Spencer Ware not practicing Wednesday, fantasy status unclear for Week 15
The Chiefs may have to turn to Charcandrick West in a featured role once again with Spencer Ware ailing. We break down the fantasy implications.

Ware exited Sunday's matchup with the San Diego Chargers with a rib injury, and although his X-rays were negative, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Monday that Ware remained "bruised, swollen and in pain." Charcandrick West would be thrust into a featured role if West remains sidelined on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens.
Fantasy impact: West’s owners need to monitor Ware’s status closely as practices throughout the week progress, as he would be in line for a workload and matchup that could make him one of fantasy football’s preferred plays for Week 15. If Ware gets the nod, he would be more of a flex option in standard leagues, and hard to trust even against a depleted Ravens defense.
With West being the more versatile of the backs in Kansas City, he remains on the RB2/flex radar if Ware suits up. If he sits, West is firmly in RB1 territory and could give fantasy owners a much desired boost in the playoffs.
