This was a close, rather lower scoring matchup with the deciding play coming on a 99-yard interception that was returned for a touchdown for the Chiefs. The Chargers scored late in the fourth quarter with Justin Herbert connecting with Joshua Palmer for a score but Los Angeles was unable to recover the onside kick and the Chiefs came out victorious, 27-24. Let's take a look at some of the top fantasy football headlines to come out of this Week 2 matchup. Clyde Edwards-Helaire Is the Chiefs RB1 After an offseason full of question marks around the Chiefs when it came to the team's running back rotation it turns out the guy who is the lead back was the lead back all along and that is Clyde Edwards-Helaire. Fighting off the likes of Ronald Jones, Jerick McKinnon and rookie Isaih Pacheco during the preseason to win the starting job, CEH has put forth back-to-back strong efforts as the go-to running back for the Chiefs. On Thursday, CEH finished with eight carries for 74 yards while adding four catches for 44 yards. 52 of the 74 yards came on a single run as he showed burst and some breakaway speed which had to make fantasy managers happy to see. Through two games this season CEH now has 15 carries for 116 yards and seven receptions for 76 yards. While the numbers may look modest, no other running back saw more than four carries in this game and CEH saw more targets than McKinnon. It appears that CEH was the Chiefs RB1 all along. ~/AAAHagA~/RgRlBwxbP0R1aHR0cHM6Ly93bHdpbGxpYW1oaWxsdXMuYWRzcnYuZWFjZG4uY29tL0MuYXNoeD9idGFnPWFfNjMyMmJfMjM3M2NfJmFmZmlkPTg3JnNpdGVpZD02MzIyJmFkaWQ9MjM3MyZjPSZsaWQ9bWZnOW9lZHQ1M2p1VwVzcGNldUIKYyNbhyRjS2CSplIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTJAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAFE Up to $1,250 back on your first bet with code: [FULLFA](~/AAAHagA~/RgRlBwxbP0R1aHR0cHM6Ly93bHdpbGxpYW1oaWxsdXMuYWRzcnYuZWFjZG4uY29tL0MuYXNoeD9idGFnPWFfNjMyMmJfMjM3M2NfJmFmZmlkPTg3JnNpdGVpZD02MzIyJmFkaWQ9MjM3MyZjPSZsaWQ9OWdhd3lmaWJqaXg5VwVzcGNldUIKYyNbhyRjS2CSplIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTJAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAFE) [Claim offer >](~/AAAHagA~/RgRlBwxbP0R1aHR0cHM6Ly93bHdpbGxpYW1oaWxsdXMuYWRzcnYuZWFjZG4uY29tL0MuYXNoeD9idGFnPWFfNjMyMmJfMjM3M2NfJmFmZmlkPTg3JnNpdGVpZD02MzIyJmFkaWQ9MjM3MyZjPSZsaWQ9bGx3Y2Nxb2xrdzZrVwVzcGNldUIKYyNbhyRjS2CSplIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTJAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAFE) ~/AAAHagA~/RgRlBwxbP0RzaHR0cDovL3dsZmFuZHVlbC5hZHNydi5lYWNkbi5jb20vQy5hc2h4P2J0YWc9YV8yMzQ2NGJfMjQzNmNfJmFmZmlkPTExODc3JnNpdGVpZD0yMzQ2NCZhZGlkPTI0MzYmYz0mbGlkPWgzcmZwcHNrZnAzclcFc3BjZXVCCmMjW4ckY0tgkqZSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkyQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAABRA~~ $1,000 No Sweat First Bet [Claim offer >](~/AAAHagA~/RgRlBwxbP0RzaHR0cDovL3dsZmFuZHVlbC5hZHNydi5lYWNkbi5jb20vQy5hc2h4P2J0YWc9YV8yMzQ2NGJfMjQzNmNfJmFmZmlkPTExODc3JnNpdGVpZD0yMzQ2NCZhZGlkPTI0MzYmYz0mbGlkPW1sc2I3cmNleHJxNFcFc3BjZXVCCmMjW4ckY0tgkqZSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkyQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAABRA~~) Mike Williams Puts Fantasy Doubts to Rest Believe it or not there were some out there who were worried about Mike Williams coming into this matchup after his Week 1 no-show against the Raiders. Williams quickly put those fears to rest as he and Justin Herbert were in lock-step for the majority of the first half of this game. Williams made an incredible one-handed touchdown catch in this one and finished with eight catches on 10 targets for 113 yards and the aforementioned touchdown. No worries, Mike Williams is still THAT GOOD. Austin Ekeler Comes Through For Fantasy Managers Ekeler's struggles running the football continued in Week 2 as he averaged a lowly 2.8 yards-per-carry in this one and he's now averaged less than 3.0 yards-per-carry in each game this season. That said, Ekeler's pass catching ability was on full display in this one as he finished with nine catches on 10 targets for 55 yards. There will certainly be better days ahead for Ekeler when it comes to running the football but as long as he can continue to put up elite receiving numbers his fantasy managers will be happy.   ~/AAAHagA~/RgRlBwxbP0S1aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZmFudGFzeWFsYXJtLmNvbS9jaGVja291dC9tb250aGx5P3Byb21vY29kZT1uZmw1MCZ1dG1fc291cmNlPWVtYWlsJnV0bV9tZWRpdW09YnJhemUmdXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPW5ld19wcmljaW5nX2VtYWlsX21vcm5pbmdhbGFybV9icmF6ZSZ1dG1faWQ9bmV3X3ByaWNpbmcmbGlkPTJlZGh3YnBmZnpzMlcFc3BjZXVCCmMjW4ckY0tgkqZSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkyQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAABRA~~   Latest Features ~/AAAHagA~/RgRlBwxbP0SDaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZmFudGFzeWFsYXJtLmNvbS9hcnRpY2xlcy9uZmwvd2F0Y2gtbGlzdC9uZmwtZGZzLXdlZWstMi13YXRjaC1saXN0LXRvcC1kcmFmdGtpbmdzLWZhbmR1ZWwtcGlja3MvMTMzNTAxP2xpZD1laHRicHV6eGg4enVXBXNwY2V1QgpjI1uHJGNLYJKmUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MkBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAUQ~ NFL DFS Week 2 Watch List [Read more >](~/AAAHagA~/RgRlBwxbP0SDaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZmFudGFzeWFsYXJtLmNvbS9hcnRpY2xlcy9uZmwvd2F0Y2gtbGlzdC9uZmwtZGZzLXdlZWstMi13YXRjaC1saXN0LXRvcC1kcmFmdGtpbmdzLWZhbmR1ZWwtcGlja3MvMTMzNTAxP2xpZD1kNjh4aXZkcHhhODdXBXNwY2V1QgpjI1uHJGNLYJKmUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MkBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAUQ~) ~/AAAHagA~/RgRlBwxbP0SsaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZmFudGFzeWFsYXJtLmNvbS9hcnRpY2xlcy9jZmIvcGxheWJvb2svY29sbGVnZS1mb290YmFsbC1kZnMtcGxheWJvb2stY29yZS1wbGF5cy13ZWVrLTMtZnJpZGF5LXNsYXRlLXRvcC1kcmFmdGtpbmdzLWZhbmR1ZWwtY2ZiLWRmcy1waWNrcy8xMzM2Njc_bGlkPTNuOHA0M3BwdmcxZVcFc3BjZXVCCmMjW4ckY0tgkqZSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkyQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAABRA~~ DFS Playbook & Core Plays: Week 3 Friday Slate [Read more >](~/AAAHagA~/RgRlBwxbP0SsaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZmFudGFzeWFsYXJtLmNvbS9hcnRpY2xlcy9jZmIvcGxheWJvb2svY29sbGVnZS1mb290YmFsbC1kZnMtcGxheWJvb2stY29yZS1wbGF5cy13ZWVrLTMtZnJpZGF5LXNsYXRlLXRvcC1kcmFmdGtpbmdzLWZhbmR1ZWwtY2ZiLWRmcy1waWNrcy8xMzM2Njc_bGlkPTV3OTlrNXNmbmx3elcFc3BjZXVCCmMjW4ckY0tgkqZSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkyQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAABRA~~) ~/AAAHagA~/RgRlBwxbP0SraHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZmFudGFzeWFsYXJtLmNvbS9hcnRpY2xlcy9uZmwvZmFudGFzeS1mb290YmFsbC1hZHZpY2UvMjAyMi1mYW50YXN5LWZvb3RiYWxsLXRhcmdldC1yZXBvcnQtd2lsbC1kcmFrZS1sb25kb24tY29udGludWUtdG8tZXhjZWwtaW4td2Vlay0yLzEzMzU3Nj9saWQ9ZzV3eW9mNXowc24yVwVzcGNldUIKYyNbhyRjS2CSplIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTJAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAFE Will Drake London Continue To Excel in Week 2?
