Gates, Witten.... Chandler?

Scott Chandler is coming off a late-season torn ACL, but that's not going to slow him down. To hear him talk, he's poised for a big season.

“I’ve made no bones about the relationship between a quarterback and receiver needs to be there,” Chandler said to buffalobills.com. “I’ve been with guys like (Antonio) Gates and (Philip) Rivers and obviously (Jason) Witten and (Tony) Romo and you see those kinds of relationships and that’s what it takes."

Chandler says he'll be ready to fully participate in training camp -- impressive, but just the latest in some recent impressive recoveries from torn ACLs. The Bills have new quarterbacks and a bunch of young receivers, so Chandler could be an important part of the offense early on, assuming he's healthy. And it sounds like he will be.

Not a guy to build your fantasy draft around, but someone to consider as a quality backup or second option at the position, with more leagues starting two tight ends.
