Gus Edwards Fantasy

The Baltimore Ravens placed a second-round tender on impending free-agent running back Gus Edwards on Wednesday. The team also placed tenders on center Trystan Colon-Castillo and linebacker Kristian Welch. Baltimore would clearly like to bring Edwards back after he led the team with 144 carries for 723 yards and six rushing touchdowns in 2020. The Ravens still have J.K. Dobbins and Justice Hill in the backfield after cutting veteran Mark Ingram II, but Edwards should remain the primary back heading into the 2021 season. "Gus is going to be on the team, one way or the other," general manager Eric DeCosta said Tuesday. "We're going to certainly tender him if we don't get a long-term deal done, but he is a Raven. He played his butt off this year, and he had a good season for us."

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards finished with eight carries for 38 yards during the win over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. Despite getting a carry less than J.K. Dobbins, the rookie was more efficient between the two by racking up 43 yards and a touchdown. With Lamar Jackson and Dobbins working as the team's featured backs, Edwards has been relegated to an afterthought. While the upside is still there, he will be a risky option in any fantasy contest in the Ravens' next postseason matchup.

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards still has upside on Sunday against Tennessee. While J.K. Dobbins has been the preferred option out of the backfield, especially after finding the end zone in each of his previous six outings, Edwards continues to get his touches. With the Ravens committed to getting things done on the run, there should be plenty of work to go around on the ground for Edwards, Dobbins, and Lamar Jackson to be relevant from a fantasy standpoint during the Wild Card encounter with the Titans.
