Running Back Rank: #54
Overall: #203
Charles had a so-so rookie season. He had a 100-yard game both rushing and receiving, but wasn't much of a factor in a reserve role much of the season. He got more work in the passing game than as a receiver, catching 27 passes. Charles finished with more than 600 total yards and averaged 5.3 yards per carry. He'll have a chance to play a much more significant role in the Chiefs offense this coming season. Charles is a big-play back. He is a physical runner with top speed and moves in the open field. He needs to do a better job of setting up his blocks, though.

Charles is worth a late-round pick come draft day. He has some upside in what should be an improved Chiefs offense. Charles has value as a No. 3 or 4 back for fantasy teams. The potential is there for Charles to get 1,000 total yards and a few scores. |

| Adam Teicher, of The Kansas City Star, reports the Kansas City Chiefs are likely to use a running-back-by-committee with free-agent RB Larry Johnson (Chiefs) gone. The committee will include RBs Kolby Smith, Jamaal Charles and Dantrell Savage. Charles started and played more snaps in Week 9, but Smith could eventually take more of the workload. The team still appears hesitant to give the ball to Charles in running formations. |
