Chris Chambers' dynasty outlook (1 Viewer)

[mcintyre1]

He's getting a little older, but he's still in the prime age range for a WR. Unfortunately, no Chargers WR has really been a quality fantasy starter. Does anyone think he has the talent to change that?

I guess maybe I'll try to get the ball rolling... I think he had 10 targets last week and caught 4. I would expect this number to improve over time as he becomes accustomed to his new QB. He's also got the speed to stretch the field a bit. I think he'll see lots of success with the Chargers.

Sorry. I just dropped him to pick up a spare kicker going into the playoffs.

I started him his first week with the Chargers but Rivers has been in free fall since.

8th year in the league and he has exceeded 1,000 yards once... even though he was the primary receiving option in Miami. San Diego hasn't been WR heaven either. Will he be OK? Sure. But I might look elsewhere for dynasty options. Maybe somebody with a higher ceiling.

To be more clear... I'm not talking WR1 potential here. I'm using him as a WR3/4 depending on the day.

If you have him rostered as your #4 in dynasty that sounds about right to me but I'd personally rather have him as a #5. To me, his ceiling isn't as high as some other #3-4 WR's out there right now (Brandon Marshall, Calvin Johnson, Cotchery and Hackett to name a few).

I wouldn't. Chambers' catch% over his career-2001- 53%

2002- 52%

2003- 49%

2004- 50%

2005- 49%

2006- 39%

2007- 48%

Basically, if he gets targeted 10 times and catches more than 4 or 5 balls, you should be shocked.

Maybe so, but this is the first time he's been out of Miami, a team that has had major struggles at the QB position in all of those years. Not to say that Rivers is a whole lot better than any of the QBs Chambers had throwing to him in Miami, but in his limited career so far he has been slightly above average in accuracy. I'll just say that I'm hopeful.

Chris Chambers caught passes from 10 different QBs, and his catch% stunk with every one. Last year, Booker caught 61% of his passes from the same QBs, while Welker caught a sterling 67%. Chambers managed 37%. Randy Moss, Rod Smith, and Ed McCaffrey have all posted solid catch%s with Gus Frerotte at the helm.Basically, there are a million different variables in Chambers career that all produced constant results, which means it's probably a result of the only thing that has remained constant in Chambers career- and that's Chris Chambers himself. At this point, there are no excuses left. There is simply too overwhelming a body of evidence.
