Kansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles is listed on the injury report this week, but it doesn't appear to be anything more than normal wear and tear. Charles got a full practice on Thursday and is not expected to miss the team's Week 11 game against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.
Jamaal Charles’ minor injuries are not a fantasy concern for Week 11
Jamaal Charles is on the injury report this week but should be 100 percent against the Seahawks on Sunday. We break down the fantasy implications.

Charles has been mostly healthy since missing Week 3 with an ankle injury. He has been his usual self, carrying the Chiefs offense and scoring five touchdowns in the past four games. Through eight games this year, Charles has 533 yards and six touchdowns on 113 carries, adding 20 catches for 129 yards and two additional scores.
Fantasy impact: Charles will be ready to roll against Seattle, though you should keep Knile Davis handcuffed just in case. On paper, the Seahawks' run defense would normally give fantasy owners pause, but they lost Brandon Mebane for the year with a torn hamstring and that opens up a big hole on the defensive line. Charles is an easy RB1 play with the Chiefs at home. The 27-year-old remains one of fantasy football's premier stars.
