loaf Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 just got this little nugget off ESPN Ware will be the starter and get a significant share of the featured back's workload, but West will play. Game situations will determine how much, but the Chiefs preferred to play West over Ware when they ventured into the red zone last season. West played 69 snaps inside the opponent's 20-yard line last year. Ware was in the lineup on 22 such plays. -- Adam Teicher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West was the bellcow after Charles went down, until he got hurt too - then Ware burst onto the scene and surprised everyone (the Chiefs' coaching staff included). By the time Ware started getting meaningful work, it was week 11 and West had already logged about 100 carries (and I don't know how many RZ snaps). Would be much more meaningful to compare redzone work when it was actually a RBBC, which was only 4 weeks of the season. I don't have the numbers, but Ware is a much more powerful runner and certainly seemed to be the goal line / short yardage back of choice.

WildTurkey Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Ware is a beast and will have the job locked up by the end of week 2. At least that's my hope, as I drafted him too highly in every league I'm in. The beast part is at least right. The guy runs angry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medalofhonor Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 If Spencer Ware keeps playing like he did today, he will eventually take over Charles' job. I mean why would anyone in their right mind not give Ware the most snaps next week after this performance ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irish Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Ware vs SD today The thing that struck me about that video was how hard he is to bring down and what a tough runner he is. Also,however,is how quick Charles really is in comparison (if he returns as himself). When I watched Charles play, he is lightning quick! These 2 are gonna make for a dizzying combo.

pun Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Andy Reid has one hell of a resume when it comes to RBs. the Chiefs in general too. it's pretty incredible how they went from Priest to Johnson to Charles the past 15 years and had a top 5 back almost the entire time. how many other teams can say that?

I agree and I was thinking the same thing. From a fantasy perspective, you can always count on a Chief RB and TE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bud29 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Did he step out prior to hitting the pylon with the ball? He started bobbling the ball, briefly regained control and hit the pylon, then lost it again. Refs ruled that he never regained control and just fumbled it out of the endzone, but that picture seems to indicate he had good control while crossing the plane.
