Fantasy Football: Jaamal Charles Injury 3 Possible Replacements for Owners

With ESPN reporting that Jaamal Charles has a torn ACL and will not return this season, fantasy owners of Charles will no doubt be looking for a replacement for their standout running back.

Here are three possible pick ups that can help ease fantasy owners pain and get them some relief.

1. Ronnie Brown

According to Yahoo Sports statistics, Ronnie Brown is only owned by 29 percent of owners, which means he is most likely available in your league.

As the season goes on, Brown should be used more and more backing up LeSean McCoy, meaning he will get meaningful yards and have scoring opportunities as well.

2. Thomas Jones

It only makes sense to pick up Jaamal Charles' back up Thomas Jones. At the time of this article, only 34 percent of owners have Jones on their roster, which will change drastically as more and more owners catch wind of Charles' ACL tear.

Hop on Jones now if you want to keep your points within the Chiefs organization.

3. Dexter McCluster

Sticking with the Chiefs and taking a gamble on the other active running back that will be used in Charles' absence, Dexter McCluster would also be a smart pick up. McCluster and Jones will most likely split the load between the two, making it a toss up of who you should pick up. 

With only 25 percent of owners with McCLuster in their teams according to Yahoo Sports, you might have a better chance picking up McCluster over Jones.
