Tight End Rank: #28
Overall: #193
Cooley had a big rebound season after an injury plagued '09 season. Cooley tied a career high in yards (849) and caught 77 passes, his second highest career total. Cooley was a reliable target in the Redskins' new offense, an offense that normally gets the tight end involved. Cooley has at least 77 receptions two of the last three years and 700-plus yards in all but two NFL seasons. He has been a consistent No. 1 tight end in the Redskins' offense. Cooley has never been a huge red-zone threat, though, failing to top double-digit scores at any point of his career. Cooley isn't a huge tight end, but he has pretty good size and runs well for his size. And he has plus hands, catching nearly everything thrown his way.

Cooley isn't a prolific No. 1 fantasy tight end, but solid. His only knock are a lack of scores (six the last three seasons). But he'll get a ton of receptions (70-plus) and around 800-receiving yards. Cooley isn't flashy but certainly gets the job done for fantasy teams, producing solid weekly numbers. |

| Washington Redskins TE Chris Cooley (knee) 'feels as good as he's felt for the last couple of years,' according to head coach Mike Shanahan. Cooley has had no swelling in his left knee, and his weight is down. The hope is that Cooley will be a full speed when organized team activities (OTAs) get started in mid-May. |

| The Washington Redskins have several tight ends on the roster, including TEs Chris Cooley, Fred Davis, Logan Paulsen and Richard Quinn. In addition, WR Niles Paul has begun the transition from receiver to tight end. Paul has gained 10 pounds since last season ended, according to head coach Mike Shanahan. |
| Fantasy Impact: Needless to say, some guys are going to get cut. Davis is the tight end to own in Washington right now. |

| The Washington Redskins may consider releasing TE Chris Cooley this offseason because he is scheduled $3.8 million next season and has struggled with injuries the last few seasons. |
| Fantasy Impact: This makes even more sense if they sign Fred Davis to a long-term deal this offseason. |

| Washington Redskins TE Chris Cooley (knee) said the NFL lockout cost him the rest of the 2011 season as he was unable to receive treatment from team doctors and trainers for a left knee that was feeling stiff from surgery in January. Instead, Cooley figured he would handle it himself. He didn't think the knee was that bad. 'I feel 100 percent that I'm a casualty for the season of the lockout,' Cooley said. 'I think it was a shame that they didn't let players who had surgery spend time with the doctors and trainers they trust on daily basis, I wish I could have.' |

| Washington Redskins TE Chris Cooley's (knee) injured knee, which bothered him all of training camp, wasn't helped by the lockout, according to head coach Mike Shanahan. 'It hurt not having the OTAs and not having a chance to rehab (with the team) in the offseason,' Shanahan said. 'So when he came in, we didn't really know where he was.' |

| Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan would like to have TE Chris Cooley (knee) return next season, despite the emergence of TE Fred Davis as the team's No. 1 tight end. 'We're hoping to have him back and playing at a high level,' Shanahan said. |
