Kansas City won that game, 24-20. It was Charles' highest yardage total of the season, though he has eclipsed 90 yards three other times this year. Charles is the lead back in Kansas City's fourth-ranked rushing offense, with 133 carries for 692 yards and eight touchdowns. On Thursday, the Chiefs will take on the Oakland Raiders, their AFC West rivals. Oakland ranks 27th in the league with 129.8 rushing yards allowed per game.
Fantasy Impact: Charles may be one of the most attractive starting options at the running back position this week. He’s worth a start most weeks, but this week especially. Fantasy owners need to start him without further question. He’ll have a big game.
