Is Bess the new Camarillo?

From the same people who brought you Lance Moore, but didn't expect him to be remotely as good as he is, we humbly submit Dolphins receiver Devone Bess for your roster consideration. Bess is an undrafted rookie, which is rarely profitable in fantasy leagues, but it's clear he's a football player in the Parcellsiest sense of the word.

We've heard a lot about Bess all year in the Miami papers, and he's finally had the chance to produce the last two weeks: 14 targets, 8 targets, and 137 yards. With Greg Camarillo out for the season, Bess is the logical replacement to take over his possession receiver duties. Bess isn't tall or fast, but neither was Camarillo. They are both tough as Lance.

I went back to watch Bess' targets the last two weeks. He caught every one that was catchable. He fights to get high passes in traffic. He takes a hit and holds on to the ball, which comes in handy when Chad Pennington is throwing floaters your way. He catches the ball with his hands, which is another thing Pennington will remember after Ted Ginn dropped two crucial passes late last week. He converts third downs (3-of-4 last week for 61 yards.)

Bess was drawing linebackers and safeties before, so he'll have to beat better coverage now. Luckily he gets the Rams, Bills, and 49ers coming up. This post wouldn't exist if the schedule was harder. You'd have to be desperate to actually use Bess this week, but I know a lot of desperate owners out there. You could do worse if you are in a pinch for a WR3, especially in PPR leagues.
