Week 4 – Jamaal Charles vs. New England Patriots
Through three weeks, Jamaal Charles has been one of the most disappointing players in fantasy football. He sat out week three, missed most of week two, and rushed for 19 yards in week one. Things have to get better for Charles at some point, right?
Well, if you are looking for silver linings, it looks like he will be able to play on Monday. Originally, his injury was expected to cost him multiple games and he may end up missing just one. Secondly, Kansas City’s passing game is going to have problems against New England. They will need to get their ground attack going. Heading into this week, the Patriots were 11th in the NFL in run defense, which is decent but not exceptional. It is not time to pull the RB1 plug on Jamaal just yet, but make sure you have a contingency on Monday Night in case Charles can't go.
