Some fun here. Edwards-Helaire rushed for 1,415 yards and 16 touchdowns as a junior .. all-purpose yards -- receiving (55 receptions, 453 yards) and kick returner (KEY) 10 returns, 214 yards pic.twitter.com/3Duq1jjy6J
Holy offense Bat Man. I love Clyde Edwards-Helaire. He is best Rb in the draft. Watkins and Hill deep. Kelce in the middle. And Edwards-Helaire underneath. Good Luck defenses.
Brett Veach told Andy Reid to watch some Clyde Edwards-Helaire film and told Reid you’ll see Brian Westbrook. Reid watched. Then got back to Veach and said he’s better than Westbrook.

I could see Dobbins as the dark horse with how much Baltimore runs the ball
Tua?
He’s not even going to start day 1. They will be very careful with him.
Dobbins doesn’t have a shot unless Mark Ingram gets hurt. He literally needs to be the starter to put up that kind of production. CEH doesn’t because of what he can do in the passing game.
Swift and Taylor have a better shot than him. [Reply]
A do all running back is exactly what we needed. If he's like a mini Kareem Hunt, there is no stopping this offense, Not that there was anyway. If you call plays correctly and not over utilize the run on 1st down and in correct down and yardage it makes it impossible for the defense. [Reply]

If i were a betting man i'd put my money on CEH.
Burrow is favorite at +250. That's a really solid return for the most likely winner. QB + first overall pick + day 1 starter. He'll have visibility and more opportunity than any other player.
After that, I think Ceedee Lamb is another good bet. He's at +1500 and Dallas has Cooper and Zeke to draw defenses. If CeeDee Lamb has Mecole Hardman like production where he has few opportunities but they go for scores, he's gonna be HEAVY in the voting, purely due to Dallas bias. Solid bet.
CEH is at +800, which is another really really good bet. If you think he has a 33% chance of winning and the payoff is 8x your bet, that's just a good intersection of likelihood and profit.
Also, a super dark horse is Cam Akers. Jared Goff doesn't work as a QB without playaction, so I'm guessing they use the SHIT out of Akers. He's currently at +2000. I'd take a flier on that, for sure.
If Burrow goes down to injury, ALL of these payoffs are going to plummet.
Veach seemed pretty adamant that CEH would be a key factor in getting more yards from first down runs that were blocked up. Good first down backs who are also good receivers out of the backfield seems like a #1 RB to me. [Reply]

If he’s healthy, I doubt Tua sits on the bench for very long [Reply]

Unless Fitz gets hurt early in the season, I doubt Tua will play until after at least week 8 at the earliest. And that would only be if Ryan is just terrible. No way MIA takes any chances with his hip; I'd bet that the organization doesn't want him out there until next season. [Reply]

Obviously we all want him to have the 2nd one but I have a feeling it will be more like the 4th.
With Andy Reid, there’s no fucking way CEH has only 3.7 YPC. No. Freaking. Way. [Reply]

LeSean McCoy was pretty productive last season, as was D Will. You'd have to combine them to reach the numbers projected here.
I don't think it's likely that CEH gets 200+ carries and 50+ catches if D Will is healthy. [Reply]
In other words, the anti-Raven offense. Keep Lamar and company on the sidelines and force him to pass when he comes into the games. Since the Ravens' offense is predicated on grinding out the clock against you, if you flip the tables, they're not really built to get into a match passing TD for passing TD with Mahomes.
Yes. Lamar had a lot of TD passes last year, but that's because teams had to sell out against the run, leaving backs/TEs open. If you can run on the Ravens, you flip the scenario and I'm not sure Lamar's really ready for that yet.
