Gus Edwards Fantasy

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards has agreed to a reworked deal with the team, reducing his 2023 salary by about $1 million (from $4.38 million). However, he now has incentives in his contract to earn the money back. This could be a sign that JK Dobbins will take more work from him in the upcoming season. All Ravens' offensive players wait on the status of quarterback Lamar Jackson. Each of their fantasy projections and values will be affected by Jackson's presence or absence from the team in 2023.

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.
