5 breakout fantasy football stars to pick up for Week 15

4. Clyde Edwards-Helaire, RB, Kansas City Chiefs

The biggest running back injury entering the fantasy playoffs involves Chiefs' starter Isaiah Pacheco, who sat out of Week 14 with a shoulder injury after failing to practice all week. Kansas City turned over the backfield to the long-forgotten Clyde Edwards-Helaire and he carried 11 times for 39 yards while catching two passes for 29 yards.

Andy Reid gave Edwards-Helaire pretty much all of the running back work while the game was close, which is good news. The problem here is that Edwards-Helaire largely departed in passing situations, ceding the backfield work to Jerick McKinnon at that point.

The Chiefs had a tough matchup against Buffalo, which is a big reason why they had to rely on their passing game more early on. There is also uncertainty about Pacheco's chances of returning to action next week but with a soft landing against New England on tap Kansas City may play it safe and rest him for a Christmas Day matchup against the Raiders.

There is a window to grab Edwards-Helaire, who is available in 50 percent of leagues, as a touchdown-dependent RB2. Keep an eye on Pacheco's practice reports this week but if you need help at RB there aren't many better options available than CEH.
