Gus Edwards Won't Face The Broncos

Gus Edwards Won't Face The Broncos

4 weeks ago

Los Angeles Chargers running back Gus Edwards (ankle) won't suit up for Sunday's meeting with the Denver Broncos. He didn't practice on Wednesday and Thursday, so fantasy managers had a feeling things were heading in this direction. However, with his absence on Friday, the door was closed regarding his availability for Week 6. The 29-year-old played nearly as many snaps as J.K. Dobbins in Weeks 1 and 2. But his workload declined in the Chargers' previous two contests. With Dobbins the clear No. 1 option on the depth chart, Edwards' potential has significantly decreased, so he wouldn't have been a viable fantasy option even if he was healthy. With that in mind, his absence will allow Dobbins to get even more work, with Hassan Haskins expected to pick up the residual scraps from the backfield.
