Even though he technically has the RB2 role in the depth chart, both he and Isaiah Pacheco have 2 very different skill sets, and could thus, be poised to split carries in accordance to the context.
In this article, we´ll take a look at what you can expect from Edwards-Helaire this year.
Clyde Edwards-Helaire 2024 Fantasy Outlook
Clyde Edwards-Helaire, who now starts his 5th year in the NFL, will most likely be the RB2 on the Chiefs depth chart. While RB1 Isaiah Pacheco could get the main workload, due to having an entirely different skill set he could still get plenty of opportunities, depending on the circumstances.
Edwards-Helaire’s play is known for his versatility. He can catch passes out of the backfield, runs inside, outside, and even in some passing situations block. As RB2, he could play a role in passing situations such as screens of 3rd down conversions from QB Patrick Mahomes.
Clyde Edwards-Helaire’s Fantasy Value
Clyde Edwards-Helaire has both upside and downside to his value. On the one hand, he will most likely see a lot of action despite being a backup. However, it could be more through the passing game or in specific running situations.
As the RB2, his weekly production might be inconsistent, but he has the potential to deliver solid points. His value will largely depend on how and how much the Chiefs use him if he can stay healthy. Edwards-Helaire will have to make the most of the opportunities presented.
Clyde Edwards-Helaire 2023 Production
In 2022, According to ProFootballReference, Clyde Edwards-Helaire had a season full of inconsistencies. He ended the year with 302 rushing yards, 3 TDs on the ground, and 17 catches for 151 yards, along with 3 receiving touchdowns. While these stats might not be eye-popping, they show that Edwards-Helaire was involved in the Chiefs’ offense.
In 2023, his rushing presence slightly diminished due to the emergence of Pacheco. He only had 223 rushing yards, 2 total touchdowns, and 188 receiving yards on 17 catches.
