I would look to trade him but I do not think you will get full value. Jamaal Charles is a running back I would target.

Not a bad idea.

How do you feel about Charles workload? Hes probably not going to get a lot of TDs.

I really like Mathews but now im really concerned about him staying healthy for the remainder of the season. When he plays he will beast.

Id try and trade him both your starting running backs are hurt and could start out slow so it wouldnt be a bad idea to look for another back

Whats nice about Charles is he does not need a large workload to have big numbers due to his 6.1 yards per carry average. In 2010 he had 230 touches for 1,467 yards with Thomas Jones. He finished in the top 5 with only five touchdowns in 2010. I think he will be fully heathy since he was injured early last season as well.

This is very true. I also think Charles will be good to go Week 1.

What back do you recommend I target next If the owner isn't willing to trade Charles?

I think Trent Richardson is a nice target. He is an injury risk, and owners might be a little to low on him because of that. He probably wil see at least 250 touches. Also you could get a little more depth although you have nice depth right now.

I think the point of the regular season is to make the playoffs. You have great WR's that will keep you afloat until your RB's are healthy. You are going to have a great duo of backs when it matters and will still be set at WR. I would stand pat
