Peyton Hillis, Dexter McCluster taking away fantasy value from Jamaal Charles
Peyton Hillis and Dexter McCluster continue to be involved in the backfield workload. We break down the fantasy implications.

The two running backs continue to take away from Jamaal Charles' playing time.
Fantasy Impact: If you’re starting McCluster in your lineup, let’s hope your league is 30 teams deep. His biggest impact on fantasy football is his negative effect on Charles’ value at this point.
Hillis is still working his way back after missing several weeks with an ankle injury. It’s unclear what his role will be once he is back into his regular rhythm, but it’s not looking good for his outlook either. However, the two backs continue to eat into the backfield workload, frustrating Charles owners everywhere.
