10 RB sleepers to target for fantasy football Week 5
By Nick Villano
7. Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Kansas City Chiefs
Yes, we’re here again. It’s time to buy back in on Clyde Edwards-Helaire. He’s been really good the past two weeks outside of one massive fumble. The Kansas City Chiefs haven’t given up on CEH, that much is clear. He’s averaged more than 100 yards rushing over the past two weeks and he has a receiving touchdown both those weeks.
The Chiefs’ offense is going to continue scoring. The mere threat of Patrick Mahomes is going to open massive holes for Edwards-Helaire. He averaged more than seven yards per carry last week. This weekend’s matchup with the Bills should be a shootout. Expect a lot of touchdowns, just like just about every Chiefs’ matchup this year.
6. Zack Moss, Buffalo Bills
On the other side of the field is the Buffalo Bills offense. They struggled out of the gate, but after hitting their stride, they’ve been dominant. The Chiefs have allowed the fifth-most points to running backs this season. The position averages close to 30 points against them per game. Only the Detroit Lions have allowed more rushing touchdowns to running backs.
Zack Moss has at least one touchdown every single week. That won’t change this week. There are going to be points galore in this matchup of the two best teams in the AFC. Moss only needs 13-15 touches to score, and there are going to be a lot more plays than that to give him the ball. The Bills would be smart to use Moss to set the tone and keep the ball away from Mahomes.
