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.

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
