Chiefs claim Chris Chambers through waivers

In 2007, the Miami Dolphins traded wide receiver Chris Chambers to San Diego for a second-round pick. As the Dolphins turned that pick into starting quarterback Chad Henne, Chambers was supposed to give the Chargers the weapon on the outside that they didn't have. Well, that weapon later became Vincent Jackson and Chambers has been nothing but a bust in his time in Southern California. In 2.5 seasons with the Chargers, Chambers never had a 100-yard game and is reaching new lows in 2009. After recording just nine catches this season, he was waived Monday. He wasn't out of work long as he was claimed off waivers by the Kansas City Chiefs on Tuesday.

Fantasy Analysis:
Chambers may not have much of a role with the Chiefs, but if he does, he will be fighting for looks alongside Bobby Engram, Bobby Wade, Mark Bradley and Dwayne Bowe. It is hard to trust any wide receiver with Matt Cassel at quarterback. No matter, you shouldn't want any part of Chambers. Either keep him on your league's free agent market or drop him now (what's taken you so long?). This isn't a move that improves Chambers' fantasy value, which will never again come close to what it was when he was viewed as a No. 1 fantasy wide receiver in 2005-06. In 31 games with San Diego, Chambers caught just 77 passes for 1,139 yards and 10 touchdowns.
