ANDY BEHRENS: The fantasy dream was for the Kansas City Chiefs to select a running back in the first round, and they didn't disappoint us. I'm going to make this really easy for you guys. Clyde Edwards-Hilaire is the number 1 rookie for fantasy football in 2020. Nobody selected in day 2 or later is going to take that crown from him.
He goes to the Chiefs. He may not be their full workload running back. We'll still see a little bit of Damien Williams, but he's going to be-- what's the worst case? 60% of the workload? It is an incredible role.
Obviously, the Chiefs are a dominant offense. They were already unstoppable, unsolvable, and now they get even trickier. Edwards-Helaire-- a wonderful player, absolutely wonderful player at the collegiate level. Everybody saw it. He's explosive. He's quick, never gives up on a run, over 1,800 scrimmage yards last season. And he caught 55 balls. He never has to come off the field.
This is just the perfect spot for a skilled player. He is the obvious number 1 pick in dynasty rookie drafts. He's going to be a tremendous fantasy asset immediately.
