Chiefs show faith in Mark Bradley
Last week, I applauded the Chiefs for their sensible signing of Bobby Engram. What I didn't consider is how well Engram's signing bodes for incumbent starter Mark Bradley.
Bradley emerged last season as one of the best waiver pickups in the NFL, by none other than deposed King Carl Peterson. There was a risk that the talented former Bear would get lost in the shuffle as the Chiefs changed coaches, but now that doesn't appear to be the case. The Chiefs like Bradley, and appear to have faith in him as a starter.
If they felt like they needed an outside receiver to replace Bradley, they would have looked at Torry Holt or another veteran available. Instead, Bradley will get the chance to keep improving in a pass-first offense under a receiver-friendly coach. Bradley will always be a huge injury risk, but he's shaping up to be a nice late-round flier in fantasy leagues.

good to hear. he'll be worth the 5-7 game dominant production for the late round pick. anything higher, than your just asking too much.

I read (on Rotoworld) that Bradley will be manning Boldin's position in the offense. Is there any chance that he achieves that kind of production?

good point reaper. i dont think he gets there but that shows he could get a ton of targets.

Being an owner of him in my PPR dynasty league, I hope that proves true, but the Cardinals don't have a TE like Tony G. to steal some of those targets.

Of course, then you have to ask the question, is the TE position not a big part of the passing game in Todd Haley's offense, or was it just because the TE's in Arizona weren't very good?

it's because the TEs in Zona were garbage. Haley comes from Dallas, remember. Witten.
