Here is how I feel after week 3: All work and no play makes Phil a dull boy. All work and no play makes Phil a dull boy. All work and no play makes Phil a dull boy. All work and no play makes Phil a dull boy. All work and no play makes Phil […]
The Player Profile series breaks down the 2012 performances of key players at each position in order to project where they should be drafted in 2013. Dig in, read up, and look ahead. Jamaal Charles, RB, Kansas City Chiefs To many owners, Jamaal Charles was a disappointment in 2012. And in some ways, he was. […]
When Andy Reid was announced as the new Kansas City Chiefs head coach (stop with the bad jokes already), my first thought was, “How will this affect Jamaal Charles’ value?” During Andy Reid’s tenure in Philly, you couldn’t put a number on the tweets that mentioned his use of LeSean McCoy (or lack thereof).

You’ve developed a relationship with plenty of NFL players over the years through fantasy football. Deny it all you want, but I can guarantee you there’s someone on your team, right now, that you’d take a bullet for. You drafted Jamaal Charles in 2009.

The Kansas City Chiefs missed a big part of their offense last year when Jamaal Charles tore his ACL less than two games into the season.
