We all know how good Kansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles is, but I don’t think anyone expected him to look this good just 10 months removed from yet another ACL tear. Still, Charles is seeing most of the first-team reps in practice and looks to be running and cutting just as well as he did before the injury. He may not play in any preseason action as a precaution, but we project him as the top fantasy running back in PPR formats for a reason.

What I expected less was to hear that Alex Smith's deep touch has returned with a vengeance, which opens up all new elements to this offense. Wide receiver Jeremy Maclin's 2015 season -- where he was 43rd in Reception NEP per target among the 86 wide receivers with at least 50 targets -- may be repeatable and even able to be surpassed. Heck, the Chiefs could support a passing attack with not only Maclin and tight end Travis Kelce but also featuring newly-christened starting wide receiver Chris Conley.
