Spencer Ware

Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles (knee, doubtful) took limited practice reps all week and is doubtful for Week 1. Andy Reid called it a “stretch” for Charles to play this week, so we’re currently expecting Spencer Ware to carry the load with Charcandrick West serving as the change-of-pace/passing down back. (We’re not too worried about the fact that West was listed ahead of Ware on a recent depth chart.) In two games against the Chargers last year, Ware averaged 7.62 YPC, racking up 148 yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries.
