Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles returned to practice on Thursday, according to ESPN's Adam Teicher.
Jamaal Charles returns to Thursday’s practice, is in line for another huge fantasy performance this week
The Chiefs’ feature back has been limited over the past two weeks in practice due to blisters on his toe. We break down the fantasy implications.

Charles has been dealing with blisters on his toes over the past two weeks, and head coach Andy Reid has limited his reps in practice to keep his feature back fresh. Charles also missed Wednesday's practice in preparation for the Titans in Week 5, but his workload was not diminished. Charles carried the ball 22 times for 108 yards and a touchdown, and also caught five passes for 37 yards on a team-leading nine targets.
Fantasy Spin: Once again, there's nothing to panic about for fantasy owners, who are rightfully giddy in anticipation for Charles' matchup versus the Raiders on Sunday. On the season, Charles is averaging 24 touches per game and is on pace for over 2,000 yards from scrimmage, including 1,270 on the ground. There is no concern to be had over his blisters, and fantasy owners can pen the top-flight RB1 option into their lineups and expect another huge week.
