Scouting report

KC RB Jamaal Charles - Week 11, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 – Jamaal Charles vs. Seattle Seahawks

The beat goes on for one of fantasy football’s best backs. Jamaal Charles rushed for 98 yards and a touchdown and also caught three passes for 20 yards last Sunday as Kansas City bested Buffalo 17-13.

Normally, when fantasy football owners see one of their players is squaring off with Seattle, they cringe. And with good reason, as Seattle’s run defense entered the week as a top five unit. However, the Seahawks have lost solid run stopper Brandon Mebane for the season and will be without linebacker Bobby Wagner this weekend. And Charles has proven he can put up points against any opponent. There is no reason not to think of him as an RB1.

KC RB Jamaal Charles - Week 10, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 – Jamaal Charles at Buffalo Bills
Jamaal Charles remained on a hot streak in Week 9, scampering for 78 yards and a touchdown as Kansas City moved to 5-3 by beating the Jets. It was the third straight week Jamaal took a journey to the end zone. Buffalo will represent a tough test, as the Bills have given up only three rushing touchdowns and also allow fewer than 100 yards per game, but Charles has aced plenty of exams through the years and is entrenched as a firm RB1.

KC RB Jamaal Charles - Week 9, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 – Jamaal Charles vs. New York Jets
Jamaal Charles was his usual RB1 self in week eight as the Chiefs routed St. Louis in the Battle of Missouri. Charles rushed for two touchdowns and accumulated 117 total yards. While the Jets have one of the best run defenses in the NFL, they are still a 1-7 team in the midst of a massive meltdown. In other words, have no fears about starting Charles. You probably didn't have any fears to begin with.

KC RB Jamaal Charles - Week 8, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 – Jamaal Charles vs. St. Louis Rams
Dependable Jamaal Charles once again came through for fantasy owners last Sunday, rushing for 95 yards and a touchdown, playing a key role in Kansas City’s 23-20 win over AFC West rival San Diego. Charles has superstar upside this week against a Rams defense that is one of the worst in the NFL at stopping the run. He will be locked into lineups as an elite RB1.

KC RB Jamaal Charles - Week 7, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 – Jamaal Charles at San Diego Chargers
After missing most of week two and all of week three with an injury, Jamaal Charles has returned to being his usual productive self. In Kansas City’s last two games, Charles has 192 total yards and three touchdowns. San Diego’s run defense has been steady for the most part and the Chargers have allowed just two touchdowns on the ground. But you don’t bench a player the caliber of Charles, who will be at least a mid-range RB1 on Sunday.

KC RB Jamaal Charles - Week 5, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 – Jamaal Charles at San Francisco 49ers

We’re going to party like it’s 2013! Finally, Jamaal Charles looked like the player he did a season ago. In a week four win over New England, Charles rushed for 92 yards and a touchdown while also hauling in a pair of touchdown passes. He was a superstar RB1 all over again.

Can he keep the momentum going against a San Francisco defense yielding only 69.8 rushing yards per game? It won’t be easy, but Charles certainly shouldn’t be benched now that he’s regained his groove. Just realize Jamaal is more likely to be a mid-range RB1 than an elite one.

KC RB Jamaal Charles - Week 4, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

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.
