Charles Likes New Offense

Chiefs | Jamaal Charles likes new offense
Wed, 17 Apr 2013 18:37:33 -0700

Kansas City Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles might break his career high for pass receptions this season, as head coach Andy Reid has used his backs as receivers out of the backfield in years past. Charles is perfectly fine with that. "I'm happy I can catch out of the backfield more," Charles said Wednesday, April 17. "This is the most movement I've been (asked to do) in five years in the league, shifting and motion. This is the most I've ever (done). I have to get my mind right and my body in shape for this type of offense."

FANTASY TIP: Charles was already going to be a bona fide RB1 in all fantasy formats, but he could be especially valuable in leagues which reward points per receptions (PPR). His career high for catches in a season is 45, set during the 2010 campaign.

Chiefs | Jonathan Baldwin off to strong start
Wed, 17 Apr 2013 18:36:46 -0700

Kansas City Chiefs WR Jonathan Baldwin is off to another strong start in voluntary workouts this spring. He also had a strong start last season in minicamp when the pads were off, but he disappeared once the pads went on. Baldwin was working as a starter Wednesday, April 17, after serving behind WR Donnie Avery during workouts Tuesday, April 16. "Jon is working hard," head coach Andy Reid said. "He is a unique specimen being as big as he is. He can do some things that other people can't do just by size and strength. It's important he puts himself into position to do that."

Actually don't need to draft a RB IMO until the 5th or 6th round. For sure one on the bigger side.

True, but there is a difference when Andy Reid is saying it versus Romeo saying it.

Considering what we have at the TE position- this does make sense. Also since Balwin can't seem to shake anyone going deep-maybe the short routes might at least get the ball in his hands once in awhile.

If we end up taking a LT one overall, get a 2nd for Albert that could be used for a OLB or S, then RB in the 3rd could work. The more playmakers on offense the better. I feel like the last few years if charles isnt on the field, we don't move the ball at all.

Use the FB for the short yardage stuff. When Charles needs a break put in Gray. This kid just needs a chance he is really gonna be good enough to be the #2 to JC.
Don't use any draft picks on RB/FB this year. We will be fine.
