Chiefs Beat: Improved RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire makes team harder to defend

Oct 05, 2021

Clyde Edwards-Helaire’s improvement in the past two weeks — the first two-game stretch of at least 100 rushing yards in his career — could make the task of defending the Chiefs’ offense even harder for opponents.

Fantasy Impact:

CEH didn’t have a negative play in his 16 touches. Another major positive was that he didn’t fumble the ball, which occurred in the previous two games, turnovers that impacted the Chiefs’ surprising losses. Since his second fumble, Edwards-Helaire has generate 191 all-purpose yards and two receiving touchdowns on 29 touches, the story all said. There's been some talk, especially in keeper and dynasty leagues, that it's time to cut bait with CEH, but if the Chiefs continue to trust him going forward it will make the offense much more of a balanced attack.

Raiders RB Alexander Mattison set to return Week 15, Sincere McCormick still starting

Antonio Pierce stated that Sincere McCormick will remain the team’s starting running back even with Alexander Mattison nearing a return this week.

“He deserves it. … He has run his tail off.”

Related Players: Ameer Abdullah

Fantasy Impact:

At 2-11, the Raiders would be silly to not see what they have in McCormick, with 31-year-old Abdullah and Mattison, who is on a one-year contract, only there to give the former UDFA a breather. Consider McCormick a volume-based RB3.

Giants QB Drew Lock in walking boot, Tommy DeVito set to start Week 15

Giants HC Brian Daboll told reporters that QB Drew Lock is in a walking boot due to a heel injury and Tommy DeVito now is expected to start Sunday vs. the Ravens.

Fantasy Impact:

The Ravens path to an overall D/ST1 finish on the week becomes a little clearer. DeVito can safely be kept on benches in SuperFlex leagues on a week with zero byes.

Bills WR Keon Coleman, TE Dalton Kincaid return to practice ahead of Week 15

Good news on the way for Buffalo: Bills WR Keon Coleman (wrist) and TE Dalton Kincaid (knee) are expected to practice fully today. A positive step forward in advance of the showdown with the Lions.

Fantasy Impact:

It's probably still best to start other options over Kincaid, as he takes on a Lions defense that ranks 4th in TE aFPA, but there could be a ton of points here, so if you're in a bind he makes sense as a top-15ish option.

As for Coleman, he's more in the boom/bust WR4 range as Shakir should continue standing atop the target share.
