius Thomas 90 1350 12
Wes Welker 75 825 8
Emmanuel Sanders 60 780 6
Andre Caldwell 15 190 1
Cody Latimer 15 190 1
Julius Thomas 76 933 11
Jacob Tamme 13 135 1
Virgil Green 12 165 1
this represents a slight decrease in passing numbers, coinciding with a stronger running game. Welker is a big chunk of this, obviously. If he is out, what happens?
I'm thinking Sanders slides into the slot. Who gets first looks at the other WR position? we all hope it's Latimer, but history (Fox's history with rookies) tells us that Caldwell would be the primary beneficiary. Either way, Caldwell or Latimer are severely underrated.
If Welker is out for a significant amount of time, someone will pick up the slack and whomever it is will pay huge dividends.
