He's been slowly getting phased out once Hernandez started producing last year and then this year when Elderman was given the priority (before he was mostly Welker's backup spot). Welker also got "exposed" once Moss left since teams just focused on him knowing he gets the priority passes from Brady before the formation shift last year.
The main formation now is a base-2 TE set instead of the 3-4 WR set like in the past.
For fantasy purposes, I'd consider taking Elderman by Week 4 if he gets more passes again instead of Welker against Baltimore.
