Fantasy Upside
In limited action last season, the veteran finished with 16 receptions for 200 yards and scored three times. After playing in only eight games in ’12, Andre Caldwell participated in each contest last season. He averaged 12.5 yards per grab and 11 of his receptions resulted in a first down.
Downside
Bubba is 29 and could be near the end of his career. With newcomers Emmanuel Sanders and Cody Latimore in the Broncos rotation now, Caldwell will likely be used sparingly again. He was targeted only 30 times last year and two of his three scores occurred in a Week 15 loss to the Chargers – a game in which Wes Welker was inactive.
Bottom Line
Since his rookie season in ’08, Caldwell has registered three TDs in a season every other year – with scores coming during the odd years. Andre will provide good leadership to the younger Broncos WRs, but is not going to put up big numbers as he just won’t be on the field that much. He is not worth a roster spot in any fantasy league.
