Thomas Jones and Jammal Charles - who's handcuffing who?

[bounce]

I drafted Charles in the 3rd, and thought I reached for Jones in the 9th to handcuff him. Turns out, I may have stolen Jones in the 9th, and reached like heck for Charles.

Who's the starter and who's the handcuff? Are both/either worth starting?

Anyone else have this problem?

Don't be fooled by KC's 2-0 start. I think in the grand scheme, they're not much better than they were last year, and will find themselves trailing often. Doesn't bode well for the running game. I like Jones, but I still think Charles is the guy you want. In last year's second half, only Chris Johnson had more fantasy points.

This whole thing is a nightmare...I was a Charles owner last year and gladly picked him up in the 4th round for this year. I will continue plugging in JC for the flex every week until I'm forced to bench him. I've watched both games and KC is veeeery lucky to be 2-0 right now. Trust that things will get much worse and that JC will be used more. Matt at QB is just plain awfull at this point...zero ability to move the ball. KC at some point will need to use Charles....I'm just baffeled at this point that TJ has done this well behind KC's line.

I'm a J.Charles fan, he has so much more ability.......Jones is just stealing Charles carries

Bounce I have the same problem, i have both. I refuse to start jones over charles but then again I have matthews and foster so I have options. Todd Haley and Charlie Weis are screwing our fantasy teams. In the long run I think they'll realize that Charles is the better option. With Charles break away speed and his ability to catch balls out of the backfield you have to start him over jones. Good luck, I hope Charles gets rolling just as much as you do.

I was able to pick up JC in the 10th round and do just what I've done with him...wait for that opportunity to bring him off the bench to start when/if he starts to get featured more. He has huge upside, but as long as they keep the ball out of his hands I can't see starting him ahead of my reliable R.Rice/SJax (despite both of their frankly disappointing slow starts).
