Chris Chambers - WR - Dolphins


Chris Chambers will benefit greatly from the acquisition of Daunte Culpepper.Miami's offense already called plenty of "throw it deep to Chris and hope for the best" plays.

Dolphins acquired Daunte Culpepper for a 2006 second-round draft pick after Culpepper successfully passed his physical Wednesday.Culpepper has told the Dolphins he is ahead of schedule in his rehab and "may be able to play before September."
