2024 Fantasy Outlook
Edwards-Helaire has seen his stock collapse since being a 2020 first-round pick, but the Chiefs used him some down the stretch last year and then brought him back on a one-year deal after his rookie contract expired. At this point, he mostly seems to be valued for his familiarity with Andy Reid's offense and competent receiving skills. Edwards-Helaire even dropped to 3.2 yards per carry on 70 attempts last year, after averaging either 4.4 or 4.3 YPC each of his first three seasons. He's no threat to Isiah Pacheco, who took over as the lead back as a rookie in 2022 and then improved considerably in 2023. Any chance for Edwards-Helaire to be useful in fantasy leagues depends on Pacheco suffering an injury, though there could be a surprising degree of value in that case, as the Chiefs offense is usually among the league's best and has little else in the way of backfield depth.

Healthy scratch in Week 9
Edwards-Helaire (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Monday against the Buccaneers.
ANALYSIS
Edwards-Helaire thus will be a healthy scratch for a third consecutive contest after spending the early portion of the season on the reserve/non-football illness list. With Isiah Pacheco (fibula) still on injured reserve, the Chiefs will continue to entrust the backfield to Kareem Hunt, while Samaje Perine and Carson Steele also will be on hand for RB reps.

2020
Edwards-Helaire never returned last year after suffering a high-ankle sprain in Week 11 -- he didn't come off IR until the Super Bowl, and then he was inactive. His opportunities dried up long before then. Edwards-Helaire was a high-volume pass catcher at LSU, but Kansas City mostly tried to feature him as a rushing specialist, then pulled the plug when it didn't work. The Chiefs declined to pick up his fifth-year option for 2024, so a trade might be better for both sides. Edwards-Helaire was always small (5-7, 207) and slow (4.60 40), so it's perhaps odd Chiefs the chose a running role for him. He is not as fast or strong as Isiah Pacheco, and it seems unlikely the Chiefs will give CEH an opportunity to displace Jerick McKinnon as the passing-down back. It may take an injury or two for Edwards-Helaire to find playing time in Kansas City.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Running behind Pacheco and Prince
Edwards-Helaire operated behind Isiah Pacheco and Deneric Prince during running back drills at training camp Tuesday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Edwards-Helaire had already fallen firmly behind Pacheco in the backfield pecking order over the past two seasons, but the 2020 first-round draft pick is in danger of slipping down another spot. Prince looks poised to challenge for the second spot on the depth chart in a Kansas City backfield that no longer employs pass-catching specialist Jerick McKinnon.
