Charles: 'There isn't any question I can still play'

Jul 28, 2017

For the last two days in Broncos training camp, veteran running back Jamaal Charles has sported a brace on his surgically repaired right knee under the premise that if it doesn’t work for him, he’ll scrap it.

“But right now, it’s a safe plan for me,” he said. “To build confidence back up with my knee.”

It’s a test period for the brace and Charles is taking it slow. Just as the Broncos are taking it slow with Charles as he works his way back from multiple knee surgeries that hindered his final two years in Kansas City.

“There isn’t any question I can still play. I know I can still play,” he said. “The main thing is knowing the playbook and controlling what I can control."

Fantasy Impact:

The injury to Devontae Booker could really open the door for Charles to see a lot more opportunities. The team is scheduled for live hitting on Sunday, the story said, which could serve a good indication how far Charles has come.

The Saints officially listed QB Derek Carr (left hand/concussion) as doubtful for Sunday vs. Washington. Jake Haener will make his first NFL start.

RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is off the injury report and good to go.

Related Players: Kendre Miller

Fantasy Impact:

It would have been an easy click for a Kendre Miller week if Kamara were forced to miss, but this puts the kibosh on that. Fire Kamara up as an RB2 this week in a game that may feature him even more than usual with no Carr.

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.
