Clyde Edwards-Helaire Fantasy

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire rushed the ball nine times for 64 yards versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl 55. He also caught both of his targets for 23 yards. The rookie had a strong start to the second half with a 26 yard run, but the Chiefs trailed the entire game and that limited his usage on the evening. Edwards-Helaire had an up and down rookie campaign, but is projected to enter next season as the teams top option out of the backfield. He will have RB2 value heading into next years draft.

Kansas City Chiefs rookie running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle, hip), who was questionable going into the AFC Championship game against the Bills last weekend, was removed from the injury report for the Super Bowl against the Buccaneers on Feb. 7. Edwards-Helaire was limited in practice on Wednesday but was able to get in full sessions on Thursday and Friday. The 21-year-old suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 15 and returned in the win over Buffalo, rushing the ball only six times for seven yards. He'll remain risky in the Super Bowl against a Tampa defense that allowed the second-fewest fantasy points per game to running backs in the regular season, including just eight rushing TDs. Darrel Williams will remain involved and Le'Veon Bell (knee) is expected to play, but CEH should see a more substantial workload with another full week to get closer to full strength.

Kansas City Chiefs rookie running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle, hip), offensive tackle Mike Remmers (groin) and guard Andrew Wylie (ankle) were all full participants in practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Edwards-Helaire returned in the AFC Championship win over the Bills last weekend and should be good to go for the Super Bowl against the Buccaneers on Feb. 7. The 21-year-old had only six carries for seven yards and caught one pass for no gain in the win over Buffalo, but he could be a bigger part of the game plan against Tampa with two more weeks to get closer to full strength after a high-ankle sprain kept him out since Week 15. CEH will be the more popular DFS pick in the big game, but Darrel Williams will continue to be involved and will have sleeper appeal at a lower cost. Edwards-Helaire ran the ball 181 times for 803 yards and four rushing touchdowns in 13 regular season starts.
