Clyde Edwards-Helaire Fantasy

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid is expected to alter the offense in a number of ways in 2021 now that receiver Tyreek Hill is in Miami. JuJu Smith-Schuster will be the team's primary slot receiver, while Mecole Hardman, the fastest player on the team, will take over Hill's role as the team's best deep threat. KC's offense will likely be more methodical and could use running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire more as a receiver. How many targets CEH receives will depend on whether the team re-signs Jerick McKinnon and/or Darrel Williams in free agency. The 22-year-old played in just 10 games last year due to injury and was targeted only 23 times in the passing game, but a bigger role in the passing game would obviously give him a much higher fantasy ceiling.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire finished with six carries for 36 yards during the AFC Championship loss to Cincinnati. He also added a catch for four yards. The sophomore was relegated to a lesser role behind Jerick McKinnon, who had 12 attempts for 65 yards and three receptions for 30 yards. Nevertheless, the 22-year-old will be entering his third season in 2022-23, although it's safe to say he hasn't met expectations during his first two years in the league. While Edwards-Helaire has potential, his health has been a significant issue, so managers should keep that under consideration during fantasy drafts moving into the new year.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (shoulder) is not on the final injury report for the Divisional Round and will play on Sunday night against the Buffalo Bills. Edwards-Helaire was able to practice in full this week and will make his return after he was injured in Week 16. The second-year running back was KC's primary RB when he was healthy, but Darrel Williams' emergence put a dent in CEH's overall fantasy upside in the Chiefs high-octane offense. In 10 games played in 2021, Edwards-Helaire had 119 carries for 517 yards (4.3 yards per carry) and four touchdowns, adding 19 catches for 129 yards and two more TDs on 23 targets. At a modest price of $5,500 at DraftKings for this weekend, Edwards-Helaire could be a potential DFS value if he doesn't lose too many touches to Jerick McKinnon or Williams (toe), if he plays.
