The best part about Ware’s ascension is the fact that he’s just 24 years old. He’s become the best player John Dorsey’s acquired in free agency (not named Jeremy Maclin). Ware didn’t break out until Week 11 of last season, but since then, he’s been one of the team’s most productive offensive players. Kansas City appears to have its next great running back. It’s scary to think that with time, Ware can become an even better player. Especially, with Charles mentoring him.

Have I gone off the deep end to suggest that Ware has seized control of the starting running back job? Should Charles rightly return to his place as the team’s starter once he’s healthy enough to shoulder the load? Use the comment section below to chime in. As always, we appreciate your readership and support.

Until next time, Addicts!
