The San Diego Chargers have traded for WR Chris Chambers from the Miami Dolphins, and the Dolphins will reportedly receive a 2nd round draft pick in return.
This will definitely help the Chargers WR group as Vincent Jackson wasn't standing out as a #1 WR, and the team had few quality alternatives behind him. Chambers will give Phillip Rivers another quality option in the passing game, and should help Rivers' development. He's definitely the fastest WR the Chargers now have.
Fantasy Impact: Believe it or not, this slightly hurts Chambers' value. He's obviously moving to a better offense with a better QB, but instead of being the go-to guy in the passing game like he was in Miami, he'll now share that role with Gates on the Chargers offense. The Chargers are still very much a run-first offense. This also hurts Vincent Jackson as Jackson definitely drops to WR4 value. Chambers should still be a fairly solid WR3 on a good offense, but it might take him a week or two to acclimate. If you can find someone in your league that thinks this is a boon to Chambers' value, deal him.
