The Colombian striker sealed a season-long loan move to the English Premier League champions on Friday afternoon, after he failed to impress at Manchester United last season.
However, Redknapp feels Falcao, who reportedly took a big wage cut, is happy to sit on the bench and play second fiddle to Diego Costa.
"He's going to find himself on the bench an awful lot next year," Redknapp told Sky Sports News HQ.
"I watched Radamel Falcao in his Atletico Madrid days and he was one of the best centre forwards I think I've ever seen.
"Now he's gone to Chelsea and probably what Chelsea need is a striker that's going to be happy not to play, and maybe have to fill in at times when there is an injury, because you look at the players he's going to be contending with like Diego Costa, who is going to be first choice.
"I think every Chelsea fan knows that. Then they've got Loic Remy.
"So what he (Falcao) is saying is 'I'm happy to come and I'm happy to be part of the squad'.
"I find that a little frustrating, really. I think he's a better player than that."
