The Kansas City Chiefs are no longer listing Spencer Ware on the injury report, which means he is good to go vs. the Carolina Panthers in Week 10.

Ware suffered a concussion in Week 8 that kept him sidelined in Week 9. He has since cleared the NFL concussion protocol and should be good to go this week after fully practicing all three days.

With Jamaal Charles on injured reserve and Charcandrick West doing very little, Ware will continue to be the featured running back in a Chiefs offense that is relying heavily on him.

In seven games this season, Ware has 102 runs for 511 yards with two touchdowns to go with 17 catches for 313 yards and one score.

Fantasy Impact: Yahoo! ranks Ware as the 16th-best running back in Week 10. He faces a Panthers defense allowing the sixth-fewest fantasy points to running backs this season.

This is a tough call against a tough front seven with Ware coming off an injury, but he has been too key to this offense to take out of your starting lineup. Start Ware on Sunday.
