Pats place Welker, two others on active PUP list

Football Betting Lines

07/27/2010 - Foxboro, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New England Patriots on Tuesday placed wide receiver Wes Welker and two others on the active/physically unable to perform list.

Welker, who sustained season-ending ACL and MCL injuries to his left knee late last year, has apparently recovered from off-season reconstructive surgery. However, according to two Boston newspapers, Pats head coach Bill Belichick was hedging his bets. Instead of being placed on the regular PUP list, Welker can come off the active list at any time.

It was a bitter end to 2009 for Welker, who collected a career-bests with 123 catches and 1,348 yards with four touchdowns in 14 games last season.

Since breaking into the NFL with San Diego in 2004, the Texas Tech product has racked up 442 receptions for 4,809 yards and 16 TDs over 93 games with the Chargers, Dolphins and Patriots.

Third-year linebacker Shawn Crable and rookie defensive lineman Kade Weston were also placed on the active/PUP list.

The 2009 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds have been released and Denver Broncos' running back Knowshon Moreno has been made the opening favorite.

Bet NFL Sports Lines

Moreno was selected in the first round of April's NFL draft and is expected to carry the rushing load for the Broncos this season. And with Jay Cutler now in Chicago, Moreno might be expected to be Denver's entire offense.

Betting Lines from sports betting lines have made Moreno a 5/2 favorite to win this year's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Fellow running back Chris “Beanie” Wells (Arizona Cardinals) is right behind Moreno at 7/2, while Donald Brown (Indianapolis Colts) and receiver Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers) are 5/1 to win. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) and Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions) are 7/1 and 8/1, respectively.

A couple of players who present some value are Josh Freeman, Shonn Green and Darrius Heyward-Bey.

Freeman needs to beat out Byron Leftwich to become the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but if he does, he has a lot or raw talent and could use the weapons around him (i.e. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Antonio Bryant) to be very successful in his first season.

Green enters a crowded backfield in New York, but considering both Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are unhappy about their contract situations and might holdout, the former Iowa product could become the Jets' primary back.

Everyone was shocked when Al Davis took Heyward-Bey with the eighth overall pick in April's draft, but the kid has a tremendous amount of talent and if quarterback JaMarcus Russell takes the next step this year, the former Maryland product could blossom. Plus, Heyward-Bey will be looking to prove the people wrong who said Oakland should have taken Michael Crabtree with the No. 8 pick.

And if you're looking for a deep sleeper, check out Pat White at 30/1. He enters the Miami Dolphins vaunted “Wild Cat” offense and could be a big time playmaker.
