Positives - Chambers has all the skills to be an elite NFL WR. All that is missing is a serviceable QB. I holding out hope that Frerotte is the missing link or possibly another year of seasoning for AJ Feeley makes a difference. While Chambers’ schedule isn’t soft in 2005, it won’t be the brutal one the Dolphins faced in 2004.

Negatives - Chambers is frequently found more regularly on the back of a milk carton then appearing on ESPN’s Prime Time. Elite WRs should be a factor more often then Chambers is. Fortunately I won’t have to pick which weeks to start him in this format and can cover his absences with depth at the WR position.

Draft Strategy - I really liked Deion Branch better at this spot, but his bye matched Smith’s and I thought he would still be around when I drafted five picks later. My plan was to grab Chambers and slough Branch to the next round; unfortunately Mikey T caused that to blow up in my face.
