NFL running back Jamaal Charles is a 2017 fantasy football sleeper and ADP draft value. Target him as an undervalued RB in your fantasy football drafts.
BALLER MOVE: Target ~140
CURRENT ADP: ~160
ANALYSIS: I took the once-first round talent Jamaal Charles in the 13th round of a 12-team PPR league last night, and I had to go take a bath afterwards because I felt so dirty. I won't lie, I probably wouldn't have made the pick if Charles hadn't gone out and gained 42 yards on six touches, officially making the Broncos' roster the other night. But hey, for every 10 speculations there's one deep, deep sleeper in the making.
C.J. Anderson is known to miss a couple of games each year, which is nice, but Devontae Booker is there too. And remember, Charles barely made the team. So, yes I get it, this is a long, long reach to say the least. Still, he should get a few backfield screen touches at the bare minimum in the first few games, and an impressive showing wouldn't be the craziest thing in the world.
In reality, what else are you going to do with your 12th or 13th pick? Take Robert Woods or Travis Benjamin in crowded situations? We know how much the running back landscape can change in an instant, so you might as well spend that fourth or fifth bench spot on a guy who may make a difference when injuries start ruining fantasy seasons in Week 3, at least until the bye weeks begin.
