Chiefs activate RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire

Pro Football Talk

Oct 15 · 6:30 PM EDT

Clyde Edwards-Helaire is back for Kansas City.

Per the NFL’s daily transaction wire, the Chiefs have activated Edwards-Helaire off of the non-football injury list to the 53-man roster.

Fantasy Impact:

Edwards-Helaire returned to practice earlier this month and had been dealing with physical effects stemming from post-traumatic stress disorder, including nausea and vomiting, the story said. With Hunt seemingly taking over the RB1 role, there could be a path for CEH to get back to an RB2 role, jumping ahead of Perine and Steele. The Chiefs seem to trust CEH, and HC Andy Reid was quoted in the story saying, "We're awful glad to have him here."

Chiefs Beat: Kareem Hunt could get start at RB

The Athletic

Oct 01 · 3:42 PM EDT

Kareem Hunt could be the Chiefs’ starter Monday night against the New Orleans Saints. If that happens, Carson Steele would be the primary backup, an option on short-yardage plays, and seven-year veteran Samaje Perine would remain in his role as the third-down back.

Fantasy Impact:

The story said the Chiefs will likely need Hunt to provide consistent production in the next several games to help stabilize the offense with all the injuries on that side of the ball. The 29-year-old Hunt will need to prove his legs are still fresh, and if he can, he may be the top option at RB for the team. If Hunt is still on your waiver wire, he's a must-add.

Chiefs sign RB Kareem Hunt to 53-man roster

Field Yates on X

Sep 24 · 5:23 PM EDT

The Chiefs have signed RB Kareem Hunt to their 53-man roster and waived RB Keontay Ingraham.

So, Hunt now figures into the RB rotation alongside Carson Steele and Samaje Perine.

Fantasy Impact:

Owners of any of the three RBs may have to take a wait-and-see approach as we head into Week 4. It seems like Hunt could end up eating into Steele's workload the most, but it all remains to be seen. Steele led the way in Week 3 with 17 carries to Perine's 6. Perine did have three receptions. But, It seems like Hunt could eat into any of those touches. Steele seems like the safest play among the three until we see more. The Chiefs are at the Chargers in Week 4.

Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt will not be activated for Week 3

Pete Sweeney

Sep 20 · 2:06 PM EDT

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid says Kareem Hunt will not be activated for the Falcons. Reid adds that both left tackles, Kingsley Suamataia and Wanya Morris, will see time in Atlanta.

Related Players: Carson Steele, Samaje Perine, Keaontay Ingram

Fantasy Impact:

This is going to be a difficult RB rotation to project as we head in sort of blind into Week 3. The best guess is that Steele will handle early-down work, with Perine taking care of most of the third downs, and Ingram will rotate in for a handful of snaps. We currently have Steele and Perine ranked as low-end RB3s.
