Fantasy Football Mock: Round 5

50. Wes Welker, WR - NE. Coming off surgery on his torn left ACL/MCL, Welker is seeking his fourth straight 100+ catch season in four years in New England. His recovery seems ridiculously fast, and his 39-yard grab vs. St. Louis on Aug. 26th has me thinking he'll be ready to go by Sept. 12th. He may not be at full speed by Week 1, and may fall short of 100 receptions, but if he progresses steadily, could be a fantasy force in the second half.

49. Jahvid Best, RB - DET. Kevin Smith's slow return from knee surgery vaults Best's stock even higher. Oddly, the concern about Jahvid isn't his address, but his history of getting nicked up. At 5'10"/200, he's a load for a guy with his speed and elusiveness. He should be the main event in the Lions' ground game, and if he stays healthy could make a very rewarding fifth-round pick.

48. Felix Jones, RB - DAL. Felix is the gamebreaker in the Cowboys' running attack, and while he'll yield goalline carries to MB3, he has the ability to score on any play, and should be drafted for his upside.

47. Ronnie Brown, RB - MIA. Brown has had an injury-marred career, and is now coming back off a Lisfranc fracture to his foot. It's a platoon in Miami, and I'm betting on Ricky Williams putting together the more consistent season.

46. Beanie Wells, RB - AZ. Beanie was a beast down the stretch last year, and the Cards will need to run the ball with D.A. at QB. He's a big back with speed who will lose catches but not goalline carries to Tim Hightower.

45. Arian Foster, RB - HOU. Thanks to an injury to Ben Tate and Steve Slaton's stalled progress, Foster has been able to parley two strong games at the end of last season into the starting gig in Houston. Sometimes in fantasy opportunity outweighs talent, Foster is out to prove he has both.

44. Ricky Williams, RB - MIA. The more productive of Miami's two-headed monster carried owners down the stretch last year. While he's less likely to throw a touchdown than running mate Ronnie Brown, he's a better bet to stay healthy, and rack up more yardage and touchdowns again this year.

43. Tony Gonzalez, TE - ATL. Until further notice, Tony Gonzalez is still a top-tier tight end. T-Gon represents the last chance for owners who really want to differentiate themselves at the position.

42. Jermichael Finley, TE, GB. Coming into 2010 as the Packers' starting tight end has Jermike rated 4th at his position, and ahead of walking hall-of-famer Tony Gonzalez. Rodgers is accurate and can stay on his feet, which will give his biggest target time to work down the field even more this year.

41. Jason Witten, TE - DAL. After Dallas and Antonio have gone, there are only a few more options to get a draft-pick-worthy tight end. Witten is the third-best option at the position this year, is consistent and can be counted on to deliver some monster weeks. Take Romo's roomie and don't look back.
