WR Chris Chambers (Mia) Highest Ranking: #8 by Chris
Smith This season, the Dolphins have a running threat with Ricky Williams lining up in the backfield and Fiedler is another year wiser. Chambers was good as a rookie and is ready to become great this season. The fact is he is the Dolphins only big-time receiving threat and he will have a bunch of balls thrown his way in 2002. He will be thought of as one of the biggest steals in this year's fantasy drafts so target picking him up in round 4. He had 30 receptions for 553 yards and 7 touchdowns over the final 9 games last year. Pretty good for a rookie receiver and those numbers will be even stronger. Lowest Rankings: #26 by Dave Shick Other factors dragging Chambers down on my lists are McNight and Gadsden. I won't be surprised if any of the three leads Miami in catches. I expect Chambers to score some long TDs this year and also lead the team in yardage, but if all three of the Miami WRs stay healthy none of them will be #1 or even #2 WRs on your fantasy roster. The last strike against Chambers is Jay Fiedler. If he had a more consistent passer on his team I would push up my list quite a bit. Who would feel comfortable with Fiedler as their starting fantasy QB? He doesn't play in a system that's going to allow for huge games by his WRs week in and week out. Miami will be grinding it out and winning with their defense. |
