Who Should I Start? Myles Gaskin or Clyde Edwards-Helaire

The Baltimore Ravens are signing free-agent running back Myles Gaskin on Saturday. Gaskin worked out with the team this weekend and apparently impressed enough to earn himself a deal with the organization. The 28-year-old figures to be a depth option during training camp. He'll compete with Justice Hill, Keaton Mitchell, and Rasheen Ali for a backup spot behind Derrick Henry. Gaskin has bounced around the league quite a bit over the last few years. He hasn't played much since the 2021 season with the Miami Dolphins. Possibly, Gaskin will catch on as a depth option, but he's unlikely to have any fantasy value.

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.
