Spencer Ware

Ware's knowledge of the offense paid off late in the season when the Chiefs were lacking depth at the position due to injury, resulting in Ware's addition to the roster. Unfortunately, his campaign ended just three weeks after it began due to a rotator cuff tear, landing him back in the free-agent market this offseason with an injury to boot. He'll likely have to prove to teams he's healthy ahead of 2020 before landing a gig.

With that, LeSean McCoy -- a healthy scratch Week 16 -- is a candidate to be active for Sunday's game against the Chargers, while fellow running backs Damien Williams and Darwin Thompson remain on as the Chiefs head into Week 17 and approach the upcoming postseason.

Ware didn't look to be in too much discomfort on the sidelines, but there's a good chance the Chiefs leave him out the rest of the way in a game that they're dominating. Expect Ware to maintain his role in the team's running back rotation moving forward.

It was just his second game back in red and yellow, but Ware managed to tie for the team lead among running backs with nine touches Sunday. The Chiefs have split up the workload among Ware, Darwin Thompson and Shady McCoy in Damien Williams' (ribs) three-game absence, making it hard to put much faith in any of them. Ware, signed just two weeks ago, certainly has the freshest legs of the bunch, but -- whether or not Williams is ready Sunday -- Ware is a tough play against a very stout Chicago run defense.
