It's likely that Charles is just having his practice reps monitored. He may be listed as probable when Friday's final injury reports come out, but he's in no danger of missing Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans. Through four games, Charles has 502 yards from scrimmage and four total touchdowns.
Fantasy impact: We’ll keep tabs on Charles in case it turns out to anything more serious, but for now there’s no cause for concern. Charles is on pace for over 2,000 yards from scrimmage and is one of the key driving forces behind Kansas City’s 4-0 start. As an added bonus, he has 23 receptions, giving him even more value in PPR leagues. Charles is locked in as a top three fantasy back for the rest of the season.
