Clyde Edwards-Helaire Remains A Good Option In Sophomore Season
3 years agoKansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire should be expected to remain at the top of the depth chart to enter the 2021 season. CEH started the season on a high note, but struggled down the stretch. Edwards-Helaire also dealt with ankle and hip injuries towards the end of the season and missed three games. CEH averaged 61.8 yards per game on the ground and 22.8 yards per game through the air with a total of five touchdowns (four rushing, one receiving). CEH only rushed for over 100 yards twice in a game and the third most was 79 yards in Week 15. Despite those numbers, CEH is still a very talented running back, but is affected by being in a pass heavy offense. The good news is that he is involved in the pass game. CEH should be considered as a low-end RB1 in one of the most powerful offenses heading into the 2021 campaign. Those drafting CEH will want to consider running backs Darrel Williams, Jerick McKinnon and Darwin Thompson in order as insurance policies.
