Spencer Ware or Jamaal Charles?

Kansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles looks set to return to the field this week.  Even if Charles is back, it would make sense that Spencer Ware continues to get the lion’s share of the work.  However, with the dynamic playmaking ability of Charles, there is still a chance he makes a big impact.

On the other side of the field, the Pittsburgh Steelers defense is not what we expect from that team.  The Steelers have struggled to on defense so far.  In fact, the Steelers have allowed back to back 100 yard receiving performances from running backs.  Jamaal Charles is one of the best receiving backs in the NFL, so lighting up a big play is a real possibility.

Meanwhile, Spencer Ware has also shown himself to be an excellent receiver.  On top of that, he is capable of carrying the load and being an every down back.  That makes him a viable threat to be a force throughout the game.  The Chiefs running backs are a real weapon for the Chiefs this week, so it will be interesting to see who provides the biggest impact.
