Fantasy Football Player Notes

Edwards-Helaire has been ultra-efficient with his volume averaging 11 touches and producing 96 total yards. Edwards_Helaire has averaged 41.5% of the snaps through two games, but this is somewhat misleading. In Week 1, the Chiefs handily blew out the Cardinals early, and last week Edwards-Helaire had his knee stepped on after the conclusion of a play. After that occurred, he missed some snaps before returning. Edwards-Helaire leads the backfield with seven high-value touches and a 9.6% target share. If the Colts can keep it close, we could see Edwards-Helaire get more run this week. He's been the backfield leader for early-down snaps (44.2-46.7%), while McKinnon has garnered the third-down work (71.4%).

McKinnon isn't in play. Yes, he's averaged 43% of snaps over the last two games, but he hasn't been nearly as efficient as Edwards-Helaire, with only 2.00 yards after contact per attempt and 1.00 yards per route run. He's only been targeted on 19% of his routes. However, McKinnon is a fine stash, as he would take over more of the backfield than Edwards-Helaire currently owns. Pacheco is a distant third RB on this team.

Pacheco has been the mop-up running back, averaging only 16% of snaps the last two weeks with zero pass game usage. Unless injury strikes this backfield, he isn't startable soon.
