Kansas City Chiefs Top Position Battles – Number Six: Backup Running Back

The deepest position on the team will be a lot of fun to watch in the offseason.  It’s nice to be in a position where you can’t really get it wrong.  However, this position battle could have a lot of bearing on the future.  Injuries and age may be catching up to Jamaal Charles, and it’s important for the Chiefs to have a plan beyond the next couple of years.

a.      Charcandrick West – He’s the most ideal option to spell Jamaal Charles.  Could start for no less than 15 NFL teams right now.

b.      Spencer Ware – Prototype 3rd down back, but with something a little extra.  Like West, he could be a starter somewhere else.

c.      Knile Davis – We may be seeing the end of Knile Davis in Kansas City.  Trade option?  That would be ideal for the Chiefs.

d.      Darrin Reaves (watch out for) – The Chiefs staff loves him.  Even with the crowded roster ahead of him, he could catch a roster spot.

e.      DeAnthony Thomas (not likely) – It’s getting tough to see just how Thomas will fit on the Chiefs roster…but it certainly won’t be in this spot.
