ANALYSIS: Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire has never been a fantasy football star despite being a first-round pick in the NFL Draft. The veteran running hasn’t played this year after starting the season on the non-football illness list.
Reportedly, he had a chance to play in Week 5 against the New Orleans Saints. However, the Chiefs gave Edwards-Helaire another week before adding him to the active roster.
Kareem Hunt has been outstanding since re-joining the team a few weeks ago. The former superstar running back has stepped up as the featured guy, with Isiah Pacheco out of the lineup because of a fractured fibula. Last week, Hunt had seven forced missed tackles and 64 rushing yards after contact in the win against the Saints.

Fantasy players in deeper league should stash Edwards-Helaire on their bench. While Hunt has played well the past two weeks, the veteran isn’t guaranteed the lead role the rest of the season.

Every fantasy manager on the planet absolutely loves the tight end position. Well, not really. It would be nice if teams would throw to their tight ends more, but that might not happen any time soon. It's rare to find an elite TE. There are far more elite fantasy options at running back and wide […]
