Gus Edwards News
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (knee) posted on his Instagram page on Wednesday that he's "doing great and I'm very close." Edwards tore his ACL just days prior to the start of the 2021 regular season and was placed on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list a couple weeks ago, ensuring that he'll miss at least the first four weeks of this season. When healthy, the Ravens envision J.K. Dobbins, who is also returning from an ACL tear last year, and Edwards forming a strong one-two punch in the backfield. It's unclear if Dobbins will play in Week 1 against the New York Jets, but the Ravens also have Kenyan Drake and Mike Davis. Edwards is currently rostered in just 12 percent of Yahoo leagues.
The Baltimore Ravens placed running back Gus Edwards (knee) on the Physically Unable to Perform list on Tuesday, meaning he will miss at least the first four games of the regular season. J.K. Dobbins also tore his ACL last year, but Edwards is behind him in his recovery. With Edwards out at least the first four games, fantasy managers can leave him to the waiver wire to begin the season. The Ravens signed Mike Davis in the offseason to give them insurance for both Edwards and Dobbins, and Davis could be the team's primary ball-carrier in Week 1 against the New York Jets if Dobbins isn't quite yet 100 percent. But make no mistake, Dobbins should be Baltimore's best fantasy back when healthy, making him a low-end RB2 target. The Ravens also have Justice Hill and rookie Tyler Badie in the RB room.
While Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) was activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list on Monday, fellow running back Gus Edwards (knee) is the furthest away and is likely doubtful for Week 1 of the regular season. When healthy, Edwards figures to be the No. 2 behind Dobbins, but it looks like he won't be ready to go early in the year. Baltimore also has Mike Davis, rookie Tyler Badie and Justice Hill to pick up the slack behind Dobbins. Like Dobbins, Edwards missed all of 2021 with a torn ACL, but the 27-year-old had 144 carries for 723 yards and six rushing touchdowns in 2020. Edwards will probably go undrafted in standard 12-team leagues to begin the year, but he'll be a handcuff waiver-wire pickup for Dobbins once he's healthy.

Gus Edwards will return to the Baltimore backfield once again in a backup role behind J.K. Dobbins, who both suffered torn ACLs prior to the 2021 season. The Ravens will likely be a full-blown committee once again, as quarterback Lamar Jackson will also get a significant amount of rushing attempts. Jackson had 133 attempts in 12 games last season, which will limit the upside that Edwards has to offer even though he is in one of the league's most run-heavy offenses. Not to mention, the Ravens...
