UPDATE: Charles returned for the Chiefs’ final series before halftime. May your racing heart resume its normal pace.

It’s far too early to start doing anything drastic and jabbing sharp objects into areas of your body where such an action will cause great pain. But what’s happening with Jamaal Charles right now is the kind of creative evil only the fantasy gods could imagine.
Charles is part of an early juggernaut day for the running back position in this afternoon’s games, as he had 103 rushing yards in one quarter while Adrian Peterson had 104, putting both on pace for +400 yards overall, and they also combined for three touchdowns (Charles’ came on an 80-yard run). Toss in Alfred Morris’ 68 yards in the first quarter of Washington’s game against Baltimore with a touchdown, and the three had 48 fantasy points. Pants have been soiled throughout America.

He exited early in the second quarter with an apparent shoulder injury, and he was seen with a group of trainers huddled around him on the Chiefs’ sideline. As I write this, Charles is on the bench and unable to participate in the Chiefs’ most recent drive. Annnd now you’ve soiled your second pair of pants today, only this time it’s sorrow urine. The worst.
