Jamaal Charles

Charles played two games for Jacksonville in 2018, taking eight touches for 14 yards before he was released Oct. 22. He averaged 4.3 yards on 69 carries the previous season in Denver, but he hasn't looked remotely the same since suffering a torn ACL in 2015. The 32-year-old finishes his career with 1,407 carries for 7,563 yards and 44 touchdowns, along with 310 catches for 2,593 yards and 20 additional scores. Charles ranks fourth in league history with 5.4 yards per carry, trailing only Michael Vick (7.0), Randall Cunningham (6.4) and Marion Motley (5.7).

Though Charles has been supremely productive throughout his career with a lifetime 5.4 yards per carry average in addition to consistently making an impact as a receiver out of the backfield, health has been a stumbling block for the 30-year-old, particularly in the last two seasons. After playing a combined eight games with the Chiefs in 2015 and 2016, Charles was forced to settle for a one-year deal with Denver in May, a transaction that's proven shrewd for the Broncos so far. Charles is averaging 5.1 yards on his 38 totes and has also hauled in four receptions, but since he's seeing just 8.2 touches per game through the Broncos' first five contests, it's been difficult for his fantasy owners in most formats to justify starting him. With lead back C.J. Anderson thriving early on in the season, there may not be much further room for Charles to gain involvement in the run game, but the opportunity is there for him to contribute more as a receiver, and Joseph seems willing to utilize the veteran in that capacity. With receivers Emmanuel Sanders (ankle) and Isaiah McKenzie (ankle) ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers and Demaryius Thomas (lower leg) and Cody Latimer (knee) seemingly iffy, quarterback Trevor Siemian could look Charles' way more frequently as a short-yardage target if for no other reason than the lack of available bodies in the wideout corps.

Charles had surgery to fix both menisci back in November and it seems like everything has gone well thus far. No one really doubted the fact that he wanted to keep playing but whether his body would allow him is another question all together. The real question is whether he'll play with the Chiefs again. Charles finished the year with only 40 yards on 12 carries and has only played in eight games the last two years.
