After Jamaal Charles exited Sunday’s game, veteran Thomas Jones was the runner who saw the biggest increase in carries. After hearing his number called only twice in the season opener, Jones led the Chiefs with 12 rushing attempts in Detroit.

Physically, Jones is the best candidate for an increase in workload. He hasn’t missed a game since 2005 and rarely fumbles the football. With turnovers plaguing the Chiefs, ball security is nothing to overlook.

Jones was a Pro Bowler as recently as 2009 and won the AFC rushing title as the N.Y. Jets’ workhorse in 2008.

Fantasy Impact: 

Does Jones have any gas left in the tank? He's averaging 3.1 ypc on the season, but most of his carries came against the Lions and they are much improved defensively. He averaged 3.7 ypc in 2010, but gained just 338 yards on 109 carries (for 3.1 ypc) in the final eight games of the season, including the playoffs. We envision a committee that includes Dexter McCluster (who has already been more involved this season) and Le'Ron McClain.

Now down two important elements of their offense, the Chiefs are leaning on players such as Matt Cassel, Dexter McCluster and wide receiver Dwayne Bowe. On Sunday, none was up to the task.

Cassel threw three interceptions and lost a fumble. McCluster led the Chiefs with 51 rushing yards, but for the second straight week he lost a fumble. He also had a net of minus-2 yards on his four pass receptions.

Bowe delivered the Chiefs’ biggest play with a 45-yard pass reception. But in the second quarter, he failed to haul in a pass that was then intercepted by the Lions, ending the Chiefs’ last possession in Detroit’s side of the field.

Fantasy Impact: 

McCluster could be an interesting pickup if he can overcome fumbles. He wasn't supposed to be much of a factor in the offense outside of kick returns. But, the fact the team didn't give the ball exclusively to Thomas Jones should make you realize the team probably won't count on him as a full time back.

The way the Chiefs have performed this year, it could be a situation to stay away from anyway. But, keep an eye on McCluster because he clearly has the most potential.

Schefter: Jamaal Charles is "out for the year"

Schefter on the injury: "Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles tore his ACL and is out for the year, according to a source familiar with the situation."

Fantasy Impact: 

Charles will apparently have an MRI on Monday to confirm the injury. The Chiefs backfield will likely be a mess going forward with Thomas Jones, Dexter McCluster and possibly Le'Ron McClain each having a role. McCluster appears to have the most upside, at least in PPR formats.

Chiefs QB Matt Cassel, constrained by a dink-and-dunk passing game, managed a microscopic 2.8 yards per passing play, including six completions that went for negative yards. That included his own pass that was batted back into his hands for his first career reception — for minus-4 yards.

Clearly, Bill Muir’s first game as offensive coordinator was a colossal failure, though head coach Todd Haley fell on the proverbial sword and took the blame.

In the passing game, Cassel took mostly short, two- and three-step drops and threw short hitches and comebacks to Dwayne Bowe, Dexter McCluster and running back Jamaal Charles.

Some of that strategy may have been a concession to the Bills’ pass rush, which sacked Cassel twice. Or an admission that the Chiefs’ pass protection was spotty.
