Draft note

by John Paulsen

There’s no denying that Kansas City is a great landing spot for any running back. Prior to Damien Williams’ opt-out, GM Brett Veach said that the backfield will be a “shared load” and that Williams will “come in as the starting running back” while the rookie “will have to come in and compete for playing time.” With Williams out of the way, Edwards-Helaire has a fairly clear path to lead back touches, though last year’s offseason star, Darwin Thompson, Darrel Williams and free agent acquisition DeAndre Washington will have something to say about it. Edwards-Helaire has a wider range of outcomes than the running backs that will be drafted around him since we’re not exactly sure how Kansas City plans to utilize him this year. The Chiefs could also add someone like LeSean McCoy or Devonta Freeman to the mix.

Reid: Le'Veon Bell "could get a couple of snaps" Week 7

John Dixon - Arrowhead Pride

Oct 23 · 4:33 PM EDT

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid told reporters Friday that Le'Veon Bell could play Sunday against the Denver Broncos. “I’m going to try to visit with him here — I was waiting until after this practice, just to see where we were at with him [and] where his comfort level was with what we’re doing,” said Reid. “But it looks like he’s picking things up well, so I think there’s a chance he could get a couple of snaps in there.”

Related Players: Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Darrel Williams

Fantasy Impact:

Bell appears to be picking up the Chiefs offense fairly quickly and could play a similar role as Darrel Williams has through six games. This could be the last week that CEH has RB1 value, or it could be that Bell simply replaces Williams in the pecking order.

KC RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Denver Broncos

The Chiefs leaned heavily on Clyde Edward-Helaire last week, giving him a season-high 30 touches (four receptions). He finished with a nice season-high of 169 yards, although he didn't score a touchdown for the fifth consecutive week. Don't expect to see this type of volume moving forward as the Chiefs brought in Le'Veon Bell to this backfield. Until we actually see the Chiefs play, it's impossible to predict how CEH and Bell will split touches. For now, we'd assume CEH will still be heavily involved considering his production. We're projecting around 20 touches for CEH this week and 5-7 touches for Bell.

Perhaps a bigger threat to CEH's value this week is a brutal matchup against the Broncos who are No. 1 in aFPA to running backs. A big reason for that is Denver has only allowed one total touchdown to running backs this season, the fewest in the league. CEH is still a low-end RB1 play this week.
