Chiefs RB Spencer Ware carted off with a knee injury

Aug 25, 2017

Chiefs RB Spencer Ware is now being carted off the field after suffering a leg injury.

Update from Adam Schefter: "Chiefs think Spencer Ware suffered PCL injury, but he will undergo an MRI on Saturday to determine extent of injury. ACL thought to be fine."

Related players: Kareem Hunt, Charcandrick West

Fantasy Impact:

This is relatively good news for Ware, though his recovery will depend on the severity of the sprain, anywhere from 10 days to eight weeks. We'll have more details as they come. If Ware were to miss extended time, Kareem Hunt is the obvious beneficiary with Charcandrick West likely serving as his primary backup. Owners can expect fantasy RB2 numbers out of Hunt as long as Ware is out, and even if Ware only misses a few games, Hunt may not relinquish the starting job upon his return.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
