Spencer Ware, possibly the new work horse (2 Viewers)

[sontzu]

If West wasn't hurt, I doubt we would be hearing much about Charles. The Chiefs have a bye next week, so they probably wanted to rest Charles through then. Since West is down, Charles is elevated up the depth chart. I would be very surprised if we see much of Charles this week.

Tell us more about this "strategy" thing...

No problem, always happy to help out guppies.

FBG's email update: "Charles will likely still take a back seat to Spencer Ware in his first game back. It's possible that Charcandrick West's injury forced the Chiefs hand here"

KC didn't want to play JC unless they had to like they "may" have to do this week due to the injury to West. KC would have rested JC another week or two if West and Ware had remained healthy.

Any questions Nemo?

Fascinating... Truly remarkable insight into the league.

Not that I think it will happen, just throwing out the date if the Chiefs put Charles out there as an option. Gives them and other teams weeks 6-8 to see what he has left.

November 1: The NFL's trade deadline expires at 4 PM ET.

I'd be interested to hear what a guy coming off his second ACL injury who is turning 30 during the season and is due nearly $7 million next year would fetch in a trade. A 3rd round pick? Less?

Less.......maybe a 5th.

Started Spencer week one over CJ Anderson due to the Carolina D. Both players went off. Fortunately, Spence outperformed for me by one fantasy point. I am going bold again and starting Spencer over CJ Anderson. Hopefully, it will payoff again. Just a gut feeling that Anderson's ribs are holding him back and Jamal will be a non-factor for Spence.

Bloom said to start ware over McCoy . Debating it based on matchups.

 

[Ilov80s]

Glazer reporting Charles will get 10-15 snaps.

Started McCoy and Miller over Ware.

 

[Milkman]

Tyrell Williams or Ware. I have no idea what I'm going to do. Flip a coin maybe.

Don't stop believing Milkman.

Don't stop believing Milkman.

Well they're both studs. Good problem the have.

 

[SameSongNDance]

I'm flip flopping between Sims and Ware.

 

[H.Wiggen]

Right now I have Ware in at flex over Branden Cooks of NO.  I don't feel good about it at all though.

FYI, We all want to understand your opinion but your sarcasm is the equivalent of pissing in the Shark Pool.

 

[joffer]

it was a run

 

[ponchsox]

He's droppable now 

 

[jmo87usc]

Can I just get the 9 points I need from you Spencer?  Please?

 

[shadyridr]

Waiting for SSND to post videos of his fumbles

 

[bostonfred]

Ware did my job go

 

[Houston turmOiler]

Should've traded him after week 1

 

[ATB]

Charles train is a full go now. 

 

[Andrew74]

After week one did he decide to start rubbing butter on himself in warmups?

 

[Riffraff]

The stench of troll is high in this thread.

 

[shadyridr]

Been downhill ever since

 

[DocHolliday]

There's not going to be much running by any Chief now tonight.

[need2know]

Ouch

 

[Riversco]

Oh man, Bloom was telling everyone in the weekly advice thread to start Ware.

 

[C-Bound]

Still smells like Ware will dominate touches in this game.

 

[wilked]

Ware picking the wrong game to puke all over himself 

 

[need2know]

Well they are all sucking.  Not just ware.  They can't sit him

 

[sho nuff]

He will still get touches...but this thought that Charles will take any back seat (after the bye...or even 50/50) is gone with Ware's inability to hold on to the ball.

Exactly. He's basically just a handcuff now

Or don't, please.

 

[Wildcat]

So glad I started him over Matt Jones.  

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

This game is just a disaster no way to make judgments based off of this.

 

[need2know]

Anyway he can salvage like 5 to 10 points here?  Holy hell

 

[ponchsox]

I don't think he's startable coming off the bye

 

[shadyridr]

I don't think he's startable coming off the bye

No way but he's still a hold imo

 

[Cowboysfan8]

I'd be thrilled with 10. He's killing me tonight 

 

[sho nuff]

No way but he's still a hold imo

yeah...holding him as he is still a quality cuff to an older RB coming off of a major injury.

Though, how hurt is West?  What shot will he get after the bye?

 

[mozzy84]

This game is just a disaster no way to make judgments based off of this.

Another fumble is not a good sign (maybe they cut him slack with the weather). Some judgement could be made there.

6 more points will win my week.  That's all I want at this point.  A couple of catches maybe 30 yards.  Just hoping it's not the "let's showcase knile Davis for trade bait show" now that the nail is just about in the coffin.

If they don't make some stops on def we are screwed.  They already shelved charles

 

[jmo87usc]

One catch nullified by Pitt hold.   Then a drop that would have been nullified by kc penalty.  Feeling like a lost cause.  Oh well.  I guess gio Bernard was the better start after all.  Fantasy football is the devil. 

 

[Weebs210]

Learning a hard lesson(again) to start your studs.

 

[need2know]

I'm starting to hate the chiefs

Not as much as I hate the Saints.
