When I touch that field going out there, you're going to feel my pain; you're going to go through what I went through. That right there is going to be there for the rest of my career because I don't want to be out a whole year ever again. That point, at my stage, I'm 25 years old, I'm at the point in my life that I've got to win games ... That had me thinking a lot and made me a better player."

Charles was injured during Week 2 against the Detroit Lions. Charles will undergo an MRI Monday, Sept. 19, but the initial diagnosis doesn't look encouraging. Fantasy Tip: This makes Dexter McCluster (available in 83 percent of leagues) and Thomas Jones (available in 52 percent of leagues) top waiver wire acquisitions. The Chiefs' offense is struggling, but they are a ground-based team, so don't expect that to change as long as they are in games. Look for a fairly even split between Jones and McCluster; the latter will have more value in PPR leagues. Charles should be dropped in all non-keeper leagues.

In regards to Charles' two fumbles in the preseason finale, head coach Todd Haley wasn't too worried. He feels the players weren't as prepared for real game-style hits due to the lighter training camp the players went through.
Fri, 02 Sep 2011 21:41:35 -0700 Kansas City Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles fumbled twice in the preseason finale Thursday, Sept. 1, against the Green Bay Packers, further disappointing himself with his play so far.

Thu, 23 Sep 2010 07:48:32 -0700 Kansas City Chiefs head coach Todd Haley said he is not concerned with how the tandem of RB Thomas Jones and RB Jamaal Charles is being used, according to Adam Teicher, of The Kansas City Star. Jones has been used as the featured back instead of Charles thus far. "It is in no way a problem for us," Haley said. "So far, through two games in the first quarter of the season, I would grade us as being successful." The Chiefs rank fifth in the league in rushing yardage. However, they have been more efficient when giving the ball to Charles, who is averaging 6.4 yards per carry and has the team's only rushing touchdown. Jones has averaged 3.7 yards per carry.

Sat, 11 Sep 2010 15:03:15 -0700 Kansas City Chiefs WR Dexter McCluster (illness) is unlikely to play during Week 1 because of an unspecified illness, reports Adam Teicher, of The Kansas City Star. McCluster is listed as doubtful for the team's game against the San Diego Chargers. Fantasy Tip: If you had considered playing McCluster as a flex option, make sure you take him out of your lineup quickly. Without McCluster playing, the value of RB Jamaal Charles jumps up a bit, as he'll likely see many of the touches McCluster would have during the game. Consider him a RB2 this weekend in standard scoring and slightly higher in point-per-reception formats.
Sat, 11 Sep 2010 08:30:05 -0700 The Kansas City Chiefs have not named a starting running back for Week 1 and head coach Todd Haley said he will be use RBs Jamaal Charles and Thomas Jones based on feeling, reports The Kansas City Star's Adam Teicher.

Thu, 26 Aug 2010 07:49:43 -0700 Kansas City Chiefs RB Thomas Jones is listed as the starter over RB Jamaal Charles because Jones has proven himself over a full season, according to head coach Todd Haley, reports The Kansas City Star's Adam Teicher. "What he did last year … it was an eight-game window or an eight-game sample that we saw," Haley said of Charles. "What we're pushing Jamaal to do is show that he can do that throughout a 16-game and hopefully-plus schedule. That's something that Thomas has proven through time." Charles has rushed nine times for 63 yards in two preseason games while Jones has 10 rushes for just 31 yards.
Tue, 24 Aug 2010 06:07:12 -0700 Kansas City Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles is second on the team's depth chart behind RB Thomas Jones, according to Adam Teicher, of The Kansas City Star.
Tue, 17 Aug 2010 12:29:35 -0700 Kansas City Chiefs head coach Todd Haley said RB Jamaal Charles' role in the offense has yet to be determined, reports Kent Babb, of The Kansas City Star. "Jamaal is a developing player," Haley said Monday. "Jamaal is a player that, last year at times in that development, had good days, bad days and in-between days like a lot of other guys.

Wed, 11 Aug 2010 21:07:57 -0700 Kansas City Chiefs RB Thomas Jones was listed as the team's No. 1 running back on their initial depth chart, reports Adam Teicher, of The Kansas City Star. He has been lining up that way in practices, too, ahead of RB Jamaal Charles. Head coach Todd Haley said he believes that will continue for the foreseeable future, too, but added that he shouldn't be held to the depth chart at this time. He has indicated both backs will see enough work to keep them happy.
Wed, 11 Aug 2010 11:59:27 -0700 Kansas City Chiefs head coach Todd Haley said that RB Thomas Jones probably will continue to work with the starters before RB Jamaal Charles will during practice but that the team will use whoever they believe gives them the best chance to win, reports Adam Teicher, of The Kansas City Star. "They both want to be the starter," Haley said. "There's no doubt about that. Somebody's got to start. That's just the way it is. We'll do our due diligence. We'll play the guy that gives us the best chance to win on that particular day, that particular series, that particular half, whatever it is. I will not be shy in making sure the guy that I think is running the best at a particular time is in there."
