BALLER MOVE: Sit
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4
ANALYSIS: While Los Angeles Chargers running back Gus Edwards (ankle) is worth rostering in fantasy football leagues with 12 or more teams, he's probably not worth putting in your starting lineup. He's a solid handcuff for lead back J.K. Dobbins, but doesn't have a pass-catching role or enough carries to be fantasy relevant yet.

- Bucky Irving and James Conner clearly the most elusive runners in the league right now
- Gibbs/Henry/Barkley are explosive play demons this year

He's been one of the least elusive backs in the league this season, and it's unlikely he takes the starting job away from Dobbins, who's played well for the most part. Outside of very deep leagues, it doesn't make much sense to start him. He's 29 years old, so a breakout isn't likely at this point in his career. There are plenty of better options.
