Gus Edwards

Gus Edwards rushed 11 times for 26 yards in the Chargers’ Week 1 win over the Raiders, adding two yards on his lone reception.

Edwards was handily outshone by backfield mate J.K. Dobbins, the latter of whom amassed 139 combined yards and a score on 13 touches. Either way, Dobbins is unlikely to command a heavier weekly workload at this stage in his career, meaning Edwards should remain in a tight timeshare moving forward. Edwards’ per-touch upside significantly lags that of Dobbins and he should be largely left on the wire for the time being.
