Four Kansas City Chiefs to watch vs Raiders in Week 5

Clyde Edwards-Helaire

Clyde Edwards-Helaire hasn’t rushed for over 100 yards since Week 1 against Houston and while he’s been more involved in the receiving game, it’d be nice to see him get the Chiefs rushing attack back on the map. Vegas has surrendered an average of 138.5 rushing yards per game, so this is Edwards-Helaire’s chance for another big game running the ball.

Expect the Chiefs to get CEH heavily involved in this one whether it’s running the ball or catching it out of the back field. The Raiders defense has been shaky, so Edwards-Helaire definitely has a chance to have a career day vs Vegas. It’ll be his first game against the Raiders, so naturally fans would like him to run roughshod over the black and silver.

This Chiefs vs Raiders game should be a fun one and while the Raiders have been a team Kansas City has beat up on quite a bit in recent years, the Raiders have shown some flashes of potential through the first month of the season. They started 2-0 and one of those wins came against the Saints, who were a team many expected to compete for a Super Bowl this year.

Since then, however, Las Vegas has played rather sloppy football and they can’t do that if they want any shot at taking down the Chiefs in Arrowhead. I’m excited for this match-up and while the Kansas City Chiefs should win, it might not be as comfortable as a win as fans are anticipating.
