Clyde Edwards-Helaire

CEH was out-snapped by Darrel Williams in Week 11 before the bye week, but it certainly didn't affect the opportunity share for Edwards-Helaire coming off of the injury. CEH saw 14 total opportunities (targets + carries) against Dallas, while Williams only totaled six. There were plenty of questions surrounding what this backfield was going to look like when both options were healthy and we got clarity that this is CEH's backfield. He looked great running the ball after spending some time on IR and he was able to cash in and find the end zone as well, which was something he had rarely done prior to his injury. Now, CEH gets to take on a Broncos defense that has been a bit up-and-down when it comes to defending opposing RBs. They're allowing 15.6 fantasy points per game though, which is around the middle of the pack, and there's very little reason that we should be concerned about starting the second-year RB in this matchup. CEH can be viewed as a mid-range RB2.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire scores in first game back from injury

Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire rushes 12 times for 63 yards and a touchdown and has two receptions for 13 yards in Sunday's win over the Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact

The Chiefs didn't hesitate to get CEH involved in his first game back since suffering an MCL injury in Week 5. The second-year back had 15 touches and scored on a wide-open shovel pass on the goal line. CEH should move back into RB2 territory in the rankings coming out of the bye.
