First look at Chiefs Jamaal Charles, Spencer Ware backfield

Oct 17, 2016

On Sunday in Oakland, the Chiefs got their first extended look at Ware and Jamaal Charles sharing their backfield and couldn’t have been more pleased with the results.

The two combined to rush for 164 yards, with 131 from Ware, and they each scored a touchdown in Kansas City’s 26-10 win over the Raiders that boosted the Chiefs' record to 3-2 and helped put them back squarely in the AFC West race.

“We have a lot of talent in our backfield and our offense will try to utilize everybody,” Ware said. “Jamaal did a good job as far as what he was asked to do. I feel like I did a good job.”

Fantasy Impact:

The two seem to complement each other well. Charles has the speed and big-play ability, Ware the power and the ability to get tough yards. Ware still had the bigger day and more touches, but that could be something that evens out as season goes on. It's also possible in more lopsided games like Week 6, Charles won't see a lot of time as a way to protect him. For now, Ware certainly seems like a usable fantasy option.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara off injury report ahead of Week 15

The Saints officially listed QB Derek Carr (left hand/concussion) as doubtful for Sunday vs. Washington. Jake Haener will make his first NFL start.

RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is off the injury report and good to go.

Related Players: Kendre Miller

Fantasy Impact:

It would have been an easy click for a Kendre Miller week if Kamara were forced to miss, but this puts the kibosh on that. Fire Kamara up as an RB2 this week in a game that may feature him even more than usual with no Carr.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker Doubtful for Week 15

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.
