Fantasy Impact:

Although Ware has yet to undergo an MRI -- he will have the test Saturday -- the Chiefs and Reid believe he either suffered a sprained knee or a PCL injury. His ACL is believed to be intact and fine. The good news is that Ware is not expected to be lost for the entire 2017 season. However, once the MRI results determine the ultimate extent of the injury, he could be sidelined for an extended period. Expect Kareem Hunt and Charcandrick West to handle the RB duties in Ware's absence.
