Who Should I Start? Clyde Edwards-Helaire or Breece Hall

Saturday, November 1, 2:09 PM

The Kansas City Chiefs have elevated running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire from their practice squad for the team's Week 9 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. With running back Isiah Pacheco (knee) out, Edwards-Helaire will give the Chiefs a little extra depth in their running back room. Veteran back Kareem Hunt should be expected to serve as the team's early-down and goal-line rusher, with rookie Brashard Smith mixing in in a gadget and passing-downs role. However, both Edwards-Helaire and Elijah Mitchell could steal a few touches away from Hunt and Smith. Edwards-Helaire has not appeared in a game yet this season. Across two games for the New Orleans Saints in 2024, he recorded 70 scrimmage yards on 16 touches. Edwards-Helaire should remain off fantasy radars heading into Week 9.

New York Jets running back Breece Hall (knee) is not practicing on Wednesday due to knee soreness, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. The Jets could be giving Hall some rest late in the season, but it's definitely something we'll be monitoring closely as Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars approaches. If the 24-year-old is limited in any way or ruled out for this weekend, Isaiah Davis would become a plug-and-play RB option for fantasy managers as the Jets' No. 1 back. Kene Nwangwu and Khalil Herbert could also be involved in the backfield. However, with undrafted rookie quarterback Brady Cook potentially making his first NFL start in Week 15, all of New York's offensive skill players would need to be downgraded this weekend. Going into Week 15, Hall is the RB17 in half-PPR points with 877 rushing yards and three touchdowns, and 309 receiving yards and another score.
