Sharrod Wellingham started off 2010 like a house on fire. His Dream Team and Supercoach averages for the first six games were 98.1 and 98 respectively. For a starting price tags of $286,200 (DT) and $365,400 (SC), those averages were fantastic for his owners, netting them a hefty profit. A lot of coaches thought that he would be this year’s Bernie Vince: have a low starting price, then spike up into premium contention.
But then a calf injury hit. He sat out rounds 7 and 8, and has come back into a Collingwood team that is not playing anywhere near as well as they did rounds 1-8, and his scoring has suffered. Since his return his DT/SC averages have been 51.8 and 42 - big, big drops in the grand scheme of things, that have resulted in big drops in his price.
He hasn’t looked the same since he came back. He’s lost confidence and touch, so it’s best to avoid for the rest of 2010…but not 2011
