Big things were expected from Edwards-Helaire when he was selected by the defending Super Bowl champions at the end of the first round last year, and the hype only grew after he rushed for 138 yards in his NFL debut. The overall results didn't quite meet expectations, however, as he enjoyed a couple other big performances — including a 161-yard effort against the Bills in Week 6 — before slumping mid-season and later missing Weeks 16-17 and one playoff game with a high-ankle sprain. Still, Edwards-Helaire should be a good fit for Andy Reid's scheme long-term, compensating for average speed (4.60 40) with an impressive combination of power, contact balance, elusiveness and receiving skills. Plus, it's impossible for defenses to key on him, given all the other threats in the Kansas City offense. His touch volume could also grow significantly in 2021, as the Chiefs released Damien Williams (2020 opt out) and brought in only Jerick McKinnon to replace Le'Veon Bell. While McKinnon and Darrel Williams could take away third-down work, neither is a threat to Edwards-Helaire's status as the lead runner and likely goal-line back. Patrick Mahomes will still take a huge share of the offense's volume, but we've already seen Damien Williams and Kareem Hunt enjoy highly productive stretches in pass-happy, high-efficiency Reid/Mahomes attacks. Edwards-Helaire could be the next KC back to shine, running behind a remade O-line led by former Ravens OT Orlando Brown and former Patriots LG Joe Thuney. Read Past Outlooks
