After six seasons with the Baltimore Ravens, all but two of which coming with Roman as OC, Edwards inked a two-year deal with the Chargers during the offseason. The veteran was the very definition of consistency during his time with the Ravens, finishing each of his four full seasons -- he missed all of 2021 and played in just nine games the following year -- with 710-810 yards rushing.
Pushed into an expanded role a year ago, Edwards wasn't as effective, turning a career-high 198 carries into just 4.1 yards per rush -- it was easily a career low as he'd never averaged less than 5.0 YPC previously. The 238-pound back showed a newfound effectiveness near the goal line, however, racking up 13 touchdowns to match what he did in his four other seasons combined.
A nonfactor as a receiver with limited big-play ability, Edwards is still a steady hand and by far the safest choice from LA's backfield over the oft-injured J.K. Dobbins. You can tab the 29-year-old as a decent No. 3 fantasy back and feel good about it.

 J.K. Dobbins week to week with sprained MCL
Chargers lose starting RB

FFToday's Take: Dobbins will definitely miss Week 13 and likely more with a sprained MCL. Gus Edwards, Kimani Vidal and Hassan Haskins are next up on the depth chart. Vidal was Inactive last week but is the best pass catcher of this group so he should work behind Edwards in Week 12 against the Falcons. Edwards can be considered a Flex option but doesn't have much of a ceiling.
