Chiefs want 500+ touches for Jamaal Charles and Peyton Hillis

Aug 31, 2012

Adam Teicher of the Kansas City Star said that in a perfect world, the Chiefs would like to get the ball to running backs Jamaal Charles and Peyton Hillis 500-plus times combined (carries and passes).

He went on to say that, barring injury, the total touches between the two players should be pretty close.

Fantasy Impact:

Keep in mind that the Chiefs may not have an option to give the ball to the running backs 500+ times combined. That type of work is usually reserved for teams that spend a lot of time with the lead. However, Hillis is shaping up to be one of the better backup RBs in fantasy football, and is the obvious handcuff for Charles.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
