Jamaal Charles - Chiefs - INACTIVE (1 Viewer)

2005: 22/107...3/48 and 2 TDs

2006: 31/154/2TD

2007: Injured

2008: 12/22...

When he had a stud OL he was in feugo at home against Oakland but the past 2 seasons not so much. I like LJ's prospects today but he is no sure thing either.

 
Wow ... that took me completely off guard. I have McFadden starting over LJ, but now second guessing. Whoever I decide on, I don"t think I'll be able to watch the game.

 
makes LJ an interesting play - but after watching the Charger/Raider game 3 times since Monday, that Oakland defense is extremely tough and nothing like those terrible Oak defenses LJ tore up 3-4 years ago.

Still, I'm plugging him in over Jamal Lewis in one of my leagues. The touches should be there at the very least.

I had the same choice...I chose Jamal Lewis against a weak Denver run defense.I don't trust LJ yet. He needs to show me...and Oakland's run defense is suprior to Denver's.I am rolling with LJ in a few other leagues as a flex though...but to start him over Lewis...I say Lewis's match up is way better.

No one seems to know as he was not on the injury report all week. On pure speculation, I am guessing this is not injury related (as that is a fineable situation here if it were).
Also Welker was a late scratch...both the Pats and the team with a former Pat FO person in charge...are they playing game with the IR when the NFL levied fines this week...why?

I agree - I just think LJ's greatly increased role due to Charles' last minute absence makes him at least a coin flip with Jamal.GL - hopefully both have big weeks.

Savage is looking good in his place. Could be why.More importantly for LJ, Haley admitted they need to feed him more. I dont think it matter if the third down guy is Charles or Savage.
 
Charles was inactive against the Raiders, in effect trading places with Savage, who didn't play in Baltimore. Charles said Monday that the coaches haven't told him why he didn't play against Oakland."I still don't even know," he said.
 
Isn't Johnson known as a bit of a prima donna? Perhaps this has to do with reassuring him that he's still the guy or something.

Certainly hurts his value as a handcuff, probably means I'll be dropping him with bye week issues coming up, and hoping that if something does happen to LJ then he or Savage would still be on the WW.

Thinking the same thing here!
 
so much for him taking over for LJ (as one thread after preseason game 4 suggested). Haley seems like a real nut though. Making him inactive without even giving him a clue that it was coming or why it occured? Strange.
