Gus Edwards Fantasy

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards saw 12 carries -- one fewer than J.K. Dobbins -- and produced 39 yards in the 24-17 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday night in the wild-card game. He added one catch on one target for a 13-yard pickup. Dobbins was much more effective, going over 100 scrimmage yards with a receiving touchdown. The 27-year-old Edwards is heading into the final year of his deal in 2023 and should be better next season another year removed from a major knee injury that kept him out for the entire 2021 season. He played in a career-low nine games in 2022, carrying the ball 87 times for 433 yards and three touchdowns. Edwards did not catch a pass on just two targets in the regular season.

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards has cleared the concussion protocol, so he will play in Sunday night's wild-card game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Edwards has rushed 87 times for 433 yards and three touchdowns this season in nine games played but has not caught a pass on two total targets. The Bengals have allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points to running backs this season, so Edwards' role in a split backfield with J.K. Dobbins doesn't present much upside in this spot. Edwards will likely have to score multiple touchdowns to be a DFS-viable option, and it's tough to see Baltimore's offense performing well with backup quarterback Tyler Huntley likely under center once again.

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (concussion) returned to practice on Thursday and was wearing a non-contact jersey and foam protection on his helmet after suffering a concussion in the Week 18 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. It's progress for Edwards, but his status remains unclear for the wild-card game on Sunday night against the Bengals. J.K. Dobbins was rested in the regular season finale, but he will return for wild-card weekend to serve as the lead back. However, with quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) unlikely to play and with backup Tyler Huntley (shoulder, wrist) questionable, fantasy managers should be fading all of the team's offensive skill players for a second straight matchup against their division rivals. If Edwards doesn't clear the league's concussion protocol, Kenyan Drake will take on a bigger role behind Dobbins.
