Gus Edwards

While a Gus Edwards revenge game narrative is quite fun, it isn't likely to lead to droves of fantasy points this week. Over the last two games, Edwards has played 16-25% of the snaps while averaging only eight carries and 41 rushing yards. This isn't the matchup to consider flexing a back in a part-time early-down only role. Since Week 6, Baltimore has remained an elite run defense, allowing the fifth-lowest explosive run rate, the sixth-fewest rushing yards per game, and the fourth-lowest missed tackle rate.

The Chargers are a playoff-caliber team, combining stellar pass defense with an offense that lives in front of the chains. Jim Harbaugh had to feed J.K. Dobbins while Gus Edwards was on the mend from an ankle injury. Now that the Gus Bus is back on the field, the division of labor is more or less an even split. Dobbins is the "lead back," but it's anyone's guess whose personnel grouping will see the field at the goal line. Edwards is just as likely to score touchdowns and break off big runs.
