BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 51% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Clyde Edwards-Helaire entered Week 7 leading the Chiefs’ backfield in snap share (44%), rushing attempts (59/9.8 per game), rushing yardage (257/42.7 per game), targets (18/3.6 per game), receiving yards (137/27.4 per game), and routes run (65).
However, Isiah Pacheco and Jerick McKinnon, have loomed as both potential candidates to secure larger roles. This seemed particularly true regarding Pacheco, whose potential for explosiveness provided the prospects that Andy Reid would be compelled to distribute more touches to the promising rookie.
Pacheco did become the starter when Kansas City traveled to San Francisco in Week 7 and attained a season-high 30% snap share. He also the Chiefs’ backfield in rushing attempts (8) and rushing yardage (43). Edwards-Helaire functioned with a 27% snap share, and carried six times, while also producing 32 yards and a touchdown.
McKinnon led the backfield in snap share (44%), targets (3), and receptions (2), but was limited to two carries and 12 rushing yards, Pacheco infuses energy into Kansas City‘s backfield whenever he enters the field and his potential to eventually receive an expanded role in the Chiefs’ high-octane attack provides your motivation to add him this week.
