ANALYSIS: Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire stepped into the starter role in Week 14 and had a solid day. If he can maintain the starting position, he possesses some fantasy upside as the primary back in the Chiefs' offense.
CEH finished with 13 touches, but they were fairly empty touches. He had just two receptions and he was routinely subbed out inside the red zone for McKinnon. He finished with 68 yards on his 13 touches, but due to his lack of involvement in the passing game and since McKinnon has operated as the primary back near the goal line, his fantasy value is diminished.
It's unknown how long Isiah Pacheco will be out, which creates a tough decision for fantasy managers as it relates to adding CEH. Is he a long-term option? Since Pacheco was not placed on IR, it seems unlikely. Even in the event he gets another start, what's the upside? Without the goal-line touches, which have routinely gone to McKinnon or Pacheco, it's hard to envision much of a ceiling for CEH.
Still, if you find yourself in need of a running back starter and are unable to grab some of the other guys higher up, swinging at CEH makes sense.
