Charcandrick West practices in full, fantasy value rising
The Chiefs appear set to get a key piece of their offense back on Sunday. We break down the fantasy implications.

West exited Week 11's blowout win over the San Diego Chargers due to a hamstring injury, and was also held out of Week 12's matchup with the Buffalo Bills. Spencer Ware filled in for West and totaled 216 yards and three touchdowns over a two-game span, and could still be a factor when West takes the field once again.
Fantasy impact: West has performed well in relief of Jamaal Charles, and his job should not be considered in danger despite Ware's capability in his place. But with the possibility of a one-two punch looming due to the effectiveness of both, fantasy owners need to prepare for the possibility of West's usual workload being reduced, especially if he is not 100 percent healthy.
West remains a solid RB2 for Sunday's game against the Oakland Raiders, while Ware would be best left on benches across the board if West gets the start.
