| Kansas City Chiefs interim coach Romeo Crennel said Wednesday, Dec. 28, that the team doesn't have a lot of depth in the backfield for Week 17 if RB Jackie Battle (foot) cannot play. 'You might say we're borderline as far as depth goes,' Crennel said. FB Le'Ron McClain might get carries along with RBs Thomas Jones and Dexter McCluster. The team also has RB Shaun Draughn on the practice squad, and he might be promoted for added depth. |

| Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Bill Muir said there is will be no limit to how many carries RB Thomas Jones will get in Week 3.

| Updating a previous report, the Kansas City Chiefs will be using a running back by committee approach because of the injury to RB Jamaal Charles (knee). RBs Dexter McCluster, Thomas Jones and Jackie Battle and FB Le'Ron McClain could receive carries the rest of the season. |
| Fantasy Impact: McCluster has most value in our eyes but Jones should get the goal-line work. |

| Kansas City Chiefs RB Thomas Jones likely will receive an increased role in the offense now that RB Jamaal Charles (knee) is out for the season because he has not missed a game since 2005 and does not have any fumbling issues. |
| Fantasy Impact: Jones will get his carries with Charles out but his upside isn't too high at this point of his career. Don't expect much. |
