Gus Edwards NEWS
Gus Edwards Clears Concussion Protocol
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards has cleared the concussion protocol, so he will play in Sunday night's wild-card game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Edwards has rushed 87 times for 433 yards and three touchdowns this season in nine games played but has not caught a pass on two total targets. The Bengals have allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points to running backs this season, so Edwards' role in a split backfield with J.K. Dobbins doesn't present much upside in this spot. Edwards will likely have to score multiple touchdowns to be a DFS-viable option, and it's tough to see Baltimore's offense performing well with backup quarterback Tyler Huntley likely under center once again.
Jan 13, 2023 • 6:56 PM | RotoBallerGus Edwards Returns To Practice Thursday
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (concussion) returned to practice on Thursday and was wearing a non-contact jersey and foam protection on his helmet after suffering a concussion in the Week 18 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. It's progress for Edwards, but his status remains unclear for the wild-card game on Sunday night against the Bengals. J.K. Dobbins was rested in the regular season finale, but he will return for wild-card weekend to serve as the lead back. However, with quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) unlikely to play and with backup Tyler Huntley (shoulder, wrist) questionable, fantasy managers should be fading all of the team's offensive skill players for a second straight matchup against their division rivals. If Edwards doesn't clear the league's concussion protocol, Kenyan Drake will take on a bigger role behind Dobbins.
Jan 12, 2023 • 7:36 PM | RotoBallerNo Practice For Gus Edwards Wednesday
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (concussion) was not seen at practice on Wednesday. The 27-year-old's status for wild-card weekend against the Cincinnati Bengals is up in the air after he suffered a concussion in the Week 18 regular season finale last Sunday against these same Bengals. Edwards will need to pass through the league's concussion protocols and get back on the practice field in the next two days to have a shot at suiting up. Coming off a major knee injury that kept him out all of 2021, Edwards saw 87 carries for 433 yards and three touchdowns in nine games this year. J.K. Dobbins will be Baltimore's primary back either way this Sunday, but if Edwards is ruled out, Kenyan Drake will take on a bigger change-of-pace role.
Jan 12, 2023 • 1:39 AM | RotoBallerGus Edwards Won't Return In Week 18
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (head) has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 18 against the Cincinnati Bengals. He finishes the day with four rushes for 16 yards. The Ravens made J.K. Dobbins a healthy scratch on Sunday, so losing Edwards leaves the team with just Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill out of the backfield.
Jan 8, 2023 • 7:54 PM | RotoBallerGus Edwards Active For Week 12
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (knee) is active for the Week 12 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 27-year-old will make his return to the field after a two-game absence. When healthy, Edwards has 131 yards on 27 rushing attempts this season. That being said, he's looking like a decent fantasy option for Sunday's slate. His return will decrease the fantasy value of Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill. Both players should still be involved, but won't be reliable streaming options. Edwards should be considered a RB3 for this Week 12 matchup.
Nov 27, 2022 • 4:50 PM | RotoBallerGus Edwards Expected To Suit Up In Week 12
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (hamstring, knee) is expected to return in Week 12 following a two-game absence, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. Edwards has been active for two contests this season, rushing 27 times for 131 yards. While Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill should get involved Sunday, expect Edwards to operate as the lead back while ranking as an RB3 in fantasy football.
Nov 27, 2022 • 1:36 PM | RotoBallerGus Edwards Trending Toward Playing Sunday
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (hamstring, knee) seems to be trending in the right direction for the team's Week 12 matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars, but he'll likely be listed as questionable on the final injury report on Friday. Head coach John Harbaugh said he "hopes" Edwards will play but expects left tackle, Ronnie Stanley (ankle), to be ruled out. If Edwards plays, he'll be an intriguing flex option in a top-12 matchup for running backs, but he has a low floor with no pass-catching upside and plenty of competition for touches with Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill. Ultimately, he's a touchdown-or-bust option in the context of the Ravens' offense.
Nov 25, 2022 • 6:28 PM | RotoBallerGus Edwards Back At Practice
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (hamstring) was back at practice on Wednesday after missing the past two games. The veteran running back has only played in two games this season because of various injuries. However, he has averaged 5.2 yards per rushing attempt and 12.6 half-point PPR fantasy points per game this season. Assuming he is healthy enough to play this week, Edwards should resume his role as the lead back. However, Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill will maintain their roles behind the starter. Meanwhile, Drake and Hill would see an increase in work if Edwards is forced to miss his third straight game Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Nov 23, 2022 • 8:03 PM | RotoBallerGus Edwards Inactive For Week 11
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (hamstring, knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. Evidently, the Ravens are exercising a measure of caution with Edwards, who was listed as questionable but has not played since Week 8. Kenyan Drake should handle lead-back duties against Carolina, but Justice Hill also figures to get involved.
Nov 20, 2022 • 4:40 PM | RotoBallerGus Edwards Not Expected To Play Sunday
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (hamstring, knee) is trending towards being inactive in Week 11 against the Carolina Panthers, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. An official decision won't be made until after his pregame workout, but as of now, it looks like it will be Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill leading the rushing attack for Baltimore.
Nov 20, 2022 • 12:52 PM | RotoBallerGus Edwards Practicing Again Thursday
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (hamstring) took part in his second straight practice this week on Thursday. Edwards was limited in his return on Wednesday, so he'll likely be listed as limited again on Thursday. The 27-year-old had last week's bye to rest up after he was held out in Week 9. In his absence in Week 8, Kenyan Drake was the leader of the backfield and scored two touchdowns. Edwards is trending towards a return this weekend against the Carolina Panthers, but he's only played in two games in 2022 and has 27 carries for 131 yards and two touchdowns. A return from Edwards in Week 11 would make both he and Drake low-ceiling RB3/flex options in Baltimore's run-heavy attack.
Nov 17, 2022 • 7:38 PM | RotoBallerGus Edwards Returns To Practice
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (hamstring) returned to practice on Wednesday. The veteran running back missed the Week 9 win over the New Orleans Saints after suffering the hamstring injury in Week 8. Edwards missed the first six games this season recovering from a torn ACL he suffered in the preseason a year ago. However, the veteran had at least 65 rushing yards in both contests this year before suffering the hamstring injury. With J.K. Dobbins out at least one more week (knee), Edwards will share the backfield with Kenyan Drake in the Week 11 matchup against the Carolina Panthers.
Nov 16, 2022 • 7:37 PM | RotoBallerRavens Plan To Have Gus Edwards Back After The Bye
Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said the team plans to have running back Gus Edwards (hamstring) back after the Week 10 bye. Edwards made his season debut in Week 7 but sustained a right hamstring injury in Week 8 and was held out of the Monday night game against the New Orleans Saints in Week 9. With Edwards sidelined on Monday, Kenyan Drake blew up for 93 yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries as the lead back. J.K. Dobbins (knee) remains on Injured Reserve, but Edwards' impending return after the bye will once again complicate the Ravens' backfield. Drake will still probably be the most attractive fantasy back in Baltimore in Week 11 against the Carolina Panthers, but Edwards' presence will lower his overall ceiling and floor.
Nov 8, 2022 • 7:30 PM | RotoBallerGus Edwards Listed As Day-To-Day
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (hamstring) is considered day-to-day with a mild hamstring injury, according to head coach John Harbaugh. Edwards tweaked his hamstring late in last Thursday's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but he avoided a serious injury and could have a chance to play in next Monday night's affair against the New Orleans Saints to close out Week 9 action. The 27-year-old missed all of last year due to a torn ACL, but he returned in Week 7 and scored two touchdowns on 16 carries to lead the backfield. He had 11 carries for 65 yards before getting injured last Thursday, and Baltimore could lean more on Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill next Monday, even if Edwards is healthy enough to play.
Oct 31, 2022 • 11:00 PM | RotoBallerGus Edwards Avoids Serious Injury
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (hamstring) is not expected to miss significant time. The 27-year-old suffered a hamstring injury during Thursday's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Luckily, the team believes it's a minor issue, so he might only miss a week of action. Edwards has been a strong fantasy option when healthy, so fantasy managers should continue to hold him. Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill will benefit, assuming Edwards is forced to miss time. Drake is the better fantasy option between the two backs.
Oct 30, 2022 • 3:11 PM | RotoBallerRavens Don't Think Gus Edwards' Injury Is Too Serious
Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said after the Thursday night win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that it didn't look like running back Gus Edwards' hamstring injury seemed too bad. However, the team will know more on Friday after running tests. Edwards came into the game questionable with a knee injury after making his season debut in Week 7, but he left in the fourth quarter on Thursday with a hamstring injury. Despite the injury, Edwards led the backfield with 11 carries for 65 yards. He wasn't targeted in the passing game. The 27-year-old will have extra time to rest before the Week 9 game against the New Orleans Saints on Monday night, but Edwards could still be in danger of missing that contest. If that's the case, Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill would see larger workloads in the backfield.
Oct 28, 2022 • 4:05 PM | RotoBallerGus Edwards Questionable To Return To Thursday's Game
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (hamstring) is listed as questionable to return to the Thursday night game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after injuring his hamstring in the fourth quarter. At the time of his injury, Edwards was leading the Ravens backfield with 11 carries for 65 yards, but there's a good chance he won't return in this one. This was only his second game of the 2022 season after recovering from a torn ACL last year. J.K. Dobbins (knee) is currently on Injured Reserve, so if Edwards' injury is serious enough to cause him to miss time, Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill be both be given larger roles in the offense. Baltimore's offense already lost tight end Mark Andrews (shoulder) and receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) to injuries in Thursday's game.
Oct 28, 2022 • 2:50 AM | RotoBallerGus Edwards Will Play In Week 8
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (knee) will suit up for the Week 8 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was listed as questionable coming into this game, but it was more of injury management than a real problem. Edwards finished with 66 yards on 16 carries with two touchdowns last week. He should be a strong flex option for this Thursday Night matchup. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly.
Oct 27, 2022 • 10:56 PM | RotoBallerGus Edwards Expected To Play Thursday Night
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (knee), who is listed as questionable for Thursday Night Football, is expected to play against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, barring any pre-game setbacks, according to sources. Edwards made his season debut in the Week 7 win over the Cleveland Browns and led the backfield with 16 carries for 66 yards and two touchdowns. He missed his only target in the passing game. Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill combined for 16 carries, while quarterback Lamar Jackson took off running 10 times. Edwards should again be the lead back against Tampa, but fantasy managers should consider him more of a touchdown-dependent RB3/flex in starting lineups.
Oct 27, 2022 • 9:29 PM | RotoBallerGus Edwards Listed As Questionable For Thursday Night
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (knee) is listed as questionable to play on Thursday Night Football against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Edwards made his season debut in the Week 7 win over the Cleveland Browns and led the backfield with 16 carries for 66 yards and two touchdowns on 36 percent of the offensive snaps. Considering he missed all of last season with a torn ACL, the Ravens are likely just limiting his practice load heading into his second game of the year. Edwards appears to be on the right side of questionable, and it would be a bit of a surprise if he was inactive. Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill will continue to see touches here and there, but Edwards should be the Ravens' lead back as long as J.K. Dobbins (knee) is out.
Oct 26, 2022 • 11:48 PM | RotoBallerGus Edwards Limited Again
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (knee) was limited during Tuesday's practice. This marks back-to-back days that Edwards has been limited due to a knee issue. Possibly, the Ravens are just being cautious considering Edwards recently returned from an ACL injury. He rushed 16 times for 66 yards and two touchdowns in his season debut last season. It appears Edwards is going to be a significant part of the backfield going forward. The Ravens have a quick turnaround with a matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday. Fantasy managers will have to check back for another update on Wednesday.
Oct 25, 2022 • 10:47 PM | RotoBallerGus Edwards Given Limited Tag Monday
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (knee) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report. Edwards was activated from Injured Reserve and made his season debut in the Week 7 win over the Cleveland Browns. He made a nice first impression, leading the backfield with 16 carries for 66 yards and two touchdowns. Edwards failed to catch his only target. With J.K. Dobbins now on Injured Reserve, Edwards should be a priority waiver-wire pickup for fantasy managers heading into Week 8 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football. The 27-year-old missed all of the 2021 season due to a torn ACL. He's currently rostered in 44 percent of Yahoo leagues.
Oct 25, 2022 • 2:32 AM | RotoBallerGus Edwards Active Against Browns
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (knee) is active for the Week 7 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. This was the expectation after Edwards was activated off the PUP list. This was be his first game action since suffering an ACL tear in September of last season. He'll get an excellent matchup against a Browns defense that has struggled to stop the run this season. However, he'll be forced to share carries with Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill in the backfield. Edwards will be a risky flex option for this Week 7 contest.
Oct 23, 2022 • 3:42 PM | RotoBallerGus Edwards Activated, J.K. Dobbins Heads To Injured Reserve
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (knee) has been activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list and is expected to play in a Week 7 divisional showdown with the Cleveland Browns. Edwards suffered a torn ACL last September and has not played since. Offensive coordinator Greg Roman stated that he was "really excited" for Edwards' return, which comes at a convenient time for Baltimore with J.K. Dobbins (knee) now on Injured Reserve. Edwards has an excellent matchup on Sunday, as the Browns have allowed the third-most PPR fantasy points per game to running backs this season, but he could be eased in with Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill also receiving touches. This makes the entire Ravens backfield somewhat ambiguous for now, so fantasy managers should view Edwards as a dicey flex option this week.
Oct 22, 2022 • 10:45 PM | RotoBallerGus Edwards On Track To Return Soon
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (knee) practiced this week and is on track to return. According to Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman, Edwards is on track, and "we're really excited getting him back." The 27-year-old was designated to return from the PUP list on October 5, and the Ravens will have one more week to add him to the roster. Edwards could have a role once he returns as J.K. Dobbins (knee) is dealing with tightness in his knee and has yet to practice this week. Edwards remains a roster stash in all league formats for now.
Oct 21, 2022 • 1:49 AM | RotoBallerGus Edwards Close To Return
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (knee) could make his season debut as soon as Week 7 after being designated to return off of the Physically Unable to Perform list early last week. Edwards should be picked up and stashed in deeper leagues as a committee back for Baltimore. J.K. Dobbins is considered to be the primary back for the Ravens, but it'll likely be a split workload between two or three players once Edwards makes his season debut. In a high-volume rushing offense, Edwards has value, at least as a handcuff RB.
Oct 14, 2022 • 5:43 PM | RotoBallerGus Edwards Designated To Return Off PUP
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (knee) will begin practice as soon as he's been designated to return off the NFL's Physically Unable to Perform list. Edwards tore his ACL around the same time J.K. Dobbins did but has yet to return to game action this season. When Edwards returns, he'll be on the fantasy radar along with Dobbins. All other Ravens RBs will take a hit in value if Edwards is healthy and ready to go. Expect this to be a frustrating and confusing committee backfield upon his return.
Oct 3, 2022 • 7:00 PM | RotoBallerGus Edwards Says He's "Very Close"
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (knee) posted on his Instagram page on Wednesday that he's "doing great and I'm very close." Edwards tore his ACL just days prior to the start of the 2021 regular season and was placed on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list a couple weeks ago, ensuring that he'll miss at least the first four weeks of this season. When healthy, the Ravens envision J.K. Dobbins, who is also returning from an ACL tear last year, and Edwards forming a strong one-two punch in the backfield. It's unclear if Dobbins will play in Week 1 against the New York Jets, but the Ravens also have Kenyan Drake and Mike Davis. Edwards is currently rostered in just 12 percent of Yahoo leagues.
Sep 9, 2022 • 2:49 AM | RotoBallerGus Edwards To Miss At Least Four Games
The Baltimore Ravens placed running back Gus Edwards (knee) on the Physically Unable to Perform list on Tuesday, meaning he will miss at least the first four games of the regular season. J.K. Dobbins also tore his ACL last year, but Edwards is behind him in his recovery. With Edwards out at least the first four games, fantasy managers can leave him to the waiver wire to begin the season. The Ravens signed Mike Davis in the offseason to give them insurance for both Edwards and Dobbins, and Davis could be the team's primary ball-carrier in Week 1 against the New York Jets if Dobbins isn't quite yet 100 percent. But make no mistake, Dobbins should be Baltimore's best fantasy back when healthy, making him a low-end RB2 target. The Ravens also have Justice Hill and rookie Tyler Badie in the RB room.
