The Running Backs

Who’s In: Spencer Ware, Kareem Hunt, Charcandrick West, Anthony Sherman

Who’s Out: CJ Spiller, Kelvin Taylor, Darrin Reaves, Will Ratelle

I don’t see this as too much of a surprise. Yes Spiller has a chance to take West’s spot as a change of pace/receiving back, but West is younger and already knows the offense so I’m giving him the advantage for now. I actually really like what I’ve seen from Darrin Reaves and wouldn’t hate it if he made the team over both West and Spiller. Ware and Hunt will likely duke it out for the starting job in camp while the others fight for that third roster spot. Running back will be one of the fun spots to keep an eye on during training camp.

Next up, the wide receivers.
