Chris Chambers (1 Viewer)

I have been reading that many people feel that Chris Chambers is a good buy low candidate. I was thinking of going after him for some WR help but after looking at his numbers I just don't know what to expect. I don't see the Dolphins play so all I can really look at is statistics. Here are his seasonal numbers...

2001 48-883-7

2002 52-734-3

2003 64-963-11

2004 69-898-7

2005 82-1118-11

2006 59-677-4

Looking at this it is hard to peg him for anything more than 70-950-7. I know I have read he was really high in targets last season but that did not translate into catches. What do others think he will approximate for numbers next year?

65-750-7

I think he is a good buy low candidate. I never ever felt he was anywhere near the Top 10 WR as many pegged last year, but I wouldn't have a problem with him as my #3 WR.

 

[Weiner Dog]

He's a #2 receiver being covered by his opponent's #1 CB. Sprinkle in an unsettled QB position and you have the makings of another average season by Chambers.

 

[Alluro]

Chambers peaked in 2005..I don't see him ever approaching those numbers again

I'm not sure what to think about Chambers any longer. I used to be fairly high on him... I like his physical tools. I think he still has solid upside, and might (possibly) end up being a decent value pick if he slips in your draft, but realistically my guess for him at this date would be about 800 yards and 6 TDs. I don't know where many are ranking him currently, so I can't back up the possibility of him being a value pick... just a thought I had.

I guess the real question is how healthy will Culpepper be this year. If he is 100% healthy, I can see Chambers being his quasi-Moss. Chambers could be in for a solid year. But I dont how Culpepper is doing right now

Depends on the QB... until we know who's starting, projections for Chambers aren't worth much.

That and he drops more passes than almost anyone. Look at his stats. Last year his targets to receptions percentage was 48%.

With a gimpy Culpepper and Joey freaking Harrington throwing the deep balls, Randy Moss in his prime couldn't have done much better. A ball that sails 10+ yards over your head is considered a target....I predict Chambers scores 9 or 10 TDs in 2007 to go along with 900-1000 yards. But 2-3 TDs and 150-200 of those yards will come in a single game. No a bad guy to plug at WR#3 every week and hope for the best. He's the cheaper version of Lee Evans IMO.

good excuse except for the fact that Welker and Booker had MUCH more successful seasons catching the ball . . .

Name Target Catch %

Chambers 39%

Welker 67%

Booker 61%

I agree completely. But I think this is precisely why he's a buy low candidate. There's so much uncertainty surrounding him (and the Phins for that matter) that his owner might just want to get out from under him asap.

Weren't most of Welker's catches short ones while they went deep more often to Chambers? Chambers definately drops too many balls, but it's tough to compare a deep threat to a possession guy cause the deeper balls are usually lower percentage.

It's looking to be Trent Green.

 

[Shooter McGavin]

Is he looking at any punishment for his DUI?

Worst possible QB for Chambers IMHO...No arm strength means no long balls which is his forte.They talked about putting him in the slot more this year,but so far in TC and 2 preseason games he has been virtually invisble(2006 rewind)...Buyer beware from a Fin's homer

I was all set to take Chambers as my #4wr (which wouldn't be all that bad) but Stallworth was on the board so I was torn. When I read your thread I took a look at the play by play of the Fins so far this preseason. Green has not thrown a pass to Chambers in the last 2 games. Not even an incompletion. Maybe it is time for us to just all realize he just isn't that good and his one great year was kinda flukey? Maybe he just isn't open. Way too many QBs ignoring him and there has to be a reason. Besides everyone thinking the QBs hate fantasy football owners.

 

[Bruno Tataglia]

That O has the potential to be a total mess. I'll pass.

 

[Couch Potato]

Current Chambers projections from two FBGers and three other well known sites (some of it is pay so I won't say which comes from where):

65-835-6

66-870-5

74-949-7

76-1074-7

68-898-6

Average = 70-925-6

That puts him at about WR 27-28 for both PPR and non-PPR rankings.

Anyone know this? Or was it resolved without punishment?

 

[Spiderman]

I think his season will be determined by Trent Green's consistentcy. I'm not sure if it was Herm Edwards offense, the concussion, or both, but Green did not play well last season. If he is able to stay healthy, and get comfortable in the offense, this will definitely help Chambers as Miami has not had really steady QB play of late.
