  • Leads backfield in Super Bowl loss

    Edwards-Helaire had nine carries for 64 yards during Kansas City's 31-9 loss to Tampa Bay during Super Bowl LV. He also secured two of three targets for 23 yards.

    Analysis: Edwards-Helaire resurfaced as the clear No. 1 back while Darrel Williams (two carries) and Le'Veon Bell (zero touches) were relegated to backup duties, but with the Chiefs playing from behind almost from start to finish, he wasn't afforded many opportunities. Williams (seven targets) did see more action in the passing game than Edwards-Helaire, but he also had a costly drop in the third quarter on a would-be touchdown pass from Patrick Mahomes. All things said, Edwards-Helaire put together a…read more

  • Upgrades to full practice

    Edwards-Helaire (ankle/hip) was a full practice participant Thursday.

    Analysis: This is the rookie's first full practice since he suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 15. He did return for the AFC Championship Game, but the Bills limited him to seven yards (and a TD) on seven touches and 49 percent snap share. It's possible Edwards-Helaire takes on a larger share of backfield work in the Super Bowl, at which point he'll be another two weeks removed from the initial injury.

  • Limited at practice

    The Chiefs listed Edwards-Helaire (ankle/hip) as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report.

    Analysis: Edwards-Helaire returned from a month-long absence to suit up in last weekend's 38-24 win over the Bills in the AFC Championship Game, taking six carries for seven yards and a touchdown while playing 49 percent of offensive snaps. He should be ready for the Feb. 7 Super Bowl matchup with the Buccaneers, likely splitting work out of the backfield with Darrel Williams. The Chiefs also hope to have Le'Veon Bell (knee) available, though his role isn't likely to be significant behind the top two…read more

  • Gets first career playoff TD

    Edwards-Helaire registered seven yards and one touchdown on six carries while catching one of two targets for zero yards during Sunday's 38-24 win against Buffalo in the AFC Championship Game.

    Analysis: The first-round rookie back hadn't appeared in a game since Week 15, having been beleaguered by a left ankle sprain and a left hip strain suffered during the Chiefs' win over New Orleans. Edwards-Helaire was a limited participant throughout the practice week, however, and he ultimately showed enough to the training staff to earn his first career playoff nod. While Le'Veon Bell (knee) was deemed inactive Sunday, Darrel Williams paced the backfield in carries (13) and rushing yards (52) while…read more

  • Suits up Sunday

    Edwards-Helaire (ankle/hip) is listed as active for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Bills, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.

    Analysis: Fellow running back Le'Veon Bell (knee) is inactive, so the availability of Edwards-Helaire -- who hasn't played since Week 15 -- is a welcome one for Kansas City. However, with Darrel Williams also on hand and having run well in last weekend's divisional-round win over the Browns, it remains to be how much action Edwards-Helaire will be in line to see Sunday. How Edwards-Helaire's ankle responded during warmups, as well as game flow figure to be key factors in how that plays out against…read more

  • Expected to suit up Sunday

    Edwards-Helaire (ankle/hip) is expected to be available for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Bills, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Meanwhile, fellow running back Le'Veon Bell (knee) isn't expected to play in the contest. If Edwards-Helaire -- who hasn't played since Week 15 -- indeed gains clearance ahead of the 6:40 p.m. ET kickoff, how much action he'd be in line to see is uncertain, with Schefter noting that the rookie's workload will depend on how he feels in pregame warmups. Should Edwards-Helaire end up sitting out versus Buffalo or handling only a limited role, Darrel Williams would continue to see expanded duties…read more

  • Listed as questionable

    Edwards-Helaire (ankle/hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Buffalo.

    Analysis: Le'Veon Bell (knee) also is listed as questionable, after missing practice Thursday and Friday. Edwards-Helaire was a limited participant each day this week, making his bid to play in a game for the first time since Week 15. With both Edwards-Helaire and Bell looking truly questionable, Darrel Williams could maintain a key role in the KC backfield, after he took 17 touches for 94 yards in the wild-card win over Cleveland. Bell got only three carries last week, so he could fall out of the…read more

  • Another limited practice

    Edwards-Helaire (ankle/hip) remained limited at practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Meanwhile, Le'Veon Bell (knee) didn't practice Thursday, which sets the stage for Friday's session to be pivotal with regard to the official status -- heading into Championship weekend -- of two key members of the Kansas City's backfield. At present, Darrel Williams is the team's top healthy running back option. Edwards-Helaire -- who led the Chiefs with 803 rushing yards in 13 regular-season outings -- last saw game action Week 15.

  • Limited in practice to start week

    Edwards-Helaire (ankle/hip) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Edwards-Helaire was also a limited participant last Wednesday, before downgrading to no participation Thursday and Friday and then being inactive for the Chiefs' divisional-round win over the Browns. He'll likely follow a different routine this week, as Adam Schefter of ESPN suggested the rookie running back was gearing up to play Sunday against the Bills for the first time since Week 15. Coach Andy Reid mentioned Thursday's practice as being especially important to evaluate the team's injured…read more

  • Returns to practice

    Edwards-Helaire (ankle/hip) returned to practice Wednesday, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.

    Analysis: He'll likely be listed as a limited participant in practice in what marks his first involvement of any kind since last Wednesday. The rookie running back hasn't played in a game since suffering a high-ankle sprain Week 15, but a report from Adam Schefter of ESPN last weekend suggested Edwards-Helaire was on track to return for the AFC Championship Game if the Chiefs beat Cleveland in the divisional round. Speaking to the media Wednesday, head coach Andy Reid said Thursday's practice will be the…read more

  • Sitting out Sunday

    Edwards-Helaire (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's divisional-round game against the Browns, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

    Analysis: As reported by Adam Schefter of ESPN earlier Sunday, Edwards-Helaire isn't ready to return from the left ankle sprain and left hip strain that he suffered Week 15. With the rookie first-rounder out of the lineup, Le'Veon Bell is in line to head the Chiefs backfield in their playoff opener. Behind Bell, Darrel Williams and Darwin Thompson are next up for touches at running back.

  • Unlikely to play Sunday

    Edwards-Helaire (ankle/hip) isn't expected to play Sunday against the Browns, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Edwards-Helaire sat out the final two games of the regular season due to a sprained left ankle and a strained left hip, and even with a bye week, the rookie first-rounder isn't slated to suit up in the Chiefs' playoff opener. With Edwards-Helaire likely on the sideline Sunday, Kansas City will turn to Le'Veon Bell to lead the backfield, with Darrel Williams and Darwin Thompson in reserve.

  • Faces 'uphill battle' to play

    Edwards-Helaire (ankle/hip) remains questionable for Sunday's divisional-round game against the Browns, but sources tell Ian Rapoport of NFL Network that the running back is facing "an uphill battle to play."

    Analysis: After missing the Chiefs' final two regular-season contests while battling a left ankle sprain and a left hip strain, Edwards-Helaire was generally expected to be ready to go for the divisional round following Kansas City's bye in the wild-card round. Though Edwards-Helaire started the week off on a positive note by practicing on a limited basis, he logged no activity Thursday and Friday to take a questionable tag into Sunday. Unless Edwards-Helaire demonstrates some dramatic improvement in…read more

  • Officially listed as questionable

    Edwards-Helaire (ankle/hip) did not practice Friday and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's AFC divisional-round game against the Browns, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.

    Analysis: Edwards-Helaire has now missed back-to-back practices since logging a limited session Wednesday, but Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports that the starting running back's lack of recent activity has been intentional to provide him rest, rather than representative of a setback. Coach Andy Reid hinted that Edwards-Helaire could be a true game-time decision for Sunday's contest. Le'Veon Bell and Darrel Williams will stand to lead the Chiefs' backfield if Edwards-Helaire can't go.

  • Absent Thursday

    Edwards-Helaire (ankle/hip) didn't practice Thursday, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: It's a step backward -- at least on paper -- after the rookie was a limited practice participant Wednesday. It's possible this was the Chiefs' plan all along, but it does throw some doubt on Edwards-Helaire's availability for a playoff game against the Browns on Sunday. He missed the final two weeks of the regular season after suffering a high-ankle sprain Dec. 20.

  • Logs limited practice

    Edwards-Helaire (ankle/hip) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Per Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com, Edwards-Helaire -- who last played Week 15 -- is progressing well from his high-ankle sprain, and the running back's presence at practice Wednesday bodes well for his chances of suiting up for Sunday's divisional-round game against the Browns. Time will tell if Edwards-Helaire approaches Kansas City's playoff opener with an injury designation, or if he's fully cleared to play in advance of the weekend.

    Edwards-Helaire (ankle/hip) was present for Wednesday's practice, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.

    Analysis: After Kansas City clinched the AFC's No. 1 seed in advance of the Chiefs' Week 17 game against the Chargers, Edwards-Helaire was held out of the team's regular-season finale. The running back's presence on the field Wednesday suggest that he's trending toward a return to action Sunday in the Chiefs' postseason opener versus the Browns. The Chiefs will issue their first official practice report of the week later Wednesday, revealing the extent of Edwards-Helaire's participation in the session.

  • Out for season finale

    Edwards-Helaire (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

    Analysis: Fellow running back Le'Veon Bell (knee) is listed as questionable for the contest, but with Kansas City having clinched a first-round playoff bye, depth options Darrel Williams and Darwin Thompson should both be in store for a fair share of touches regardless of Bell's status. Edwards-Helaire, meanwhile, will set his sights on being ready to play in time for the Chiefs' postseason opener Jan. 16 or 17.

  • Remains sidelined Thursday

    Edwards-Helaire (ankle) didn't practice Thursday, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.

    Analysis: The same applies to fellow running back Le'Veon Bell (knee). If both players end up ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers -- which is plausible given that Kansas City (with the AFC's No. 1 seed clinched) plans to rest some key players this weekend -- the next players up in the team's RB pecking order are Darrel Williams and Darwin Thompson, with Elijah McGuire a candidate to be elevated from the practice squad.

  • Remains absent from practice

    Edwards-Helaire (ankle/hip) didn't practice Wednesday, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Edwards-Helaire appears destined to miss Sunday's regular-season finale against the Chargers due to his high-ankle sprain and strained left hip, especially after head coach Andy Reid already announced that he'll sit some of his starters. With Le'Veon Bell (knee) also banged up, Darrel Williams, Darwin Thompson and Elijah McGuire are all candidates for increased workloads Week 17.

    Edwards-Helaire (ankle) won't play Sunday against the Falcons, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: This news comes via coach Andy Reid, which sets the stage for Le'Veon Bell to head the Kansas City backfield this weekend, with Darrel Williams, Darwin Thompson and possibly Elijah McGuire also in the mix. Looking ahead, Edwards-Helaire is also expected to miss the team's season finale Week 17 versus the Chargers.

  • Sitting out another practice

    Edwards-Helaire (ankle/hip) isn't practicing Thursday, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Given that Edwards-Helaire is considered unlikely to play in either of the Chiefs' next two games with a left high-ankle sprain and a strained left hip, his absence from both of the Chiefs' first two Week 16 practices hardly comes as a surprise. Expect Kansas City to formally rule the rookie out for Sunday's game against the Falcons following Friday's practice.

  • High-ankle sprain feared

    The Chiefs believe that Edwards-Helaire suffered a high-ankle sprain and a strained hip during Sunday's 32-29 win over the Saints, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The Chiefs listed Edwards-Helaire with hip and ankle injuries when he was forced out late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's win, and X-rays were returned negative after the game. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network has reported that the rookie first-round pick is expected to miss the final two weeks of the regular season, and given the tricky recovery timetable often associated with high-ankle sprains, even a first-round bye may not guarantee his immediate return in the postseason.

  • Could miss Weeks 16-17

    Edwards-Helaire (hip/ankle) is expected to miss the Chiefs' final two games of the regular season, even though X-rays conducted after Sunday's 32-29 win over the Saints came back negative for a fracture, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Edwards-Helaire was helped off the field during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game, finishing with 14 carries for 79 yards and one catch for four yards on 45 percent of offensive snaps. The team expects him to be out for at least a week or two, but the likelihood of the Chiefs earning a first-round bye improves Edwards-Helaire's odds of avoiding any absences during the playoffs.

  • Good news from X-rays

    Edwards-Helaire (hip/leg) received negative X-ray results after Sunday's 32-29 win over the Saints, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

    Analysis: Coach Andy Reid said that Edwards-Helaire "got twisted up into the splits" in the fourth quarter of Sunday's win, but it looks like the rookie running back has at least avoided any sort of fracture. Edwards-Helaire had to be helped off the field by trainers, and he was unable to put any weight on his left leg. Le'Veon Bell, who had 15 carries for 62 yards and a score versus New Orleans, would be in line to lead Kansas City's backfield if Edwards-Helaire can't face the Falcons in Week 16.

  • Injured late Sunday

    Edwards-Helaire (hip/leg) is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Saints.

    Analysis: The rookie first-round pick appeared to have his lower left leg rolled up on late in the fourth quarter. He was able to limp off the field with the assistance of trainers but didn't place any weight on his injured leg. Le'Veon Bell stands to take over as the Chiefs' primary ball carrier as long as Edwards-Helaire is sidelined. Before leaving the field, Edwards-Helaire had 14 carries for 79 yards and secured one of four targets for four yards.

    Edwards-Helaire rushed 16 times for 32 yards and caught five of six targets for another 59 in Sunday's 33-27 win over Miami.

    Analysis: Edwards-Helaire was bottled up on the ground but got 16 of the 18 carries by Chiefs running backs, returning to a lead role after sitting out last week's win over Denver due to a stomach illness. His inability to find running room in this one doesn't bode well for Edwards-Helaire's chances of finding success on the ground against the stout Saints front in Week 15, but the versatile rookie notched his eighth game with at least three catches in this one and should remain heavily involved in the…read more

The rookie running back was active for last Sunday's win over the Broncos, but only in an emergency capacity, leading to him ending the game without a single snap.

    Analysis: Edwards-Helaire missed practice Thursday and Friday due to a stomach flu, and Matt Derrick of Sports Radio 810 WHB reports that the illness even caused him to lose some weight. It was only after the game, and Edwards-Helaire's surprise goose egg in a key fantasy week, that coach Andy Reid revealed his intent to hold the rookie running back out except as an emergency option.

    Analysis: Edwards-Helaire wasn't able to practice Thursday or Friday due to a stomach flu, and it appears he's only active as insurance in case of injuries to the team's other running backs. Le'Veon Bell has been bottled up by the Broncos in Edwards-Helaire's absence.

    Edwards-Helaire (illness) is listed as active for Sunday night's game against the Broncos, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Edwards-Helaire missed practice both Thursday and Friday because of a stomach virus, but he's improved to the point that he'll give it a go Sunday. Though he continues to head Kansas City's backfield, the team's high-octane passing attack -- as well as the presence of fellow RB Le'Veon Bell -- has resulted in unreliable rushing volume for Edwards-Helaire of late.

    Analysis: It looks likely that Edwards-Helaire will be listed as questionable for Sunday's night's game against the Broncos, but coach Andy Reid noted of the running back Friday that "we think we're going to get him back'' for the contest.

  • Not spotted at practice Friday

    Edwards-Helaire (illness) wasn't spotted at practice Friday, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The running back didn't practice Thursday, so his Friday injury report designation will be notable. If Edwards-Helaire's illness results in him being limited at all or out Sunday against the Broncos, Le'Veon Bell would be in line for an expanded role Week 13.

  • Misses practice Thursday

    Edwards-Helaire (illness) didn't practice Thursday, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Edwards-Helaire practiced fully Wednesday, so his status is worth monitoring as Sunday's game against the Broncos approaches. If he's limited at all or out this weekend, Le'Veon Bell would be next up for the Chiefs' Week 13 carries.

  • Contained in close win

    Edwards-Helaire rushed 11 times for 37 yards and brought in his only target for two yards in the Chiefs' 27-24 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Analysis: The rookie had the unenviable task of facing a Buccaneers defense that was allowing a minuscule 2.9 yards per carry to running backs coming in, and all things considered, he did a serviceable job with the opportunities he was given. Edwards-Helaire's elusiveness and vision came in handy on a couple of runs in particular, but running plays just seemed like an occasional formality for Kansas City on a day when Patrick Mahomes rather easily racked up 462 passing yards. Edwards-Helaire will look…read more

  • Leads backfield with two scores

    Edwards-Helaire (illness) rushed 14 times for 69 yards and two touchdowns while securing one of two targets for eight yards in Sunday's 35-31 win over the Raiders.

    Analysis: Edwards-Helaire was forced to miss a practice with an undisclosed illness (though not one that would land him on the COVID-19/reserve list), but he was cleared well before Sunday's kickoff. The breakout star's carries dipped to single digits over the past three contests following the addition of Le'Veon Bell, but CEH returned to his early season form with 15 touches and two trips to the end zone. Bell remained a noticeable part of the rotation (eight touches and a score of his own), but this…read more

  • Good to go this week

    Edwards-Helaire (illness) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Raiders after returning to a full practice Friday.

    Analysis: The same applies to fellow running back Darrel Williams (illness), so the duo will be available Sunday, along with Le'Veon Bell and Darwin Thompson. Over his last three games, Edwards-Helaire has taken just 19 carries for 81 yards and a TD and caught seven passes for 47 yards and another score. Edwards-Helaire's recent reduction in volume coincides with the introduction of Bell to Kansas City's offense, and with a time-share now in effect, the rookie's weekly fantasy upside has taken a hit.

    Edwards-Helaire (illness) returned to practice Friday, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The same applies to fellow running back Darrel Williams, and as a result, Le'Veon Bell and Darwin Thompson were the only Kansas City running backs to practice Thursday. We'll look for added clarity regarding Edwards-Helaire's status for Sunday's game against the Raiders no later than Friday upon the release of the team's final Week 11 injury report.

  • Notches receiving TD in win

    Edwards-Helaire rushed five times for 14 yards and secured three of five targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs' 33-31 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

    Analysis: With Kansas City surprisingly falling behind by a 14-3 score in the first half, game script quickly turned away from the run. Consequently, Edwards-Helaire and backfield mate Le'Veon Bell combined for just nine carries, but the former managed to salvage his fantasy day with a four-yard touchdown grab, the first of his career, in the latter portion of the third quarter. Edwards-Helaire now concerningly has single-digit carries in three consecutive games, however, which will continue to add some…read more

  • Minor role in blowout win

    Edwards-Helaire rushed six times for 21 yards and caught all three of his targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 35-9 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Neither Edwards-Helaire nor Le'Veon Bell (six carries for seven yards) got anything going on the ground, as the Jets' defensive line was just about the only unit on either side of the ball to play well for the visitors. The rookie has set new career lows for carries in back-to-back weeks since Bell suited up for Kansas City, but Edwards-Helaire's lack of volume can be better attributed to the Chiefs' reluctance to give him a major workload while nursing large leads rather than a shift away from…read more

  • Scores for first time since Week 1

    Edwards-Helaire registered 46 rushing yards and a touchdown on eight carries, adding a 17-yard catch during Sunday's 43-16 win against Denver.

    Analysis: Edwards-Helaire snapped his scoring drought against his divisional rival, reaching the end zone for the first time since Week 1. The rookie only garnered eight of 17 RB carries against Denver on the afternoon, but the fact that Kansas City established a dominant third-quarter lead allowed for newcomer Le'Veon Bell and backup DeAndre Washington to gain more involvement. Edwards-Helaire entered Week 7 having commanded double-digit carries in every game this season while receiving an average of…read more

  • New high in rushing yards

    Edwards-Helaire rushed 26 times for 161 yards and caught all four of his targets for eight yards in Monday's 26-17 win over the Bills.

    Analysis: Edwards-Helaire was a force on the ground, gashing a usually stout Buffalo defense for a new career-best rushing total. The rookie also caught everything thrown his way, but amid pouring rain for the duration of Monday's game, his running ability is what fueled Kansas City's bounce-back victory. After not topping 65 yards since his NFL debut, Edwards-Helaire made a strong statement to remain the Chiefs' lead tailback even after the team's recent signing of Le'Veon Bell. Of course, Bell was…read more

  • Competition for reps imminent

    Edwards-Helaire is expected to have competition for RB reps in the near future following the Chiefs' reported signing of Le'Veon Bell, per Adam Teicher of ESPN.com.

    Analysis: According to Dan Graziano of ESPN.com, Bell must complete five days of COVID-19 testing before he'll be eligible to play for Kansas City, so Edwards-Helaire no doubt will retain his status as the starting running back Monday in Buffalo. Beyond that point, Bell will be a legit contender for work out of the backfield. Edwards-Helaire kicked off his career with 138 rushing yards and one touchdown Week 1 against the Texans. In four games since then, though, he's been more of a dual threat, not…read more

  • Quiet due to game script

    Edwards-Helaire rushed 10 times for 40 yards and brought in three of eight targets for 40 yards in the Chiefs' 40-32 loss to the Raiders on Sunday.

    Analysis: The rookie looked like he was on his way to a big day against a vulnerable Raiders defense when he rattled off 17 yards on his first two carries. However, he totaled just 23 yards on his eight other rushes, and game script ultimately forced the Chiefs into an even more pass-heavy mode than normal late in the contest. Edwards-Helaire will look bounce back from his second-lowest rushing output of the season at the expense of the Bills in a Week 6 Monday evening matchup.

  • Nearly 20 touches

    Edwards-Helaire rushed 16 times for 64 yards and caught all three of his targets for 27 yards in Monday night's 26-10 win over the Patriots.

    Analysis: Edwards-Helaire again made a few splash plays while commanding nearly 20 touches. The rookie hasn't really busted free on the ground since his 138-yard debut, which was also the last time he found the end zone, but Edwards-Helaire has still averaged nearly 100 all-purpose yards while hauling in at least three passes in three straight outings. With great versatility in an explosive offense, Edwards-Helaire is a consistent producer who's bound to repay fantasy managers with even bigger outings…read more

  • Week 4 game rescheduled for Monday

    Edwards-Helaire and the Chiefs are currently slated to play the Patriots on Monday night at 7:05 p.m. ET, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: On Saturday, both the Chiefs and Patriots endured positive COVID-19 tests, causing the NFL to postpone their Week 4 matchup. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, subsequent point of care testing came back clear Sunday morning, so the game has been rescheduled for Monday evening. Edwards-Helaire now will take aim at a New England defense that has allowed 139 yards from scrimmage per game and two touchdowns to running backs through three contests.

  • Week 4 game postponed

    Edwards-Helaire and the Chiefs will not play their scheduled matchup Sunday against the Patriots after players from both teams tested positive for COVID-19. The NFL hopes to reschedule the game for Monday or Tuesday.

    Analysis: The league's initial plan appears to be to merely delay the game by a day or two, in which case it would still count as part of Week 4. That was the initial plan regarding the Steelers/Titans game, which was affected by positive COVID-19 tests within the TItans organization, but the league eventually decided to call off that game and reschedule it for a later date. Whether or not that will happen in this case as well remains to be seen.

    Edwards-Helaire rushed 20 times for 64 yards and caught five of six targets for 70 yards in Monday night's 34-20 win over the Ravens.

    Analysis: Edwards-Helaire's dynamic skill set was once again on display in another great offensive performance from the Chiefs. Although he averaged just 3.2 yards per carry, the rookie flashed his ability to make defenders miss through power and quickness, and he reached 20 carries for the second time in three games. More impressively, however, Edwards-Helaire displayed his excellent hands, setting a new high mark in receiving yards for his young career. Just three games into life as a pro,…read more

  • Catches six passes vs. Chargers

    Edwards-Helaire carried 10 times for 38 yards and caught six of eight targets for an additional 32 yards during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: After starring in the season opener, Edwards-Helaire averaged a lackluster 3.8 yards per carry in this one. He was much more involved as a pass catcher, however, and demonstrated the ability that made him such a tantalizing fantasy prospect leading up to the season. Despite a rather meager per-touch output in Week 2, the rookie still has 208 scrimmage yards and a touchdown through his first two NFL contests.

  • Explodes onto NFL scene in win

    Edwards-Helaire rushed 25 times for 138 yards and a touchdown and failed to bring in either of his two targets in the Chiefs' 34-20 win over the Texans on Thursday.

    Analysis: The rookie managed the improbable feat of being the standout performer of the night on a squad with luminaries such as Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill, constantly tormenting the Texans' front seven in a spectacular NFL debut. Edwards-Helaire put an exclamation point on the performance with a 27-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter, but the fact he averaged 4.6 yards per rush on his other 24 carries underscores how consistently he was able to gain solid chunks of yardage.…read more

  • Transition to NFL going smoothly

    Edwards-Helaire has avoided making mistakes thus far during training camp and has performed well with the reps he's received, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports. "He's playing fast, and he has incredible vision," quarterback Patrick Mahomes said of the rookie running back. "That's what's been the biggest thing so far."

    Analysis: Edwards-Helaire won't have the benefit of preseason action to get acclimated to the NFL, so investing in him will require a bit of blind faith on the part of fantasy managers. That said, the first-round pick has a big opportunity ahead of him in a dynamic Chiefs offense, especially after the team's top back from 2019, Damien Williams (personal), opted out of the 2020 season. Edwards-Helaire seems to be passing tests early in camp, doing his job as a runner, pass catcher and pass blocker. With…read more

    Analysis: Edwards-Helaire's reps were impacted Sunday by some minor dehydration problems, but he appears to have used the 24 hours to take in some fluids. The rookie is slated to handle the Chiefs' starting running back role out of the gates following Damien Williams' decision to opt out of the 2020 campaign. Given that Darrel Williams worked with the first-team offense in his stead Sunday, it appears Williams may have an early leg up in the competition for the top backup job due to his experience in the…read more

  • Practice reps impacted Sunday

    Coach Andy Reid called Edwards-Helaire "a bit dehydrated" Sunday, which caused the rookie running back to miss reps in the later stages of practice, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.

    Analysis: Edwards-Helaire likely would have been tabbed with "limited" participation if the Chiefs were required to file an injury report. Alas, it is training camp and not the regular season. In Edwards-Helaire's stead, Darrel Williams worked with the first-team offense, per Adam Teicher of ESPN.com. But Williams' experience in the system may have played a role, as DeAndre Washington, Darwin Thompson and Elijah McGuire also are around in the wake of Damien Williams' decision to opt out of the season.

    Edwards-Helaire was the featured back Friday morning during the Chiefs' first practice in pads, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Damien Williams' decision to opt out of the 2020 season left little doubt about Edwards-Helaire's predominance in the Kansas City backfield. DeAndre Washington, Darrel Williams, Darwin Thompson and Elijah McGuire also hope to compete for roles, but they may just be fighting for scraps if the rookie first-round pick proves to be a quick study.

    With Damien Williams opting out of the 2020 season, Edwards-Helaire is expected to handle the featured backfield role in Kansas City, ESPN.com's Adam Teicher reports.

    Analysis: The No. 32 overall pick believes he's a perfect fit for Andy Reid's offense, noting that he hasn't had any trouble learning the playbook this summer. The lack of on-field offseason programs and preseason games could be tough on rookies around the league this year, but running backs usually face easier transitions than players at other positions. Edwards-Helaire now figures to be a first- or second-round pick in the vast majority of fantasy leagues, with DeAndre Washington, Darrel Williams,…read more

  • Fellow running back opts out

    With fellow running back Damien Williams having decided to opt out of the 2020 NFL season, Edwards-Helaire appears on track to see added touches in Kansas City's backfield, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: DeAndre Washington, Darrel Williams and Darwin Thompson are also in the mix for added reps, but Damien's absence leaves Edwards-Helaire -- whom the team selected in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft -- is the current favorite to head the team's rushing attack. That said, there's a chance the Chiefs might elect to add further depth and sign a veteran free agent to compete with Edwards-Helaire.
