The Facts:
OC Al Saunders has placed great faith in Cooley, whom he compared Saturday to Chiefs tight end Tony Gonzalez. "Chris has an ability to carry the football up the field and an excellent ability to run routes," Saunders said. "He is a much better route runner than he was at this time last year. I expect Chris Cooley to be one of the dominant forces in what we do offensively because of what he has demonstrated on the field."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
While quarterback Jason Campbell learns, the advantage of a big target in the middle of the field is clear. As he and Campbell continue to develop better chemistry, Cooley seems likely to become an even bigger weapon -- especially given Saunder's confidence in him.
