Gus Edwards Fantasy

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards rushed for 11 yards on three carries in Sunday's win against the Cardinals. Quarterback Lamar Jackson led the team with 120 rushing yards on 16 carries and starting running back Mark Ingram led the backfield with 47 yards on 13 carries. No one from the Ravens backfield rotation got in the end zone Sunday. At this point in the season, it's hard to see Edwards have any relevance for your starting lineup as the second option in Baltimore, but he could prove to be a valuable bench-stash handcuff to Ingram in the event that Ingram goes down. Ingram exited the game briefly Sunday with an apparent back injury but returned shortly after.

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards played more snaps (38.16%) than starter Mark Ingram (32.89%) in Week 1, but Ingram is the clear starter in the Ravens backfield. Last week, Edwards saw an increase in playing time because Ingram's shoulder was banged up and the Ravens had a large lead over the Miami Dolphins. Edwards was less efficient than Ingram, running for just 3.3 yards per carry compared to Ingram, who popped off an impressive 7.6 yards per carry. Edwards cannot be trusted in your starting lineup at this time, but if you are anIngram owner, you would be wise to roster Edwards as the clear handcuff.

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards has been locked in as the second running back on the depth chart going into Sunday's matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Just because he's second on the depth chart doesn't mean he's locked into touches, though. The Ravens offensive coordinator said Thursday, "We'll probably see who has the hot hand and feel it out. Mark is our starter, everybody is going to contribute." There has been a lot of buzz recently around rookie running back Justice Hill, who offers Baltimore a fun change-of-pace running style, but people tend to forget that Edwards had good numbers in 2018. The bulldozing back finished last year with 718 yards on 137 rush attempts and two touchdowns. The Ravens play a presumably tanking Dolphins Defense that gave up the most yards and second-most points in franchise history last season. Edwards could be a viable flex option depending on if he gets the "hot hand."
