Edwards returned to the LA lineup after a six-week absence following a serious ankle injury. His ten carries were short of JK Dobbins' 15 rushing attempts, and he was vultured at the goal line by Hasaan Haskins. Edwards had a long rush of 11 yards against Tennessee. Kimani Vidal was a healthy scratch against the Titans with Edwards back in the fold, meaning Edwards would likely be the team's RB1 should Dobbins miss any time over the next month and a half.
Chargers RB Kimani Vidal is a healthy scratch for today's game vs. the Titans. Gus Edwards is back as the No. 2 RB. Edwards is a weak bench stash, but Vidal can be dropped in shallower leagues.
Edwards is unlikely to hold standalone fantasy value but his return could complicate things. J.K. Dobbins has established himself as the team's bellcow while Kimani Vidal mixes in for minimal touches and the occasional pass-protection snap. Ideally, Edwards would remain in the No. 3 role while allowing Vidal to gradually earn more opportunities. It remains to be seen if things will shake out that way though.
Ravens RB Gus Edwards (ankle) has been designated to return from IR. He'll practice on Wednesday, although it's unclear if he'll be cleared to play vs. the Titans this weekend. Edwards was operating as a distant No. 2 behind J.K. Dobbins before going down -- and might have even lost that job to rookie Kimani Vidal. Edwards should stay on fantasy waiver wires for now.
Edwards' practice window is open meaning the team has three weeks to officially remove him from injured reserve. The former Raven has been out since Week 4 because of the ankle injury. He had already started to fall out of the backfield rotation before going down, so it's unclear how much run he will see once activated. For now, fantasy managers can continue to treat J.K. Dobbins as a volume-based RB2 and Kimani Vidal as his backup.
