BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 42% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Gus Edwards was a very effective runner prior to last year's ACL injury, averaging 5.0+ YPC across the first three seasons of his career. With J.K. Dobbins now on Injured Reserve, the Baltimore backfield will be handled by a committee approach in which Edwards should nonetheless be the lead man above the two of Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill.
That is, in fact, what happened last Sunday as the Baltimore Ravens handed Edwards 16 totes to go with a target (he didn't catch it) in comparison to Kenyan Drake's 11 rushing plays. Edwards was, of course, an unstoppable beast while carrying the rock forward gaining 66 yards and scoring two touchdowns in his debut.
While Drake and Hill got some usage (11 and 5 carries respectively) they weren't as active, let alone effective, as Edwards in his return. Edwards finished with 18.6 PPR points and although the two touchdowns won't be there weekly, you get an idea of the usage he might get going forward and how Baltimore is probably going to bet on him crossing the goal line.
Drake was coming off his best performance of the season entering this past weekend (127 total yards and a score) and Hill missed Week 6 with a hamstring issue. No matter the context, Edwards still thrived on Sunday.
Edwards is a must-roster player in All leagues and he should be started in most of them at an RB3/FLEX option at the very least while Dobbins is out.
