Bottom Line

Edwards-Helaire is coming off a disastrous 2022. He had fallen behind both Isiah Pacheco and Jerick McKinnon even before suffering a season-ending high-ankle sprain in November.

The only good news for Edwards-Helaire is that the Chiefs didn’t make any notable additions to the backfield this offseason. That at least gives him a shot to reclaim a significant role.

But Edwards-Helaire will need to show us something before we can consider him anything more than an end-of-draft flier.

What We Learned Last Year
  • Edwards-Helaire finished with career lows last season in carries (71), rushing yards (302), rushing TDs (3), and receptions (17).
  • He opened the season as the leader of a three-man committee, ahead of Isiah Pacheco and Jerick McKinnon. Edwards-Helaire’s averages over the first six games:
    • 9.8 carries
    • 42.7 rushing yards
    • 0.3 rushing TDs
    • 3.0 targets
    • 2.7 catches
    • 22.8 receiving yards
    • 0.5 receiving TDs
  • His playing time started to sink in Week 7, when he registered a 27% snap rate. He played 17% and 6% of the offensive snaps in the Chiefs’ next two games.
  • Edwards-Helaire went down with a high-ankle sprain in Week 11, was placed on injured reserve, and missed the rest of the regular season.
  • He was finally activated from IR the week before the Super Bowl but was made a healthy scratch for that game.
  • Edwards-Helaire ranked 25th among RBs in PPR points per game as a rookie in 2020 and then 29th in 2021.
  • He missed 10 games across those two seasons with ankle, hip, knee, and shoulder injuries.
  • Edwards-Helaire’s Pro Football Focus rushing grade has declined in each of the past two seasons. He ranked 58th among 67 qualifying RBs last year.
  • Edwards-Helaire was better in the passing game last year, finishing 11th among 60
    qualifying RBs. But McKinnon ranked eighth.

What to Expect in 2023
  • The Chiefs return the same backfield this season, with Pacheco entering Year 2 and McKinnon back on a 1-year deal.
  • That means there’s opportunity for Edwards-Helaire to reclaim a role, although he’ll head to training camp third in the pecking order.
  • He drew some buzz in OTAs, with HC Andy Reid noting that Edwards-Helaire looked “quick and strong.”
  • The Chiefs have ranked top-15 in total RB PPR points in four of QB Patrick Mahomes’ five seasons, including a fifth-place finish last year. So there’s plenty of fantasy production to be had here.

Isiah Pacheco, RB KC

Isiah Pacheco gets busy in primetime

Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco pounded the rock effectively in primetime, racking up 115 yards on 20 carries to go along with a TD vs. the Jets. He also snagged all 3 targets for 43 receiving yards as a pass-catcher in Week 4. Teammates Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Jerick McKinnon combined for 6 carries and 2 targets in the contest. Pacheco’s 24.5 PPR points land as the highest fantasy total in his career to date. Managers will hope for a continued streak of dominance in Week 5 vs. the Vikings.

Chiefs RB Jerick McKinnon found the end zone twice in Week 3 with 3 catches for 19 yards as a receiver. Fellow RBs Isiah Pacheco and Clyde Edwards-Helaire also had success in the blowout victory vs. the Bears, recording 15 carries apiece for a combined 117 rushing yards. Both Pacheco and Edwards-Helaire had 1 rushing TD as well. This game was a total demolition, and it’s unlikely we’ll see this many points from all three Chiefs’ backs moving forward. We’ll look forward to starting Pacheco again in Week 4 vs. the Jets.

Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco will sit out Wednesday's practice with a hamstring issue, HC Andy Reid said. Pacheco seemed to make it out of last week's win just fine, but we'll obviously need to keep a close eye on him over the next few days. His absence would leave Kansas City's backfield to Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Jerick McKinnon vs. Chicago on Sunday.

Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco handled 12 of 14 team RB carries in Week 2. He busted off 5.5 YPC, boosted by a 31-yard scamper to open the second half. Clyde Edwards-Helaire saw only three touches after showing up on the injury report with an illness. Jerick McKinnon chipped in with only 1 carry (3 targets). Week 3 turns up an excellent scoring matchup for Pacheco, who's still searching for his first TD of this season.

Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) is active for today’s game vs. the Jaguars. He tallied six carries and one target on a 22% snap rate in the opener. We're betting on less work than that for him today.

Dynasty Write-up
CEH dealt with an injury again in 2022, this time a high-ankle sprain. That allowed Isiah Pacheco and Jerick McKinnon to flourish in the Chiefs' offense. As long as that duo stays healthy, it’s tough to see a comeback-type season for the former Round 1 pick. CEH will likely play elsewhere in 2024.
