Clyde Edwards-Helaire News
Tuesday, July 28, 4:46 PM
Former Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire worked out with the Miami Dolphins on Tuesday, according to NFL.com. Edwards-Helaire was selected with the final pick of the first round by the Chiefs in 2020 from LSU, and he impressed with 803 rushing yards and four touchdowns in 13 starts as a rookie. However, the 27-year-old has never been able to recapture that form. After a short two-game stint with the New Orleans Saints in 2024, CEH returned to KC last season, only to carry the ball seven times for 13 yards and catch two passes for nine yards. He has not seen 100 carries in a season since his second year in the league with the Chiefs, and if he were to sign in Miami, he'd merely be fighting for a spot on the active 53-man roster behind starter De'Von Achane, Jaylen Wright, and Ollie Gordon II. Edwards-Helaire is completely off the fantasy radar for the 2026 season, even in deep dynasty/keeper leagues.

Javonte Williams News
Friday, July 17, 5:28 PM
After a strong first year with the Dallas Cowboys, running back Javonte Williams has "cemented himself as the long-term starter," according to Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. The 26-year-old was rewarded with a three-year, $24 million contract in February of this year after he had a career-high 252 rushing attempts for a career-high 1,201 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns in 16 starts, adding 35 receptions for 137 yards and two scores as a pass-catcher. At the very least, Williams will be the team's early-down back again in 2026, or a bell-cow back once again "at the worst." There aren't any real threats to his heavy volume going into his second year in Dallas, with Malik Davis, Jaydon Blue, and Phil Mafah, among others, behind him on the RB depth chart. Williams loses some luster in PPR leagues, but at the very least, he should be treated as a low-end RB1/high-end RB2 in upcoming fantasy football drafts as Dallas' unquestioned RB1. RotoBaller currently has Williams ranked as the No. 15 fantasy RB for 2026, just behind the Los Angeles Rams' Kyren Williams.
