Melvin Gordon III Promoted To Active Roster

Saturday, September 16, 9:14 PM

Baltimore Ravens running back Melvin Gordon III was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster on Saturday. With J.K. Dobbins (Achilles) done for the year, the Ravens needed to make a move to add depth to the position. Of course, Justice Hill and Gus Edwards are expected to split carries out of the backfield in Week 2 versus the Bengals. As a result, Gordon shouldn't do much for fantasy managers. However, it appears there's a chance for anyone to get involved at the running back spot moving ahead, so Gordon is at least worth monitoring.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Worth Watching Ahead Of Week 3

Saturday, September 23, 9:29 PM

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire may be called upon for a more noticeable role if Isiah Pacheco (hamstring) is absent or limited for Sunday's game. The 24-year-old hasn't done much of note with his 10 touches this year, but could be looking at an advantageous setup in Week 3 versus the 0-2 Chicago Bears, who were pierced for fantasy's overall RB1 and RB9 finishes out of Aaron Jones and Rachaad White respectively in the first two contests. Chicago's defense has caved in as a run funnel unit in the early goings, and Edwards-Helaire could check in as a reasonable RB3/FLEX bet as the favorite for base work, but only if Pacheco is inactive for this one. Whoever handles the bulk of K.C.'s backfield touches should display plenty of touchdown upside with the Chiefs projecting as heavy favorites to come out on top.
