Who Should I Start? Trayveon Williams or Clyde Edwards-Helaire

Thursday, August 22, 11:34 PM

Cincinnati Bengals running back Trayveon Williams led the way in the preseason loss to the Indianapolis Colts. He didn't do much in Cincinnati's first two exhibitions. However, the 26-year-old finished Thursday's contest by totaling a game-high 66 rushing yards off 11 carries, adding five catches for 11 yards. Williams, the No. 182 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, has spent his entire career with the Bengals. Yet, he's been limited to only 62 touches in 40 career games. With Williams behind Zack Moss and Chase Brown on the depth chart, his workload isn't expected to increase this season. As a result, managers won't look in his direction in most fantasy drafts, although there is streaming potential if Moss or Brown get hurt. The Bengals will begin the 2024-25 campaign with a Week 1 visit from the New England Patriots.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (coach's decision) is inactive for Week 8 against the Las Vegas Raiders. He was activated from the non-football injury list earlier this month but has not played since then. Sunday represents the second consecutive absence for Edwards-Helaire, who is evidently behind Kareem Hunt, Samaje Perine, and Carson Steele on the depth chart. The former LSU product can be left on waivers in most fantasy leagues.
