Edwards-Helaire has seen his stock collapse since being a 2020 first-round pick, but the Chiefs used him some down the stretch last year and then brought him back on a one-year deal after his rookie contract expired. At this point, he mostly seems to be valued for his familiarity with Andy Reid's offense and competent receiving skills. Edwards-Helaire even dropped to 3.2 yards per carry on 70 attempts last year, after averaging either 4.4 or 4.3 YPC each of his first three seasons. He's no threat to Isiah Pacheco, who took over as the lead back as a rookie in 2022 and then improved considerably in 2023. Any chance for Edwards-Helaire to be useful in fantasy leagues depends on Pacheco suffering an injury, though there could be a surprising degree of value in that case, as the Chiefs offense is usually among the league's best and has little else in the way of backfield depth.
