The Chiefs' website refers to the team's backfield as a "running back by committee" situation following Jamaal Charles' torn ACL.
KCChiefs.com calls Thomas Jones, Dexter McCluster, Le'Ron McClain, and Jackie Battle all candidates for carries. Jones, now 33 years old, has 14 rushing attempts for 43 yards (3.07 YPC) through two games. McCluster will probably play the most snaps because Kansas City will so often be trailing. Aside from McCluster, it's a situation to avoid in fantasy leagues.

Jones is old, McClain is a wash, McCluster is the only one worth going for unless you are playing with deep rosters.
