Clyde Edwards-Helaire

Short, compact running back. Incredibly low center of gravity, which leads to outstanding change of direction and power in his lower body. Elusive in the open field. Will make a defender miss in a phone booth with great body control/start-stop ability. Outstanding contact balance and will often bounce off would be tacklers. Drives his legs forward to pick up tough yards after contact. Used all over the formation as a receiver and has incredible hands. Incredible release off the LOS spread out wide too. Lacks elite pass protection ability, but enough to stay on the field at the next level. A grinder as a RB. Will embrace contact between the tackles and pick up tough yards continuously. 3-down back though due to his receiving ability. Lacks elite top-end speed and won't be able to pull away from defenders if he breaks free, but has enough burst to pull away in short areas. Will most likely not run well at the combine, but his game speed is more than enough. Athletic measurables will be essentially the only concern with Edwards-Helaire though. He has every other characteristic or trait that NFL teams look for in a RB.

Fantasy Impact

Edwards-Helaire had a tough time finding running room against a stout Tampa Bay defensive front on Sunday. Patrick Mahomes put on an aerial assault, and unfortunately for CEH fantasy managers, he did not get in on the action. He out-touched Le'Veon Bell 12:7, and Edwards-Helaire will look to rebound against the Broncos in Week 13.
