The "feel" better include Charles on nearly every play because he's simply a much better RB (at this point in Jones' career). I get the "feeling" Charles will have a big year, but expecting him to equal what he did towards the end of last season may be asking a bit too much. I like him a lot, though. He should've got his chance much sooner. There's some stubborn coaches in the NFL.
I Agree with you. I just don't feel good about Haley's comments so it's hard to trust him. If Jones is semi-productive at all Haley will have him in all game leaching touches from Charles.
this is expectation fail. charles will likely earn his adp. at least i hope so since i have him in a number of leagues. but at no point did i expect him to put up what he did last yr. 220 and 50 would be enough imo.haleys comments this offseason actually made me optimistic. he has maintained they will ride the hot hand and they will be a run oriented offense. if you truly believe in charles' ability, then you should be confident he will be the "hot hand."
That's not good news for Charles then. I'm a Pats fan and I have no idea who is gonna get the most carries on any given week in NE and Mangini kept trotting out Fat Jamal Lewis last year until he got hurt even though Harrison was the better back.
Yeah Mangini kept trouting out Fat Jamal Lewis last year just like Haley kept trouting out over the hill Larry Johnson until Larry put his foot in his mouth and the brass at KC shipped him out of town. Depending on what happens, this almost feels like ownership might have to tell Haley to stop BS'ing and put Charles in the game.It sort of reminds me of last year when Jeff Fisher kept trouting out Kerry Collins week after week until ownership finally stepped in and said, enough is enough and twisted his hand so he would play Vince Young! The thing that gets me is that these coaches are suppose to be the brightest minds in the game, that's why they're head coaches, but they continue to roll with players such as Kerry Collins, Jamal Lewis, and Larry Johnson when it is clear their backup was a better option! In my opinion TJ should get about 10 - 12 touches a game, but if Haley gives TJ 20+ touches and Charles 10 - 12 touches a game something is definitely wrong!
i'm benching him and starting rice, foster, and best instead
Im between him and Addai. I like the upside of Charles for PPR and the possiblity he is the only one who scores, but JA is usually pretty solid at the goalline. Problem is, Peyton could sling it for 4 TD's and I end up with garbage yards for Addai.
The only place Jamaal Charles is sitting is on my opponent's face.
I'm thinking of benching him for Jerome Harrison this week and start Harrison and Best. The way I'm thinking is that Best and Harrison will get at lest 20 touches each. Who knows how many touches Charles is going to get....
Sitting Charles for Mendenhall and Harrison
True but on the mentioned situation, White was not brought in that year but was there prior. Here is a situation where Jones was brought in this year.
benching for Grant & Bradshaw, no regrets in doing so
This is where I'm leaning now. Best is the running game for the Lions. He is the undisputed MAN.
Of course not. The game hasn't started and Charles hasn't popped off 150 yet.
He won't factor in.Dexter McCluster-WR-Chiefs Sep. 11 - 5:14 pm et Dexter McCluster is doubtful for Monday's game against the Chargers due to an illness.The Chiefs haven't revealed much information about McCluster's illness but he probably shouldn't be in fantasy lineups anyway. His role in the Kansas City offense isn't clearly defined and Jamaal Charles is likely to share carries with Thomas Jones in Monday night's opener.Texican said:
Never bench your studs.
I have no words for some of you. Seriously, WTF? There is NOTHING to like more about McFadden than Charles. Hell, McFadden will probably break a toe-nail in the 2nd quarter and be out for the rest of the game.Dude, go with Charles and stop being silly. Don't be a part of the thread that's created very late Monday night titled "Tell me why I benched Jamaal Charles again < what an idiot".
Notsofastmyfriend. McCuster practices Saturday. Game is Monday, so that gives them another day to get it sorted out.
same here. goin with CJIII and brown and waiting to see what happens this week before plugging him in next week.

Sounds like he's dancing around the fact that Charles deserves more carries.
