| Kansas City Chiefs head coach Romeo Crennel believes RB Dexter McCluster can be a weapon for the team; however, his lack of size also presents an issue. 'You have to be cognizant of his size and the limitations that size presents,' Crennel said. 'But he also brings play-making ability. If you manage him well, you can get a lot of good plays out of him and not expose him too much to the rigors of that position.' |

| Kansas City Chiefs RB Dexter McCluster could see more touches since RB Jamaal Charles (knee) is out for the season, but the team came into the season with an expectation of giving McCluster eight to 10 touches a game and he is already near the top end of the projection. The team is concerned that an increased workload could increase the risk of injury because of his size. The team may also be worried about McCluster's two fumbles in two games this season. |
| Fantasy Impact: McCluster has more upside for the big game than Thomas Jones, so he is the better pickup Jones. |
