Charles should be top guy for KC
News: One game into the post-Larry Johnson era is all it took for the Kansas City Chiefs to get their first rushing touchdown, first 100-yard rushing day and second win of the year. This week's opponent, the Pittsburgh Steelers, may mount more of a challenge than the mistake-prone Oakland Raiders did in Sunday's 16-10 victory. But the Steelers would be wise to prepare for Jamaal Charles as KC's featured back. It would seem a richly deserved reward for his long TD run and 103 yards rushing in the first game since former Pro Bowler Johnson was released amid a cloud of controversy. With more speed than Johnson showed in even his best years, Charles broke loose on one key play and sped 44 yards into the end zone, erasing the stigma the Chiefs had been carrying as the only NFL team without a rushing touchdown. He also picked up 26 yards on a fourth-quarter drive as the Chiefs tried desperately to run time off the clock. It seemed especially gratifying for somebody who'd spent part of the season in the coach's doghouse for fumbling. The second-year pro had gotten so crosswise with coaches, he'd even been inactive for one game. A fumble in those last minutes on Sunday could have proven fatal. "It wasn't something I was thinking about," coach Todd Haley said Monday. "He'd had a bunch of carries under his belt and he was protecting the football.

Charles scored on a 44-yard run for Kansas City's first rushing
Charles scored on a 44-yard run for Kansas City's first rushing touchdown of the season and had 18 carries for 103 yards Sunday in a 16-10 win at Oakland.
Impacts: It was a surprising effort after Charles entered with 152 yards rushing on the season. Fantasy owners should stay away from him because he is done facing the Raiders.
