Gus Edwards Leads Ravens Backfield In Win Over Browns
1 year agoDespite his status being in question for most of the week due to a concussion, Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards handled most of the workload in the team's backfield, with 15 rushing attempts compared to Justice Hill's three, resulting in 48 rushing yards in Sunday's 28-3 win over the Browns. However, his involvement in the passing game was minimal, as he caught just two passes for one yard. Sharing the field with Lamar Jackson limits Edwards' red zone opportunities and touchdown potential, which constrains his fantasy upside. While he appears to be the lead back in a run-oriented offense, his current efficiency and lack of participation in the passing game require reliance on touchdowns for respectable fantasy outputs. Looking ahead to a matchup against the Steelers, Edwards should only be considered a borderline flex option, mainly in deeper fantasy formats.
