- 4 Comment
WR Chris Chambers, Miami Dolphins
2005 Stats: 82 receptions, 1118 receiving yards, 11 TDs
Projected 2006 Stats: 91 receptions, 1244 receiving yards, 14 TDs
Projected Fantasy Round: 4th round
Wide Receivers to be Picked ahead of Chris Chambers: Steve Smith, Marvin Harrison, Terrell Owens, etc.
Fantasy Outlook:
Why should you draft Chris Chambers: In his five year career, Chambers has missed only two games. Last season, he had three games with multiple touchdowns and eight games where he had at least five receptions. In Week 13, he torched the Buffalo Bills for 15 catches and 238 yards receiving.
Why you may want to stay away from drafting Chris Chambers: Chambers had seven games where he was held to 50 yards receiving or less, and had eight contests without a touchdown.
Bottom Line: Chambers is starting to be recognized as one of the better NFL wide receivers, and his stats should increase significantly with the arrival of Daunte Culpepper. Chambers should be viewed as a No.1 Wide receiver in fantasy, and he would be a steal if you landed him past the fourth round.

Chambers is a dog, lacks consistant effort, doesn’t have that aspect that makes a great player great – avoid drafting him as a someone to count on.

Alan,
I will agree with you that Chambers has been very up and down in his career. However, he has never played for a quarterback as good as Daunte Culpepper. Culpepper can get him the ball, which magically will make Chambers and players like him, better players. Thank you for the comment.

It really depends on which Culpepper shows up. Don’t forget how awful he was playing prior to his injury last season.

Analyzer,
You make a great point that Culpepper did struggle last season. However, I think many of his struggles were caused by not having Randy Moss as a receiver. Don’t get me wrong, I think Culpepper can play well without Moss, but let’s not forget that with Moss, Culpepper could just toss the ball up for grabs at times and Moss would come down with the deep ball. I think Culpepper tried to throw the ball into traffic and without Moss being there to come down with it, the passes were getting picked off. I think Culpepper will have learned from that and benefit from the change of scenery. I also think Chambers is a player than can catch the ball in traffic and be a great option for Culpepper. We will see what transpires. Thank you for the comment.
