Gus Edwards Week 16 Outlook - Broncos at Chargers

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Dec 19th 2024, 1:05pm EST

Edwards remains a touchdown-dependent flex play. Since Week 10, he has averaged only 8.4 touches and 30.9 total yards per game. Since Week 10, among 36 qualifying backs, Edwards has ranked 34th in explosive run rate, sixth in missed tackles forced per attempt, and 15th in yards after contact per attempt. Edwards is a truly desperate flex play this week. Since Week 10, Denver has allowed the second-fewest rushing yards per game, the third-lowest missed tackle rate, and logged the highest stuff rate.
