Gus Edwards

Edwards could probably be a star if he got a full workload in Baltimore. He's averaged 5.3 yards per carry in his career and has lost just one fumble in two seasons. He would have been a high-end handcuff for Mark Ingram this year, but the addition of J.K. Dobbins essentially relegates Edwards to irrelevancy. He'd almost certainly need multiple injuries to have much fantasy value, and despite the high upside in that unlikely scenario, he's not worth wasting a roster spot on.

Gus Edwards projected to make 53-man roster for Baltimore

ESPN Ravens Insider Jamison Hensley believes third-year RB Gus Edwards will make the 53-man roster this season.

Fantasy Impact

The Ravens drafted Ohio State RB J.K. Dobbins in the second-round of this year’s Draft, but Hensley still believes there’s a place for Edwards on this team. The third-year bruising 6-foot-1, 238 pound back has quietly gained 1,429 yards with a 5.3 average on the ground. He’ll likely play 2nd or 3rd fiddle to Mark Ingram II and/or J.K. Dobbins, but he could be utilized in games the Ravens pull away in or at the goal-line. Edwards is really just a late-round handcuff, but should be considered for your roster as he is a part of the best running game in the NFL.
