Jamaal Charles says he's just as fast as before. Knew he wasn't gonna play a lot vs PIT. Says he's ready to go, "training wheels" coming off

Jamaal Charles is practicing fully.
Dynasty league, so no.Pretty much droppable in most leagues guys. Move on.
Not in dynasty, but it's not a promising outlook.Dynasty league, so no.
I don't think so. I think we tend to get caught up into thinking all these guys are cookie cutter parts and that "x" injury requires "x" time to recover. It's not the same for everyone but that doesn't mean that once the player is healthy that they won't be very good again.What to do in dynasty now?
I guess I'll use an IR slot for now, but is he pretty much droppable at this point?
Hopng for what? Earliest he can return is (I think) WK 17. Unless you are talking dynasty, no reason to hold him at all for this year's fantasy season.Until there is a better option on the waiver wire, I'm holding and hoping. Once I find someone I want on waivers however, he is a likely drop. I can see a lot teams making that decision to make room for rookie picks for example and that might be my situation as well. But for now I think you hold unless it's a shallow league or you can't find something better.
since he mentioned rookie picks, he is presumably responding about dynasty.Hopng for what? Earliest he can return is (I think) WK 17. Unless you are talking dynasty, no reason to hold him at all for this year's fantasy season.
Hoping that the carries he's received so far in his career hasn't ended his career. That he comes back to the Charles that carried championships not so long ago. Most of this board is dynasty so I assume that in all my replies. Sorry for the confusion.Hopng for what? Earliest he can return is (I think) WK 17. Unless you are talking dynasty, no reason to hold him at all for this year's fantasy season.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport was "told" that Jamaal Charles (knee surgery) has "a shot to come back this year."
We'll believe it when we see it. Charles has undergone ACL surgeries on both of his knees, encountering multiple setbacks in his latest recovery. He was dealing with problems in both knees before being placed on I.R. and undergoing "exploratory" surgery on Wednesday. Charles is certain to miss at least eight weeks. Perhaps he could return for a bit role in the playoffs.

That headline they used is a tad misleading after reading the article IMO
ESPN's Tim McManus speculates Jamaal Charles could be an option for the Eagles if he is released.
Charles counts $6.2 million against the cap, and the Chiefs can save all of that by releasing him. Considering he is coming off two lost seasons due to knee issues, it is almost a given Kansas City will move on. If they do, the Eagles make a lot of sense. Coach Doug Pederson was his coordinator in Kansas City, and they need backfield help even if they do not cut Ryan Mathews. Signing Charles will be a gamble, but it could prove a smart, low-cost move for an Eagles organization pinching pennies as they attempt to surround Carson Wentz with weapons.

weve missed you. :(I just stopped by to say I told ya so. Almost a year ago.
The Colts could use Charles if he's anything like he used to be.I think he'd be a good fit for the Packers.
Yeah, them too!The Colts could use Charles if he's anything like he used to be.
The Colts young OL made good strides in the second half of the season, but they do need to upgrade the right side of their offensive line.Yeah, them too!
I would love to see one of those teams draft a Christian McCaffrey and then grab Charles as a 1-2 year mentor/starter. They both desperately need RB too. I think Colts need O line more badly though, so I imagine that's their focus.
Yeah? Good to knowThe Colts young OL made good strides in the second half of the season, but they do need to upgrade the right side of their offensive line.
NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports free agent Jamaal Charles' priority is to sign with a Super Bowl contender.
"No. 1 on his list is going to be playing for a contender," said Garafolo. "He's aiming for teams that were in the postseason and have a legitimate Super Bowl chance." Garafolo added that the Cowboys, in particular, "would be high on Jamaal Charles' list, for sure." Charles played his college ball at Texas. The Giants are another 2016 playoff team with which Charles would be a fit.

I concur with your assessment!Philly hasnt taken a RB yet, and Pederson knows Charles well. I dont think Ryan Mathews is going to be relied upon to be the guy there, and resting hopes on a 4th+ rounder or Wendall Smallwood seems irresponsible.
Free agent RB Jamaal Charles is visiting the Broncos on Tuesday.
It's only Charles' second visit of free agency. Fresh off striking out on early-round running backs in a deep draft at the position, the Broncos still need to add to their backfield. If healthy, Charles would be an excellent complement/back-up plan for C.J. Anderson. Charles recently posted video of a vigorous workout. He should find a new home sooner rather than later.

i dont believe thisChuckLiddell said:From Rotoworld...
Philly Voice's Jimmy Kempski "doesn't see" the Eagles signing free agent Jamaal Charles.
Charles' "market" has been completely nonexistent, which is surprising to a degree. Though he is coming off a significant knee injury and is 30 years old, he should be able to get another shot. Before the injury, Charles was one of the best backs in the league and has never averaged fewer than 5.0 YPC in a season. The Eagles are the most RB-needy team in the league right now, but Kempski doesn't see a fit for Charles, as Philly already has a number of small-ish space backs like Darren Sproles, Wendell Smallwood, and rookie Donnel Pumphrey.
