BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 17% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: The 3-0 Las Vegas Raiders are looking like a force to be reckoned with through the early going this year. Quarterback Derek Carr currently leads the league with 1,203 passing yards. Second-year wideout Bryan Edwards has yet to be the recipient of a Carr touchdown pass this year and he's fifth on the team in targets overall, but there's good reason to believe he could be a factor in fantasy leagues going forward.
While Edwards' 13 targets through three games are underwhelming, he's been extremely efficient and productive with them, catching 10 passes for 210 yards. His 21.0 yards per reception are just a shade behind team-leader Henry Ruggs III, but Ruggs has caught just 57.9% of his 19 targets while Edwards has caught 76.9%.
Though Edwards has been out-targeted by both Ruggs and Hunter Renfrow, Edwards has out-snapped his receiver teammates in each of the team's games this year. This past week saw the greatest discrepancy in snap counts as Edwards logged 76% of the snaps compared with Ruggs' 58% and Renfrow's 52%.
Edwards is worth an add in all leagues of 12 teams or deeper for fantasy managers in need of receiver help. While he's yet to explode for a big game, he's topped 80 receiving yards in two of three games. His efficiency and snap count suggest that he could be on the verge of the breaking out in a big way.
