Who Should I Start? Mike Evans or Clyde Edwards-Helaire

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans didn't have a great season opener, but was still able to contribute in the win. Evans hauled in five of his eight targets for 51 yards in the victory over the Atlanta Falcons. The veteran wideout finished with the team-high in receptions and targets. However, Evans saw his fantasy value take a dip with Emeka Egubka and Bucky Irving catching the three touchdowns. Fantasy managers shouldn't be worried as Evans is one of the most consistent wideouts in the league. He should get the benefit of the doubt and remain on the WR1 radar for the upcoming matchup against the Houston Texans.

The Kansas City Chiefs signed running backs Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Carson Steele to their practice squad on Wednesday, sources tell Matt Derrick of Chiefs Digest. Edwards-Helaire was released by the New Orleans Saints on roster cutdown day on Tuesday, but he will quickly land on his feet with the team that selected him 32nd overall in 2020 out of LSU. The 26-year-old ran for 803 yards and four touchdowns on 181 carries in his first year in the NFL, but he never came close to matching those numbers over the next four years before KC cut him last season. While CEH probably should be considered a long shot to find a significant backfield role with the Chiefs again, he does bring experience and knowledge of head coach Andy Reid's offense with him. Steele will return after carrying the ball 56 times for 183 yards and no TDs in 17 games in his rookie season in 2024.
