Gus Edwards A Shaky Flex Play In Week 5

Gus Edwards A Shaky Flex Play In Week 5

one year ago

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards has found the endzone once so far this season but has been efficient with most of his opportunities. The biggest issue with entering Edwards into any lineup is the competition he faces on his own team with Lamar Jackson, Justice Hill, and even Melvin Gordon III all taking carries away. Since Cam Heyward is out, the Steelers have been susceptible to opposing ground games, but Edwards' fantasy relevance is very touchdown-dependent. If he can't break off a big run, the red zone opportunities tend to go away from Edwards. There are better options, but he could be played as a flex in desperate situations.
