Who Should I Start? Clyde Edwards-Helaire or Kendall Milton

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.

Former University of Georgia running back Kendall Milton signed with the Philadelphia Eagles as an undrafted free agent, according to NFL.com. Milton had a strong career at Georgia considering the team opted to use a committee approach, racking up 297 carries for 1,839 yards (6.2 YPC) and 23 touchdowns in 41 career games. Last season, he rushed for 790 yards and 14 touchdowns on just 121 attempts. However, he caught just 12 passes during his entire four-year collegiate career and struggled at the NFL combine, which are likely primary factors in him going unselected during the 2024 NFL Draft. He'll have a tough road ahead in trying to make the team's 53-man roster.
