Spencer Ware

ESPN Ownership: 0%
Yahoo Ownership: 6%

Spencer Ware (who?) is a must add for Charcandrick West owners this week, particularly as we await word on the severity of the hamstring injury West suffered in Week 11. Ware performed admirably in West's stead against the leaky Chargers' run defense, posting over 100 total yards and rushing for 2 touchdowns in the Chiefs' blowout win. He was efficient to boot, posting a gaudy 0.60 Rushing NEP per rush, albeit in a very small sample size.

Ware's 6.61 Rushing NEP on just 11 carries is an unsustainable level of efficiency moving forward, but the Chiefs do get a few plus matchups in a row for whomever their running back might be in the coming weeks, as they square up against the 27th-ranked Bills', the 25th-ranked Raiders', and the 29th-ranked Chargers' run defenses, respectively, in Weeks 12 through 14. In the event that West's injury results in a single or multiple-week absence, you'll want to have Ware lined up to take advantage of those matchups.

Add Ware whether you're a West owner or not because he's likely to perform admirably if the opportunity is still there in Week 12 and beyond.
