He went through practice this week and even had a small chance to play last week, so he should be close to 100 percent. Knile Davis will move to a backup role, but he will still get some touches to alleviate Charles in his return. Even if Charles doesn't get all of his normal touches, he'll still have an excellent chance to put up big numbers against a below-average Patriots defense.
Fantasy impact: You're starting him. Charles didn't have a great start to his season against the Tennessee Titans, rushing for just 19 yards to go with 15 receiving yards. He should bounce back in a big way against the Pats. As for Knile Davis, he remains the best handcuff in fantasy football and should remain stashed in all leagues.
