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.

Kenneth Walker News
Friday, August 21, 7:37 AM
Kansas City Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker III has been everywhere in training camp. The Athletic reports that Walker is getting the ball "all the time," with the Chiefs leaning on him in the screen game and using him as the primary back in the red zone. That's a pretty sharp change from Seattle, where Zach Charbonnet took a big chunk of the work. Walker ran for 1,027 yards on 221 carries last season but scored only five times. Charbonnet, meanwhile, had 12 rushing touchdowns on 184 carries. Walker also caught 31 passes for 282 yards, and Kansas City has been testing that part of his game much more this summer. Andy Reid has rotated backs by series plenty over the years, but The Athletic says that doesn't appear to be the plan here. If the camp usage holds, Walker is headed for more catches, more goal-line chances and a heavier overall workload. That's a big fantasy boost for a back who already showed during Seattle's Super Bowl run that he can carry the load.
