Factoid: No. 2 running backs

If you're in one of those competitions where you can start each player only once, you're probably short a running back for the Super Bowl. In mine, most people already used Isiah Pacheco, thinking the Ravens (or even the Bills) would cash out Kansas City. Or maybe you already used Christian McCaffrey, to guarantee those points (or anticipating a Lions upset).   more »

Kansas City addresses running back corps

Kansas City raised some eyebrows this week with moves the team made in the running back room. The team re-signed veteran running back JERICK MCKINNON to a one-year contract for theMore upcoming season. Meanwhile, Kansas City declined the fifth-year option on the contract of fellow running back CLYDE EDWARDS-HELAIRE.

Edwards-Helaire was drafted in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft but has failed to live up to expectations while battling injuries along the way. Less

Kansas City adjusts injured reserve list, one up and one down

Kansas City activated running back CLYDE EDWARDS-HELAIRE from injured reserve on Monday ahead of the Super Bowl matchup against Philadelphia.
