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

I don't know that the Chiefs will be playing from behind a ton.  That defense is legit and starting to get healthy.  Ryan won't complete a lot of passes laying on his back.

I hear where you are coming from, but I just can't see sitting Ware for West.

Oh, yea I definitely wouldn't start West over him because I would go insane if this was the week Ware finally went off, but I just wouldn't be surprised if the game turned out that way. Atlanta's run D isn't very good so there's definitely a chance Ware has a good game, it's just we've been saying the same thing for weeks now. I'm starting Ware in my leagues, FWIW. He's putting up solid yardage numbers, he really just needs to get into the endzone to have good/monster games. Hopefully he's saving all his TD's for the fantasy playoffs.

Yeah it's hurting Ware's receiving numbers. They aren't giving the ball to West when he's in there but still that doesn't help Ware. Ware is clearly the KC RB of choice but for some reason Reid doesn't view him as the teams best 3rd down back..........Not sure why Reid views West as an upgrade in those situations over Ware but he does.

Honestly, I think the explosion of Tyreke Hill has hurt Ware receiving numbers more than the presence of West.

Not sure how I feel about Ware this week due to them being in Atlanta, where Ryan is really good and can put up a lot of points. As another guy said above, wouldn't be surprised if it's a West week due to the Chiefs being down and Reid's weird obsession with using West as a passing down back.

I'm liking Ware's schedule for the playoffs though. 3 home games against mediocre/bad run defenses.

I think this is a concern. If the Falcons get up, we may see a lot of West. Falcons are near the bottom of the league in rush att/g but top in RB targets/g.

Yea, saw the Falcons are not good against receiving backs. If only Reid used Ware as a receiver, I would be very confident about the matchup.

 
ware is what he is at this point.  despite passing the eye test as a receiver he is rarely used in passing situations or on 3rd down.  he's a 1&2 down back who will get 15-20 carries and perhaps a catch or 2.  the role he has, has resulted in middle to back end RB2 production (despite being ranked a low end Rb1 every week by the experts)

 
I have him in two of my ppr leagues. Playing him in 1.  Very much leaning towards starting Jordan Howard over him as my rb2 in the other--as well as starting z. Ertz over him in my flex (mainly because jordan matthews is inactive). I'm on the fence between him and ertz--but in ppr--i feel like ertz has a higher floor this week.  

 
Fully expecting another mediocre game. Seems like that's what he does. Hasn't been a very exciting play lately. Realizing just how special Jamaal Charles was....

 
Top5 this week since so many jump ship.

starting him over Hyde, Eifert/Graham, Garçon, Gabriel...and a couple of those I expect to be good showings but KC really needs this game today and they have been very competitive. Ware will allow them to shorten the game. 

 
Deciding between him and Blount. Can't seem to pull the trigger on Ware and think I'm going to regret it. This is the week Ware goes off.

And that's what we've all been saying. Glad to see you finally come around.

Maybe you but I didn't see anybody mention anything about it being an overall offense problem. I'm quite happy to have Ware on my dynasty team for the playoff run and heading into next year.
