5 Players With Crazy Touchdown Potential in 2014
With fantasy football scoring skewed so heavily towards touchdowns, these five players can bring you home championships this year.

Wes Welker, WR, Denver Broncos

When thinking of dominant red zone and goal-line receivers, folks' first thoughts are usually big-bodied wide receivers and tight ends. While Wes Welker doesn't fit the mold, he is among the best in these situations.

In 2013, Welker led all Broncos - and was second in the league - with 10 targets on the goal line. The Broncos second most-targeted receiver on the goal line was Eric Decker, whose departure leaves nine of these targets unaccounted for in Denver.

Welker ranked third last year in touchdown rate (touchdowns/targets) on the goal line, and is fifth over the last two years. As long as the Broncos offense keeps getting to the goal line, Welker will keep racking up touchdowns.
