50 Shades of Fantasy Football, Vol. V: The knee-jerk reaction
By Mike Randle
44) Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware finished with 25 fantasy points in standard scoring leagues in a 33-27 overtime victory against San Diego.
45) Ware had 11 rushes for 70 yards and one touchdown. He also had seven receptions on eight targets for 129 receiving yards. The next productive running back for Kansas City was Charcandrick West who had three rushes for -1 yards.
46) Ware played 34 total snaps in the game. Surprisingly, West also played 34 snaps in the game.
47) Prior to this game, Ware’s career averages were: 7.5 rushing attempts, 41.3 rushing yards, 0.6 receptions, and 0.5 receiving yards.
48) Jamaal Charles is scheduled to return to the Kansas City Chiefs team during the next few weeks after recovering from ACL surgery. Charles is the career leader in NFL history with 5.5 yards per carry. This places Charles ahead of Hall of Famer Jim Brown (5.2 YPC).
49) Kansas City’s next opponent, the Houston Texans, allowed the third fewest amount of yards in the NFL last season (4,963 total yards allowed).
50) When Charles returns, the expectation is that all three running backs will play a part in each game.
