Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles is Getting Some Fantasy Football Attention

Although he's currently owned in 43% of Yahoo! fantasy leagues, Kansas City Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles is getting some attention.  When Larry Johnson's suspension was announced, I was excited because, as you can probably guess, I have Charles on my fantasy team.

Michael Berry and Merrill Hoge appeared on ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown this morning and offered up Charles as a starter for fantasy folks.

Berry begins, "In limited time this year, he's averaged 5 yards a carry. Now he faces the Jacksonville Jags giving up over 120 rushing yards per game.  Remember the last time he got double digit carries?  Last year he got it once.  Over 100 yards."

Charles rushed the ball 18 times for 106 yards against the Raiders.

A good and, let's face it, optimistic report on Charles.

Hoge continued, "What I like about him is that he's got excellent feet, he gets in an out of the hole and he breaks tackles.  And, he is a decisive runner. You get him sealed on a corner, a seal here and a seal there, and hits the alley right there.

"Fantasy fans love when you get yards and touchdowns, that means points."

Are you any of you one of the 43% of Charles fantasy football owners?

I have him a few leagues.

But I grabbed Kolby Smith over Charles when possible.

Erykah Badu, I have accepted your proposal. So, Mrs. DTR, let's get to consummating...you are on notice.

when possible?

You must have deep roster leagues if anyone has Kolby on the roster ahead of you.

Ha!

I meant when Charles wasn’t already picked up and I had to make a choice between them.

Charles is owned 80% on NFL.com's fantasy.

I picked up Kolby (5%) for shits and giggles.

I picked up Jamaal

and am very gingerly starting him. I think he could have a good game though. It’s just that I have to choose between him and Kevin Smith. Smith has put up great numbers in our league but he’s injured and don’t know how they’ll use him.

In the long run Kolby will have more fantasy value than Jamaal-imo.

I think it's gonna take awhile

for smith to come back and really offer any production… it was a pretty bad injury… If there’s a back on our team that has fantasy value it’s gotta be charles

I just picked him up this week...

hoping he busts out so I can trade him…. I have ronnie brown and AP that should start every week from here on out…

Available

He’s available in my league, but I picked up Julius Jones instead (against Detroit). Color me skeptical… I sure hope he proves me wrong! :)

He's a yo yo, but that's a good match up.
