As is usually the case, we have to wait to see where Johnson lands. If a team signs him and makes him a starter, he’s at the very least someone worthy of a roster spot. He’s still young enough that he may be able to rekindle some of his past magic in a new system. With the Chiefs, he was trying to carry a sub par offensive unit on his back. On a better team, Johnson may be able to thrive.

That said, if he doesn’t end up on a team that will start him, it’s difficult to imagine Johnson having any value the rest of the way. His stats are poor and there’s a very real possibility that his best football is far behind him.

In Kansas City, the best fantasy football running back on their roster is Jamaal Charles. Charles is a big play speedster who is putting up good stats this season. If he gets 15-20 touches a game, he could turn into a top 15 fantasy running back.

QB Alex Smith, San Francisco 49ers
The Alex Smith Era is back on in San Francisco. The Niners are giving the reins to their team once again to the former number one overall pick. Last week, Smith looked impressive. Perhaps he can actually keep it up and live up to his potential.

RB Jamaal Charles, Kansas City Chiefs
Larry Johnson is doing everything in his power to lose his starting gig in Kansas City. If he succeeds, Jamaal Charles is likely next in line. His breakaway speed would make him an interesting player in fantasy football.

WR Kenny Britt, Tennessee Titans
It looks more and more like Kerry Collins will be out as the Titans starter. If that’s the case, Vince Young may help revive the passing game. As a result, Kenny Britt would then become a lot more valuable.

TE Fred Davis, Washington Redskins
With Chris Cooley an injury question mark, Fred Davis sees his value skyrocket. The Redskins love passing to the tight end and Davis is an adequate receiving threat.

QB Marc Bulger, St. Louis Rams
Last week, Marc Bulger looked solid in limited action. In Week 6, he’s going against the inept defense of the Jaguars. Expect a good outing from Bulger.

RB Jamaal Charles, Kansas City Chiefs
One of these weeks, Jamaal Charles is going to leapfrog the struggling Larry Johnson. Going against the Redskins in Week 6, Charles should be able to produce — if given the chance.

WR Mohamed Massaquoi, Cleveland Browns
Don’t give up on Mohamed Massaquoi just yet. With Braylon Edwards out of town, Massaquoi could very well be the Browns top receiving option. Even though he had only one catch last week, he could still become a fantasy football starter.

TE Jermichael Finley, Green Bay Packers
The last we saw of Jermichael Finley, he was tearing it up. After the bye week, the Packers could very well look for him even more. Going up against the Lions, start him with confidence.

Jamaal Charles Analysis
The one thing you can’t question about Jamaal Charles is his speed. In addition to being a football star in high school, he was also a track star. His speed in the open field is extremely impressive. That said, at 6-foot-1 and 206 pounds, Charles needs to get bigger to thrive in the NFL level. Right now, he’d get beat up after a few games.

Jamaal Charles Fantasy Projections
The NFL team that drafts Jamaal Charles will likely do so to put him in a backup role in his rookie season. Due to his speed, he could possibly be a return man on the NFL level. In 2008, Charles shouldn’t have too much value in fantasy football. However, in a couple years he could find himself as a starter if he continues to prove doubters wrong.
