The Facts:
When the Chiefs said X-rays were negative on running back Jamaal Charles‘ foot, we pointed out that negative (which is positive) X-rays may not be dispositive. Since then, we’ve reported that Charles’ foot is “fine.” However, that doesn’t mean he’ll play in the team’s second preseason game, against the 49ers. As one source with knowledge of the situation has explained it, don’t be surprised if Charles doesn’t play. However, don’t be alarmed, either.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The source went on to tell PFT's Mike Florio that Charles would play if it were a regular-season game. Which is when fantasy owners want him playing. So a cautious approach should be viewed as a positive given what we know now. In the meantime, rookie third-rounder Knile Davis, who has rocketed to No. 2 on the depth chart, will get more opportunities with the starting offense (subscribers can hit our
