4 Backup Running Backs Worth Targeting Late in Your Fantasy Football Draft
Not every second-string running back is created equal, but these late-round backs could be league winners.

Spencer Ware, Kansas City Chiefs

The sky is blue. Water is wet. Grass is green. Jamaal Charles is insanely good at football. These are the facts of life, and not in that order.

Seriously, you'd be hard pressed to find a true believer in sports analytics who doesn't think Charles is Kansas City Chiefs very well may have their heir apparent on their squad right now, and he looks pretty good, too. I'm talking about Spencer Ware, who our own Jacob Gibbs described as the Charcandrick West to a contract identical to Ware's likely means West would have a role if Charles went down.

Even if Ware has no standalone value, he brings big-time upside to the table should he get the chance to lead the Chiefs' backfield for any amount of time. That makes him worth a late-round pick.
