Fantasy Football Week 13: Spencer Ware Central

NFL: Kansas City Chiefs at Oakland Raiders — Kelley L Cox-USA TODAY Sports

This page is a hub that houses all questions pertaining to Kansas City Chiefs RB Spencer Ware after Kareem Hunt was cut following the release of a brutal domestic violence video. Spencer Ware is now the lead back of the 9-2 Chiefs and while our projections place him in the top 10 running backs against the Oakland Raiders this week with 22.5 PPR points and 19.5 Non PPR points, projections do not always paint the full picture due to a player’s ceiling vs. his floor. Fellow Chief, Tyreek Hill, is the perfect example. While we project that he will produce 23+ points this week, his ceiling is 40 points.

With all that being said, lets see what the Senior Experts at FullTime Fantasy Sports think about Spencer Ware compared to some other potential big names in Week 13.

Week 13 Running Back Questions

Spencer Ware or Matt Breida

Dr. Roto: Ware – Worried about the 49ers falling flat in Seattle
Adam Ronis: Ware – The Raiders have allowed 1,481 rushing yards to running backs, 4.9 yards per carry and Ware has had success in the NFL. He’s in a high-powered offense that will get plenty of scoring opportunities. Breida is hurt by a bad offense.
Shawn Childs: Ware
Bill Enright: Breida

Spencer Ware or Austin Ekeler

Dr. Roto: Ware EVEN with Ekeler – Like Ware’s chances of a TD more but Ekeler will pile points on in PPR
Adam Ronis: Ware – Ware gets the edge for a better matchup and more scoring opportunities.

Dr. Roto: Ware

Week 13 Flex Questions

Spencer Ware or Demaryius Thomas

Dr. Roto: Ware – Still don’t trust Demaryius.
Adam Ronis: Ware – Thomas has nine targets in three games with the Texans. Deshaun Watson has 25 pass attempts or fewer in six straight games. If Thomas doesn’t score a touchdown, the floor is very low.
Shawn Childs: Ware
Bill Enright: Ware

Spencer Ware or Josh Gordon

Dr. Roto: Ware – Too many weapons for Brady that I think Ware’s floor is higher than Gordon’s.
Adam Ronis: Ware – Ware will get the ball more. Gordon saw five targets last week with Rob Gronkowski back and Sony Michel getting heavy volume and Gordon has a tough matchup against the Vikings.
Shawn Childs: Ware
Bill Enright: Ware

Spencer Ware or Kenny Golladay

Dr. Roto: Golladay
Adam Ronis: Ware – While I like Golladay a lot and he should get a lot of targets, there’s a chance it doesn’t result in a big day if Matthew Stafford doesn’t have time to throw. The volume will be there for Ware.
Shawn Childs: Ware
Bill Enright: Ware

Spencer Ware or Emmanuel Sanders

Dr. Roto: Ware
Adam Ronis: Ware – Sanders is an excellent play, but Ware has the higher floor.
Shawn Childs: Ware
Bill Enright: Ware

Spencer Ware or T.Y. Hilton

Dr. Roto: Ware
Adam Ronis: Ware – Hilton is a good play. The Jaguars defense isn’t the dominating force it was and Jalen Ramsey could sit, but Ware is the better play.
Shawn Childs: Ware
Bill Enright: Ware

Spencer Ware or Calvin Ridley

Dr. Roto: Ware
Adam Ronis: Ware – Ridley is averaging six targets per game and is touchdown dependent.
Shawn Childs: Ware
Bill Enright: Ware

Spencer Ware or Tyler Lockett

Dr. Roto: Ware
Adam Ronis: Ware – While Lockett has been excellent and scored in every game except three, Ware is the better play.
Shawn Childs: Ware
Bill Enright: Ware

Overall Ware Predictions

Week 13 PPR Floor vs. Ceiling

Dr. Roto: 13-28 points
Adam Ronis: 16-32 points
Shawn Childs: 14-30 points
Bill Enright: 17-30 points

Week 13 PPR vs. Non PPR prediction

Dr. Roto: 16 carries for 64 yards rushing, 3 receptions for 39 yards and 1 TD = 19.3 PPR points & 16.3 Non-PPR points

Adam Ronis: I see Ware as a Top 10 RB this week. He has a good shot for 100 yards rushing and a touchdown or two and 3-4 receptions. PPR Projection: 19 | Non-PPR Projection: 16

Shawn Childs: 19 carries for 101 yards rushing, 3 receptions for 34 yards and 1 TD = 22.5 PPR points & 19.5 Non-PPR points

Bill Enright: Firm believer in the importance of handcuffing the RIGHT players. For nearly two decades we’ve seen running backs in Andy Reid’s system excel in fantasy football production. Whether it was Brian Westbrook, LeSean McCoy, Jamaal Charles, or Kareem Hunt, the Offensive Scheme is often more important than the individual player and when it comes to backs in Reid’s system, it really is that simple of plug-n-play.

Dating back to Week 8, the Raiders have allowed: 132 yards (Marlon Mack), 86 yards (Raheem Mostert), 93 yards (Melvin Gordon), 137 yards (David Johnson), and 118 yards (Gus Edwards). Oakland also allowed four rushing TDs in those five games. The minimum for Ware is 75 yards on the ground and 35 yards receiving with a strong chance to find the end-zone.

The Chiefs are a two touchdown favorite over the Raiders, so when the 4th Quarter rolls around, don’t expect to see Patrick Mahomes dropping back and chucking it 70 yards downfield to Tyreek Hill. Instead we should all expect a lot of hand-offs to Ware who will be a Top 12 RB in ALL formats the rest of the season… Spencer Ware is a League Winner!!!

As you can see, the experts are VERY high on Spencer Ware this week… and for the rest of the season. If you are asking “Who do I Start” and Ware is one of the options, he is most likely the answer in his juicy matchup against the Oakland Raiders!
