Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles (knee) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Andy Reid called it a “stretch” for Charles to play this week, so we’re currently expecting Spencer Ware to carry the load with Charcandrick West serving as the change-of-pace back. In two games against the Chargers last year, Ware averaged 7.62 YPC, racking up 148 yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries.

Reid: 'Stretch' for RB Jamaal Charles to play Week 1

Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid sounded his most pessimistic note yet about the availability of running back Jamaal Charles for Sunday’s season opener against the San Diego Chargers.

“I think it’s a stretch for him to play Sunday," Reid said. “We’ll see how it goes."

Charles only recently returned to practice after missing much of last season because of a torn ACL. But Charles has yet to regain the featured back role he had before the injury. He did not play in any of the four preseason games.

Fantasy Impact: 

This has been brewing for at least a week when reports came out that Charles was behind schedule. Spencer Ware has been taking most of the starter’s snaps in his place. Ware’s physical running style played well against the Chargers last year. He had 148 rushing yards on 19 carries and two touchdowns in the two games against San Diego. Charcandrick West would also be in line for touches but is also recently back from injury. Knile Davis could also be a factor.

Chiefs Beat: Knile Davis insurance at RB

Four’s a crowd at running back for the Chiefs, but keep in mind the Chiefs aren’t confident Jamaal Charles will be ready to play when the regular season begins on Sept. 11 against the San Diego Chargers.

Charcandrick West also didn’t play the final three games because of an injured elbow, though it appears he will be ready to go against the Chargers. Still, the Chiefs might need Knile Davis against the Chargers, and perhaps beyond.

Fantasy Impact: 

Davis dropped on the depth chart last year when Charles went down paving the way for Spencer Ware, who should see a bulk of the work of Charles can't go. But Davis could have a role especially with West coming back from an injury. Ware still seems to be the back to own if Charles can't go, however.

Chiefs Beat: Jamaal Charles 'certainly won't be the starter' in Week 1

Adam Teicher on Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles in Week 1: "If he plays it won't be a lot...he certainly won't be the starter."

Related players: Spencer Ware, Charcandrick West

Fantasy Impact: 

Teicher said earlier in the week that the Chiefs "can afford to take the longer view with Charles" due to their good depth at the position. Ware is shaping up to be the primary back in Week 1 if Charles can't play, and it looks like Charles will be limited, at best. Ware should be rostered in most (if not all) formats -- he fared very well in Joe Holka's Rushing Expectation series, and could emerge from the first month of the season with a larger role than expected. Along with James White, Ware is looking like a good Plan B for LeVeon Bell owners who either miss out on DeAngelo Williams or don't want to pay a steep price for three weeks of service. As for Charles, there is some injury concern baked into his current projections, though he looks like a risky pick in the 2nd round given recent events.
