</TD></TR><TR><TD class=bodyCopy>Wes Welker says he is faster now than he was before tearing his ACL in January of 2010.</TD></TR><TR><TD>

</TD></TR><TR><TD class=vaLink>Welker made a miraculous return last season, proving his health right out of the gate in Week 1 and catching 86 balls. Now another year removed from his surgery, there are no questions. "I feel like I've gained a step from two years ago. This is the best I've felt in a long time," Welker said. The game's premier slot receiver is a strong bet to push for 90-plus catches again this season.

"Yeah, I'm OK," said Welker. The slot machine caught three passes for 71 yards, including a 44-yard touchdown, before exiting for the night as a precaution. Welker was spotted without a neck brace, and the fact that the Patriots let him speak to the media is a strong indication that he'll be back to 100 percent shortly. Draft him as you normally would.

</TD></TR><TR><TD class=bodyCopy>Wes Welker (neck) said Tuesday that he feels good and it is up to the coaches if he plays in Thursday's preseason finale.</TD></TR><TR><TD>

</TD></TR><TR><TD class=vaLink>Welker apparently hasn't been cleared by doctors after jamming his neck on a tackle Saturday night. We wouldn't expect to see him Thursday, but there's no real concern here for fantasy owners. It sounds like Welker just had some kind of stinger. Starters don't play in the preseason finale, anyhow.
