Adam Teicher on RB Jamaal Charles (knee) in week 1: “If he plays it won’t be alot…he certainly won’t be the starter.” (Sirius XM NFL Radio)

Nerdy Football Analysis: Teicher is doubling down on Charles coming out of the gates slow after telling the world the 29-year-old back wasn’t even taking reps with the starters in practice yet. It is possible the Chiefs are eyeing their Week 5 bye as a time to begin the transition from committee back to lead back, although that is far from a given. A case can be made that Charles is no better than a fourth-round value, Meanwhile, Spencer Ware can be considered as early as the sixth or seventh round.
