Charcandrick West Projected Stats for 2016:

Rushing Attempts: 105

Rushing Yards: 450

Rushing Touchdowns: 3

Receptions: 12

Receiving Yards: 115

Receiving Touchdowns: 1

Fumbles: 1

For the 24-year-old Ware, it’s probably not very surprising that I also expect a decline in production from his 2015 numbers with Jamaal Charles back in the mix.

Spencer Ware Projected Stats for 2016:

Rushing Attempts: 62

Rushing Yards: 306

Rushing Touchdowns: 2

Receptions: 3

Receiving Yards: 5

Receiving Touchdowns: 0

Fumbles: 1

For the great Charles, he will be coming off of his second major ACL injury of his career, so it’s still somewhat unknown how he will do in live game action after not playing in a game since early October of last year. That being said, I still see Charles putting together a solid, not spectacular ’16 regular season for the red and gold.

Jamaal Charles Projected Stats for 2016:

Rushing Attempts: 205

Rushing Yards: 1,081

Rushing Touchdowns: 7

Receptions: 32

Receiving Yards: 274

Receiving Touchdowns: 1

Fumbles: 3
