Chiefs waive RB Cylde Edwards-Helaire

Tom Pelissero on X

Dec 16 · 5:24 PM EST

The Chiefs have waived their former first-round pick Clyde Edwards-Helaire.

Related players: Isiah Pacheco, Kareem Hunt, Samaje Perine, Carson Steele

Fantasy Impact:

CEH missed some time this season for mental health reasons, an issue that goes back several years, but the Chiefs are pretty comfortable with their backfield after signing Hunt and recently getting Pacheco back from his leg injury. The team also has Perine and Steele. CEH often played key roles for the Chiefs in their playoff runs, so he may get another chance with another team, but likely isn't going to be fantasy-worthy in typical redraft leagues this season.

Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco will have workload determined in-game

Charles Goldman on X

Nov 26 · 3:00 PM EST

Chiefs OC Matt Nagy on getting RB Isiah Pacheco back: "The best part about that is you just don't have one where they're getting worn down by the time you get to the fourth quarter."

He mentions that workload will be determined in-game, situationally.

Related players: Kareem Hunt

Fantasy Impact:

The post doesn't say Pacheco is returning this week but you can certainly read into it. The timeline for Pacheco has been late November for quite sometime, and here we are. The return of Pacheco will definitely eat into Hunt's fantasy value. Pacheco may be eased into things this week, a Friday game against the Raiders, but it's looking like playing Hunt in fantasy lineups going forward will come with risk, at least until we get a better feel for how the Chiefs are going to use both backs.

Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco officially Out for Week 12

Matt McMullen

Nov 22 · 2:02 PM EST

Charles Omenihu (knee) and Isiah Pacheco (ankle) won’t play on Sunday, per Coach Reid.

“Just taking it day-by-day,” Reid added.

Related Players: Samaje Perine

Fantasy Impact:

It was later reported that Pacheco was "healthy enough" but they're hoping to hold him back one more game with a short week coming up. This makes Hunt a volume-based RB2 in Week 12.

Chiefs WR Juju Smith-Schuster likely to play, RB Isiah Pacheco still sidelined for Week 11

Andy Reid confirmed Pacheco and Omenihu would not play against Bills but JuJu Smith-Schuster is likely to be a go

Related Players: Kareem Hunt, Deandre Hopkins, Xavier Worthy

Fantasy Impact:

Hopkins has shown a good connection with Patrick Mahomes right out of the gate, so we should keep him in WR3 territory, even with Smith-Schuster back in the lineup. The other KC WR options are desperation boom/bust plays in Week 11.
