Edwards dominates work in return

Ravens RB Gus Edwards took over the backfield Sunday against the Jaguars, in his return from a hamstring injury. He handled a team-high 16 carries, 84.2% of the team's RB rushing attempts. RB Kenyan Drake played half as many snaps in all and ran just 2 more routes than Edwards. He split time with Justice Hill. They combined for 3 rushes and 1 target. Edwards took his 16 run for just 52 yards but saved his fantasy line with a 1-yard TD early in the 4th quarter. Week 13 brings a Denver defense that has been weaker against the run than the pass for a while.

Ravens RB Gus Edwards (concussion) cleared the league's protocol and doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's Wild Card game vs. the Bengals. This would be a pretty good spot for Ravens RBs in a world where QB Lamar Jackson was healthy and under center. The Bengals' defense ranks 22nd in Football Outsiders' run defense DVOA over their last 4 games. Unfortunately, the offense isn't as strong with QB Tyler Huntley or rookie QB Anthony Brown as the starter. Edwards is a ho-hum RB2 that would need to find the end zone to really pay off for fantasy purposes. There are likely better options available for playoff contests.

Responding to a question about RB Gus Edwards playing 9 snaps on Sunday night, Ravens HC John Harbaugh expressed regret. “I wasn't happy about that, Harbaugh said. “Gus should have played more.” J.K. Dobbins out-carried Edwards 17-3, a week after Dobbins held a narrow edge (12-11). Edwards won’t be a recommended Week 18 fantasy play against Cincinnati.
