The Redskins will lean on Chris Cooley more than last season in the passing game because he’s their 2nd best option in the passing game behind Santana Moss.  Cooley played in 16 games (all starts) for the Redskins last year and he caught 57 passes for 734 yards (12.9 avg) with 6 TD grabs.  He has good hands and he could catch 70+ passes this season.  He has now played in 48 games (41 starts) in his NFL career and he has caught 165 passes for 1,822 yards (11.0 avg) with 19 TD grabs.

Eric Edwards was signed as a free agent and he will likely be the #2 TE for the Redskins this season.  He played in 16 games (9 starts) for the Cardinals last year and he caught 12 passes for 133 yards (11.1 avg) with 1 TD grab.  He has now played in 32 games (10 starts) in his NFL career and he has caught 17 passes for 184 yards (10.8 avg) with 1 TD catch.

Todd Yoder is back for the Redskins to help out as a blocker.  He played in 14 games (0 starts) last season and he caught 1 pass for 4 yards and it was a TD.  He has now played in 87 games (10 starts) in his career and he has caught 29 passes for 304 yards (10.5 avg) with 3 TD grabs.

Rookie Tyler Ecker is a blocker first.  But if he shows he can catch the football he could rocket up to #2 on the depth chart behind Chris Cooley.
