Gus Edwards's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Los Angeles Chargers running back Gus Edwards is not in the fantasy starter conversation in a Week 16 Thursday Night Football game against the Denver Broncos. Edwards is the top running back on the Chargers depth chart, but he's been horribly inefficient all season which has forced the Chargers to rely more on the passing game since starter J.K. Dobbins (knee) went down with an injury. Last week, Edwards ran the ball eight times for just 23 yards and he has yet to score double digit fantasy points in any game this season. The Broncos defense has stopped top running backs before, so Edwards has a low floor and almost no ceiling. He is best left on the bench in this key fantasy week.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Gus Edwards didn't do much in a Week 15 loss to the Tampa Bay Bucs. Edwards ran the ball eight times, gaining 23 yards with a long gain of just eight. He was not targeted in the passing game. The Chargers essentially gave up on running the ball in the second half, but Edwards wasn't finding much room anyway. He remains a thoroughly touchdown-dependent fantasy option with very little upside.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Gus Edwards is an uninspiring fantasy option in a Week 15 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Edwards has been running like he's out of gas all season, as shown by a 13% missed tackle rate and just 2.2 yards after contact per attempt. Still, he maintains a key role on the Chargers offense, as he's recorded 43% or more of the team's offensive snaps over the past two weeks, including 42% of the red zone snaps. He's a thoroughly touchdown-dependent option in fantasy right now, with most fantasy playoff teams almost certainly rostering multiple stronger options.
