Best Case

In the event that Larry Johnson is injured, Charles is the early favorite to replace him as the Chiefs' primary ball-carrier, and he has the physical talent to succeed in that role. He has track star speed (he was the Big 12 100m champion), and has also shown good receiving skills. He can get outside and turn the corner, and is always a threat to go the distance once he breaks into the open.

Worst Case

Charles is playing backup to a runner who doesn't like to come out of the game. Moreover, Charles doesn't even have the number two job sewn up; he'll have to outperform Kolby Smith during the preseason for that honor. There's a decent chance that Charles won't see the field much as a rookie, in which case he'll be useless to his fantasy owners.

Outlook

Charles is a late-round handcuff candidate who won't have fantasy value unless Larry Johnson is injured.
