Fantasy Analysis: This was a brief scare for fantasy owners who took a chance on Charles, despite his injury last year. Charles had high first round potential but fell to the early mid-rounds in a lot of fantasy leagues. For those that own him, Charles is a sure-fire start this Sunday. Although Peyton Hillis stole a lot of Charles' carries in Week 2, it resulted in a huge loss to the Buffalo Bills. The Chiefs should realize their mistakes and understand they need to get players like Jamaal Charles plenty of touches.
