Chiefs | Elijah McGuire joins KC's practice squad Tue Oct 12, 01:18 PM
Free-agent RB Elijah McGuire was signed to the practice squad of the Kansas City Chiefs on Tuesday, Oct. 12.
| Footballguys view: The Chiefs are going to be without starter Clyde Edwards-Helaire (knee) for about a month. Darrel Williams is their starter and lead back, although we should see Jerick McKinnon get more work. McGuire is there for depth but could give the Chiefs a change-of-pace option if called up to the 53-man roster. |

Chiefs | Kansas City adds Elijah McGuire, Jarran Reed Wed Mar 31, 05:19 PM
Free-agent RB Elijah McGuire (Chiefs) and DT Jarran Reed (Seahawks) signed undisclosed contracts with the Kansas City Chiefs Wednesday, March 31.
| Footballguys view: McGuire is a decent all-purpose back who can thrive in space as a runner or receiver out of the backfield. With Damien Williams moving on (to the Bears), the team is adding more depth in the running back room. McGuire is no lock for the 53-man roster and will try to earn his spot with the team in training camp. |

Chiefs | Elijah McGuire to work out for KC Tue Dec 22, 10:42 AM
Free-agent RB Elijah McGuire will work out for the Kansas City Chiefs this week.
| Footballguys view: The Chiefs are looking for more running back help. McGuire could be added for depth now that Clyde Edwards-Helaire is going to miss some time. The team has Le'Veon Bell and Darrell Williams to lead the way while Edwards-Helaire is out. |

Miami Dolphins RB Elijah McGuire was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Dec. 12. TE Chris Myarick and DE Tyshun Render were elevated from the practice squad to the active roster as COVID-19 replacements.
| Footballguys view: McGuire is going to be a reserve back for the Dolphins this week. Their RB corps is banged up in a big way so DeAndre Washington is their starter in Week 14 with McGuire and Patrick Laird backing him up. |

Chiefs | Kansas City signs nine to futures deals Tue Feb 4, 06:21 PM
Free-agent QB Kyle Shurmur (Chiefs), WR Jody Fortson (Chiefs), TE Nick Keizer (Chiefs), LB Emmanuel Smith (Chiefs), DT Braxton Hoyett (Chiefs), RB Elijah McGuire (Chiefs), DT Devaroe Lawrence (Browns), CB Chris Lammons (Dolphins) and RB Mike Weber (Chiefs) signed Reserve/Future contracts with the Kansas City Chiefs Tuesday, Feb. 4. Terms of the contracts were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: We'll keep an eye on Weber and McGuire in super deep dynasty formats. Weber was a seventh-round pick out of Ohio State for the Dallas Cowboys in the 2019 NFL draft. A knee injury suffered in May slowed him down and he didn't make the 53-man roster out of training camp. McGuire is a fine all-purpose runner who can shine as a runner or receiver out of the backfield. He was a sixth-round pick for the Jets when he came out of Louisiana in 2017. |

Patriots | Elijah McGuire visits New England Fri Oct 25, 09:20 PM
Free-agent RB Elijah McGuire (Browns) worked out for the New England Patriots Friday, Oct. 25.
| Footballguys view: The Patriots are just updating their emergency list here, although we could see a back like McGuire thriving with an offense like the Patriots. He's a decent all-around back who can excel as a runner and receiver out of the backfield. Only Fantasy GMs in crazy deep dynasty formats should be monitoring his status. |

Browns | Elijah McGuire let go Wed Oct 23, 12:17 AM
Cleveland Browns RB Elijah McGuire was released from the practice squad Tuesday, Oct. 22.

Cleveland Browns RB Elijah McGuire was signed to the 53-man roster Monday, Sept. 16.
| Footballguys view: McGuire is a good change-of-pace back who can thrive as a runner or receiver out of the backfield. With Dontrell Hilliard in the concussion protocol, the Browns needed more depth at the running back position. |

Browns | Elijah McGuire to CLE Mon Sep 2, 11:37 AM
Free-agent RB Elijah McGuire (Jets) and OT Paul Adams (Giants) signed with the Cleveland Browns practice squad Monday, Sept. 2.
| Footballguys view: McGuire is a good all-purpose back who can thrive as a runner or receiver out of the backfield. He's looked good in regular season action with the Jets, and we're certain he would look good if the Browns were promoting him to the active roster. |

Jets | Elijah McGire busy in finale Thu Aug 29, 09:48 PM
New York Jets RB Elijah McGuire rushed 14 times for 29 yards and caught all five of his targets for 35 yards in a 6-0 preseason win over the Philadelphia Eagles Thursday, Aug. 29.
| Footballguys view: McGuire is trying to beat out Trenton Cannon for a roster spot. His receiving prowess is his best asset, but it's not as important with Ty Montgomery and Bilal Powell on the roster. His bubble popped after the game and he was released. |

Jets | De'Angelo Henderson pushing for time Wed Jul 10, 10:48 PM
New York Jets RB De'Angelo Henderson worked ahead of RB Trenton Cannon during OTAs and began to share reps with RB Elijah McGuire.
| Footballguys view: Henderson has a low center of gravity and can run inside better than some think. We'll see if he can beat out Cannon for perhaps the final spot in the RB depth chart. The Jets are stacked at the position with Le'Veon Bell, Eli McGuire, Ty Montgomery and Bilal Powell (in addition to Henderson and Cannon). We'll see this pecking order behind Bell established in the preseason. |

Jets | Elijah McGuire bumped down the charts? Thu Apr 11, 10:46 PM
New York Jets RB Elijah McGuire will likely be the third-string running back following the signing of RB Ty Montgomery, according to Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record.
| Footballguys view: Yeah, it's a weird signing for the Jets as they already have McGuire (and Trenton Cannon) on the roster. The starter is Le'Veon Bell, and he's a great three-down back. When he needs a breather, Montgomery might be that next back up. |

Jets | Elijah McGuire made most of injury Fri Jan 25, 09:51 PM
New York Jets RB Elijah McGuire said he used the time he missed with a foot injury at the start of the 2018 season to log 'mental reps' in the film room, which helped him become a better blocker and better understand what opposing defenses are trying to do.
| Footballguys view: McGuire only played in eight games this year due to the foot injury. He made plays at the end of the season, scoring four TDs in the last four weeks of the regular season. He's a talented back but might be best served working in a RBBC. That's why we think the Jets will be in the market for running back help either in free agency or the 2019 NFL draft. |

Jets | Elijah McGuire rushes for 41 yards Sun Dec 30, 04:17 PM
New York Jets RB Elijah McGuire rushed for 41 yards on 18 carries against the New England Patriots in Week 17. He also caught two passes for 24 yards during the game.
| Footballguys view: McGuire was productive the last two weeks, but languished with the Jets offense this week. He didn't do much to stake a claim to the starting running back job in the future. The Jets should be players in the LeVeon Bell sweepstakes this offseason. |

Jets | Elijah McGuire riding hot streak Tue Dec 25, 05:43 PM
New York Jets RB Elijah McGuire has scored four touchdowns and averaged 79.6 total yards over the last three weeks while catching three passes in each contest.
| Footballguys view: McGuire is a talented all-purpose back who can do damage as a runner or receiver out of the backfield. Fantasy GMs still playing in Week 17 can consider him as a RB2 with upside in PPR formats. |

Jets | Elijah McGuire finds end zone Sat Dec 15, 08:22 PM
New York Jets RB Elijah McGuire managed 21 touches for 71 yards and a touchdown in a loss versus the Houston Texans Saturday, Dec. 15.

New York Jets RB Elijah McGuire (ankle) fully participated in practice Thursday, Dec. 13, and is not on the injury report for Week 15.
| Footballguys view: McGuire should be the lead back for the Jets on Saturday with Isaiah Crowell banged up. It's a tough matchup against the Texans run defense, but McGuire has enough ability as a receiving back to have RB2/flex appeal for Fantasy GMs in Week 15. |

Jets | Elijah McGuire absent Tuesday Tue Dec 11, 03:43 PM

| Footballguys view: Isaiah Crowell is banged up right now with a foot injury. If he doesn't play against the Texans on Saturday, the team would turn to McGuire as the starter...if he's healthy. Trenton Cannon is the backup behind McGuire. Check back to see if he can practice later in the week. |

New York Jets RB Elijah McGuire rushed for 60 yards and one touchdown on 17 carries against the Buffalo Bills in Week 14. He also caught three passes for 23 yards during the game.
| Footballguys view: McGuire relieved an injured Isaiah Crowell and was able to put together a solid game despite being stopped for short or no gain on most of his runs. He'll be a what the heck flex against the Jets next week if Crowell can't go. |
