2. Isaiah Crowell

The Chiefs had all the depth a team could have at running back after signing Le’Veon Bell. But that was because of Clyde Edwards-Helaire being a breakout player.

Now the rookie is injured, and his status for the postseason remains in question. The Chiefs would be wise to consider outside options, and Isaiah Crowell would be a top choice at running back.

Crowell last appeared in a game back in 2018 with the New York Jets. An Achilles injury forced him to miss the entire 2019 season and may have scared teams away from the 27-year-old in 2020.

The back has 3,803 rushing yards in five career seasons and could be useful getting 5-10 carries per game if needed. He is also a capable receiver, which is necessary for anyone lining up in the Kansas City backfield.

Patrick Mahomes is the team’s second-leading rusher behind Edwards-Helaire. Next up is Bell, followed by Darrel Williams. Adding Crowell would give the team a veteran who should show up in great shape considering he hasn’t taken a hit in so long.
