Bottom Line

The best we can say for Edwards-Helaire is that he heads to training camp as the No. 2 RB in a high-scoring offense behind a high-injury-risk starter.

Edwards-Helaire isn’t guaranteed to hang on to that spot on the depth chart, though, and wasn’t good in the two games without RB Isiah Pacheco last season.

Edwards-Helaire is only worth rostering in deeper fantasy leagues of 12+ teams.

What We Learned Last Year

  • Edwards-Helaire set career lows last year with:
    • 70 carries
    • 223 rushing yards
    • 1 rushing TD
    • 3.2 yards per carry
  • He topped six carries just three times all season, in Weeks 3, 14, and 15. Week 3 was a blowout win over the Bears. RB Isiah Pacheco missed Weeks 14 and 15.
  • Edwards-Helaire totaled just 76 scoreless rushing yards on 24 carries (3.2 YPC) across Weeks 14 and 15. He added 6 catches for 93 yards and one TD.
  • Edwards-Helaire ranked 51st among 58 qualifying RBs in Pro Football Focus rushing grade.
  • That followed 47th- and 53rd-place finishes in PFF rushing grade the previous two seasons.

What to Expect in 2024

  • Edwards-Helaire hit free agency this offseason but seemingly didn’t find much interest on the open market. He ended up re-signing with the Chiefs on a one-year, $1.7 million deal with $1.3 million guaranteed.
  • RB Jerick McKinnon, who played more snaps and ran more pass routes than Edwards-Helaire last year, remains unsigned.
  • The rest of the Chiefs’ depth chart behind starter Isiah Pacheco:
    • Deneric Prince
    • Louis Rees-Zammit
    • Keaontay Ingram
  • Edwards-Helaire should head to training camp as the favorite for the No. 2 RB job, but his play over the last three years doesn’t guarantee him anything.
  • Whoever wins the No. 2 job in Kansas City will be squarely on the fantasy radar. Our Injury Predictor gives Pacheco a 90.4% chance of injury this season and 3.40 projected games missed – both second most among RBs.

Isiah Pacheco, RB KC

4:08pm EDT 9/16/24

Isiah Pacheco Expected To Miss 6-8 Weeks

Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco is expected to miss 6-8 weeks with his fractured fibula, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. The Chiefs have a Week 6 bye, which will save Pacheco a game. But this timeline means he'll be out at least through Week 8 and potentially through Week 10.

Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco fractured his right fibula in Sunday's win over the Bengals, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports. It's not yet clear how long Pacheco is expected to miss. He's reportedly headed for further testing on Monday to determine whether there's any surrounding damage and his return timeline.

The Chiefs have placed RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire on the non-football illness list. That means he'll miss at least the first four weeks of the regular season. CEH has said he suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder related to gun violence in his youth and a particular "self-defense situation" in 2018. That makes this an evolving situation, with no certainty he'll be ready to return after Week 4.

Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco (ankle, toe) is active for today's game against the Ravens. He missed the week's first two practices before a limited Friday and "questionable" listing on the final injury report. Pacheco's gotta be somewhere south of full strength. But we're also seen no indication his role will be limited today. It's tough to downgrade him as a fantasy option on a two-game slate. Perhaps the combo of toe and ankle issues at least gives Clyde Edwards-Helaire some upside, especially if Pacheco gets knocked out of the game at any point.
