Do the math.

I can do the math. Nothing is stopping you from running a 2-back set in a 2-TE formation where you keep one receiver and motion another receiver into the slot, especially on running downs. You can run 2-TE sets on 3rd down situations where you keep McCluster in the backfield and motion him into the slot as a third receiver in an empty backfield. McCluster would be involved in all 3- or 4-WR sets where you keep one TE in the game (probably being Moeaki). And McCluster and Charles would both be in the game when the Chiefs run the wildcat, which I have a feeling we'll see a few times per game.

And ultimately, when Jones is gone, it will probably come to a point where Charles/McCluster will be splitting carries out of the set.

There is most definitely a way you can feature quite a few 2-TE sets and keep both Charles and McCluster involved in a lot of reps.
