Clyde Edwards-Helaire Fantasy

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.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (shoulder) was able to log a full practice session Wednesday, a huge positive when it comes to a potential return to action for Sunday's game. Jerick McKinnon served as the team's RB1 during its Wild Card Round victory, a role that he would likely cede to Edwards-Helaire should he ultimately receive the green light to suit up. Injuries limited the second-year back to just 10 games during the regular season, but he averaged 11.9 carries per outing when healthy. While Patrick Mahomes and his explosive pass-catching weapons garner most of the DFS appeal, Edwards-Helaire finished the year with four rushing scores in his last five games, a glimpse into the upside he possesses amidst Kansas City's multi-faceted offense.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday night's wild-card game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Edwards-Helaire was limited in the first practice of the week, but he failed to practice the last two days and will miss his third straight game. Darrel Williams (toe), who suffered a minor toe injury in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Denver Broncos, practiced all week and is expected to play against Pittsburgh. With Edwards-Helaire officially out, Williams should once again be KC's featured back and will now be a popular DFS pick against a Steelers defense that allowed the most rushing yards per game (146.1) in the regular season. In his last full game as the lead back in Week 17, Williams had 14 carries for 88 yards and two touchdowns while adding three receptions for 19 yards.
