Kansas City Chiefs: Six players to watch vs Broncos in Week 7
Clyde Edwards-Helaire
Clyde Edwards-Helaire was to thank for the Chiefs running all over the Bills on Monday and now it’s time to see if he can have a follow-up performance against Denver. The Broncos didn’t allow a ton of damage on the ground last week versus New England, but Cam Newton did rush for 76 yards against them, but a lot of that was because he had to run.
Edwards-Helaire had a career day in Buffalo and that’s why fans are eagerly going to be keeping an eye on him this Saturday in the Mile High city. Not only did he just have his best performance of his young career, but there’s another motivating factor for the LSU rookie…
Le’Veon Bell
Chiefs fans should see Le’Veon Bell in the red and white uniforms for the first time this weekend, which is exciting! Here’s a guy who used to crush the hopes of Chiefs Kingdom year after year and now he’s going to be rocking a Chiefs uniform for the duration of the season! It’s awesome!
Eric Bieniemy called the combination of Edwards-Helaire and Le'Veon Bell "a little bit of thunder and lightning.''

I’ll be really curious to see how the Chiefs utilize Bell this weekend. It’ll be his first game as a Chief, so I don’t know if he’ll be a huge part of the offense, but Andy Reid will definitely try to get the ball to him. Bell is someone known for being patient in the run game, waiting for the hole to open and then taking off. That’s a rarity for running backs these days.
Bell is also a great pass catcher, so maybe that’s where he’s predominantly used this weekend. His Chiefs debut along with seeing him and CEH together on the field is definitely going to be fun to watch.
