“Is he ready to carry it every down? I don’t think that’s where were at right this minute,” Reid said of Charles. “But he got more carries than he did against Pittsburgh, and his attitude — from the get go — has been give me the ball, I want to play. The attitude is awesome.”

Andy Reid

“I leave all that to Coach Reid,” Charles said, when asked if his limited playing time Sunday was injury related. “I’m healthy, so that doesn’t have anything to do with it.”

Jamaal Charles

Well, it looks like we got ourselves a little locker room issue in Kansas City. Spencer Ware out-touched Jamaal Charles 26-11 and out-snapped Charles 40-15 in their Week 6 win against the Raiders, even though Charles claimed that he was 110-percent. We were sorta high on a Charles coming back from injury, but it looks like his coach has more faith in Ware. Until further notice, Ware will continue to be the safer fantasy play.

This is unfortunate for Terrelle Pryor — who’s coming off a 28.84 PPR day — since he has a history of hamstring and soft tissue injuries. It looks as of now that even though he’s listed day-to-day, he will most likely be out for Week 7. Pryor’s injury devastates what’s left of the Browns offense and will only hurt the production of Gary Barnidge, Isaiah Crowell and Duke Johnson.

The Steelers released this statement on Ben Roethlisberger, which didn’t tell us much. The surgery was successful; however, there is still no timetable. No matter how brave Big Ben is, he’ll 100-percent be out for next week’s game against the Patriots, then maybe come back after the bye week. Antonio Brown owners have a right to be worried, as he’s never caught a touchdown pass from anyone not-named Roethlisberger. We’ll keep you updated on Brave Ben.

Christine Michael owners can continue to rejoice. Even though Thomas Rawls would not have stolen the job back from Michael, he might have stolen some third down duties. Sorry if you picked Rawls high, because he’s officially fantasy irrelevant for 2016.

Quick Hits

  • Colin Kaepernick will remain the starter for Week 7
  • It looks like Cody Kessler will continue to be the starter over Josh McCown, even when McCown returns from injury
  • Dez Bryant told a reporter, “Don’t have to ask me anymore, I’m good…playing against Philly”
  • Stefon Diggs (groin) did not practice on Monday

  • Jordan Matthews is dealing with knee tendinitis, but should not miss any time on Sundays
