BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 37% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Gus Edwards was been designated to return from the reserve/PUP list, and he has now officially been activated to the 53-man roster. He will be active in Week 7 since being injured last preseason:
Edwards’ workload will be managed when he does resurface, although he will eventually form a rotation with J.K. Dobbins and Kenyan Drake. That will elevate Edwards into RB3/flex territory, which is a timely development as fantasy managers contend with bye weeks, injuries, and disappointing workloads.
Edwards exceeded 700+ rushing yards during each of his first three seasons (2018-2020) while accumulating 414 attempts (9.6 per game) and 2,152 yards (50 per game) during that span. He also secured career-highs in attempts (144/9.0 per game) and rushing yards (723/45.2 per game) during 2020 and performed with enough proficiency to rank seventh among all backs in Football Outsiders’ DVOA (Defense-Adjusted Value Over Average).
Edwards is currently available in 63% of all leagues and can be stashed this week before the competition to seize him from the waiver wire intensifies.
