2012 Pros and Cons

(+) His enormous talent outweighs the risk his ACL injury presents


(+) Charles is possibly the most explosive player in the league averaging 5.9 and 6.4 yards per carry his last two full seasons


(+) Good receiver out of the backfield who can break a screen pass for a touchdown in a heart beat


(+) Was poised to be one of the top backs in the league last season before tearing his ACL


(+) Might be the fastest back in the league aside from CJ2K


(+) Jamaal is the prototypical RB for the way the running game has developed in the NFL today


(+) The Chiefs are a much-improved team with an offensive-minded head coach and an offense loaded with high-scoring capabilities


(+) Charles is FAR better in the Red Zone than his size would normally dictate


(+) Peyton Hillis being used as the inside runner—like Thomas Jones was for him in 2010—could lead to Charles putting up similar numbers to his 2010 season


(–) Hillis, however, will likely be leaned on early, thus limiting Charles’ first-half potential


(–) Has yet to score double-digit touchdowns in his career


(–) Peyton Hillis was signed as an insurance policy and will take some carries away from Charles especially on the goal-line in order to preserve Jamaal’s health


(–) It usually takes one full season of recovery to completely return to form after a torn ACL

2009 Review

jamaal charles header graphic


Okay, where in the world did this galloping ostrich come from?!?!  It would be nice to say we predicted Jamaal becoming one of the top 12 fantasy RBs in the game, but we didn’t.  We did, however, make sure people understood that he was one of the top handcuffs in fantasy and that he would return good value if linked to Larry Johnson in your draft.  To that end, Charles did not disappoint in the slightest.  His slow first half was due to KC’s bizarre committal to the cancer that is LJ, but once Charles was finally given the chance to shine, he took off running and never looked back.  His welcome to the world of fantasy culminated in the final game of the season when he put up a two-touchdown, 259-yard effort against a Denver team fighting for a playoff spot in Denver.  So let us be the first to say, “Welcome aboard Jamaal, your place as a starting fantasy RB is waiting for you.”


jamaal charles 2009 stats


~ Set career bests in yards (1,120), attempts (190), rushing touchdowns (7, 9 total), yards/attempt (5.9), yards/game (74.7), receptions (40), receiving yards (297), and total yards from scrimmage (1,417)


~ Rushed for the eighth most yards ever in a single game (259 yards, 1/3/2010 @ Denver)

2010 Fantasy Outlook

“The Ostrich” was finally given the chance to show what he’s made of in 2009, and now in 2010, he’ll be implanted as the Chiefs lead-dog for his efforts.  However, in order to keep the smallish (5’11”, 199 lbs) Charles fresh throughout the season, Kansas City decided to reel in another starter-quality RB to take on part of the load; Thomas Jones.  How much will this affect the production of Jamaal Charles in 2010?  Probably enough to say that he’s not quite worth the risk as a low-end RB1 on your team, but he’ll still be a solid fantasy RB2.  Jones will end up vulturing a bunch of the goal-line carries, which definitely knocks The Ostrich down from being a possible #1 fantasy back, but the electricity he possesses in his feet give him an upside that not a lot of RB2s have.


~ What affect will the signing of Thomas Jones have on Charles?


~ Can he withstand the rigors of being the #1 guy throughout an entire season?


~ If the Chiefs are as terrible as they were last year, they’ll be forced to pass more than run yet again

Thomas Jones is easily one of the best handcuffs in the league, so don’t hesitate to grab him in your draft.  In fact, we believe he'll be the starter at some point during the season, if not the whole way through it
