Chiefs' Spencer Ware tore PCL and LCL in right knee

Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware has been diagnosed with a torn PCL and LCL in his right knee.

What It Means:

Ware will undergo season-ending surgery, and there's some doubt about whether he will recover in time for Week 1 of the 2018 season. The fifth-year back turns 26 in November. Third-round rookie Kareem Hunt will take over as the Chiefs' workhorse back. His ADP has shot up all the way to the fourth round of standard leagues, per FantasyFootball Calculator.com.

Ware totaled 1,347 yards with 5 touchdowns in 2016 and was projected to be a top-15 back, by our models, for 2017. Hunt is now numberFire's RB13 with 151.8 projected fantasy points in standard leagues.
