The Chiefs are off to a horrible start, and Jamaal Charles' light load against the Bills was puzzling. On Monday we found out that Charles said his reconstructed knee felt sore, so the Chiefs coaching staff wisely held him out of much action in the second half.

Charles is likely to go against the Saints this week, but keep an eye on his practice workload or lack there of to determine if he’s worth starting. If Charles is limited or out of practice through Friday, we should feel safe about having Peyton Hillis in our lineups as a flex play.

Steven Jackson's Health

After being held out because of a “groin injury” Steven Jackson said he should recover fairly quickly. Yeah, well if he’s able to put himself through full practices this week, we can go ahead and chalk this injury up as a benching last week for his unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.

Jackson ran well last week but so did rookie Daryl Richardson so expect the youngster to work with him in some type of committee this week.
