The Facts:
Among the changes this offseason have been a switch from defensive-minded coach Nick Saban to Cam Cameron, considered an offensive guru. For Chambers, it has also meant spending the past month adjusting to a new role at receiver. In football jargon, Chambers has moved from the Z position to X receiver. It's a subtle change that could have substantial results.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Loosely translated, Chambers would line up primarily on the less-crowded side of some formations, leaving him more space to exploit mismatches. The hope is that Chambers will rekindle his Pro Bowl production from 2005, when he had 82 catches, 1,118 yards and 11 touchdowns. Those numbers dipped to just 59 catches for a career-low 677 yards and four touchdowns last season and Chambers' franchise record of five consecutive seasons as the Dolphins' leader in receiving yards ended. Chambers describes his new role in the offense as "freedom." His goals are to finish with close to 80 catches and 10 touchdowns.
