Number 11, RB, Jamaal Charles.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock or you just don’t care, Jamaal Charles is a really good running back. With Andy Reid in the mix, Charles took his game to a whole new level and had a serious case for MVP of the league in 2013. PFF had this to say about Charles,

"“Charles may have ended up with a higher yards per attempt mark in 2012, but we were more impressed with his running in 2013 as evidenced by such a high placed finish. Of course with Andy Reid in town it wasn’t just his rushing that wowed us as Charles was a more potent (and reliable) weapon in the receiving game, and it was that which pushed him so far up this list along with an incredibly strong (five green graded games on the bounce) finish to the regular season.“"

Best Performance: Week 15, KC @ OAK, +4.9

Key Stat: Averaged 1.75 yards per route run, the most of any feature back.

PFF left Charles off their list in 2012 entirely, though he had a great season. I guess they heard the calling this year, putting him at number 11. Only LeSean McCoy and Marshawn Lynch ranked higher for running backs.
