Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) didn't practice on Sunday. Like his teammate, Marquise Brown, he's under the weather. However, it doesn't appear CEH will be out of action for long, so there's a chance he may return to training camp on Monday. The 25-year-old has spent four seasons in Kansas City since entering the league in 2020. Unfortunately, his production has been sporadic, rushing for 1,845 yards and 12 touchdowns off 441 carries and amassing 89 grabs for 765 yards and seven scores. The Chiefs have Isiah Pacheco as the No. 1 option on the depth chart, meaning Edwards-Helaire shouldn't be viewed as anything other than an insurance policy in fantasy drafts heading into the 2024-25 campaign.
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown (illness) didn't practice on Sunday. Hollywood went for over 1,000 receiving yards in his final season in Baltimore in 2021. Unfortunately, his production declined in the two years he spent in Arizona, most recently finishing the 2023-24 campaign by amassing 51 grabs for 574 yards and four touchdowns. Brown will have the luxury of playing alongside one of the best quarterbacks in the National Football League this season. However, the Chiefs offense is loaded, so it could be challenging for him to remain a consistent target for Patrick Mahomes. At any rate, fantasy managers should expect an update on his health on Monday.
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce stated how "taxing" last season was from a physical standpoint. However, he appears committed to getting himself in better shape heading into the 2024-25 campaign. "I've had more snaps than a lot of guys if not everybody in the NFL over the past five, six years" said Kelce during an interview. "I'm very prideful of that, but I know it has taken a toll on my body. So, it's just making sure that my body's getting that rest and that ability to train harder and be able to withstand an entire 17-to-20-game season." Undeniably, Kelce is the best tight end in the National Football League. But, his production declined in 2023-24, finishing with 93 catches for 984 yards and five touchdowns. Managers still plan on making him the first tight end taken in nearly all fantasy drafts. Yet, if Kelce has another subpar season, that will change in the years ahead.
