Re-signs with Super Bowl champs
Edwards-Helaire has agreed to a one-year deal to remain with Kansas City, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Edwards-Helaire, who turns 25 on April 11, is coming off a 2023 campaign in which he took 70 carries for 223 yards and a TD while catching 17 of his 22 targets for 188 yards and a receiving score in 15 regular-season contests. Now that he's signed on for a fifth year with Kansas City, the 2020 first-rounder is set to work in a complementary role behind top option Isiah Pacheco in a backfield that also currently rosters La'Mical Perine, Keaontay Ingram, Deneric Prince, Hassan Hall and Louis Rees-Zammit. Edwards-Helaire's fantasy upside is modest as long as Pacheco is healthy and available.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Shakes early week illness
Edwards-Helaire, who was limited in Wednesday's practice with an illness, was able to close out the week with consecutive full sessions and does not have an injury designation for Sunday's Super Bowl LVIII clash against the 49ers.
ANALYSIS
The complementary back is apparently no worse for wear heading into the weekend, but there is some question as to what exactly his role for the game will be. Edwards-Helaire has operated as the No. 2 back behind Isiah Pacheco throughout the postseason, but there's a chance Jerick McKinnon is activated from injured reserve Saturday afternoon if the Chiefs determine he's sufficiently recovered from his sports hernia issue.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
2020
Edwards-Helaire never returned last year after suffering a high-ankle sprain in Week 11 -- he didn't come off IR until the Super Bowl, and then he was inactive. His opportunities dried up long before then. Edwards-Helaire was a high-volume pass catcher at LSU, but Kansas City mostly tried to feature him as a rushing specialist, then pulled the plug when it didn't work. The Chiefs declined to pick up his fifth-year option for 2024, so a trade might be better for both sides. Edwards-Helaire was always small (5-7, 207) and slow (4.60 40), so it's perhaps odd Chiefs the chose a running role for him. He is not as fast or strong as Isiah Pacheco, and it seems unlikely the Chiefs will give CEH an opportunity to displace Jerick McKinnon as the passing-down back. It may take an injury or two for Edwards-Helaire to find playing time in Kansas City.
