At the 2020 NFL Combine, Clyde Edwards-Helaire (5'7/207) runs a 4.60 40-yard dash. (NFL.com)
Fantasy Impact:
At his size (5'7/207), the 40-yard dash time doesn't look great in a vacuum. However, we need to note the type of player that CEH is and how he succeeds as a RB. He wins with burst, great contact balance, and fantastic change of direction. This was a drill that CEH wasn't expected to run extremely well in, but as long as he could run faster than a 4.66 or so, his stock was going to remain the same. For him to run slightly faster is an added bonus...CEH also showed off his lower body explosiveness by jumping 39.5 inches in the vertical jump, which is a great number. For the time being, Edwards-Helaire belongs in the first round Dynasty rookie draft conversation and should fall into a very favorable situation for fantasy football right out of the gates.
