Gus Edwards (ankle) didn't practice on Wednesday.
Well this is an interesting development. Edwards appeared fine in last week's win over Oakland, so the Ravens may just be giving him a breather. However, if the injury is legit, it could put Baltimore in a very tough spot for Sunday's game in Atlanta. With Alex Collins (foot) also banged up, all the Ravens have behind Edwards is Ty Montgomery and Javorius Allen, neither of whom are equipped for workhorse usage. It's not time to panic yet, though this will obviously be a situation to monitor throughout the week.
Hopefully the latter, since he's had 40 touches in the last two games.Legit chance to miss? Or just maintenance and rest?

Collins was put on IR.I have him in right now over josh Adams. I’m a little worried about Collins playing.
Well that is great news. With that I would put Edwards as a high end rb2.Collins was put on IR.
But Dixon was activated.Well that is great news. With that I would put Edwards as a high end rb2.
I’m not that worried about him for this week coming in and taking a bunch of carries.But Dixon was activated.
It's just the natural corresponding depth move. The only Bus stop will be his ability to stay healthy.But Dixon was activated.
Gus Edwards (questionable, ankle) is expected to play Week 13 against the Falcons.
This was already assumed after Edwards was upgraded to full participation at Friday's practice. Coming off back-to-back 100-yard rushing games, Edwards will be in another great spot this week playing indoors against a Falcons team that has bled yards to opposing running backs this year. With Alex Collins (foot) now on injured reserve, Ty Montgomery, Javorius Allen and Kenneth Dixon will be fighting for scraps behind Edwards.

Yep, starting the Bus over Adrian Peterson. Atlanta gives up 5.1 yards per rush.IheartGuinness said:Anyone starting?
Gus Edwards (ankle) is active for Week 13 against the Falcons.
With Alex Collins (foot) on injured reserve, Edwards will have early downs to himself. He's a mid-range RB2 for the final week of the fantasy regular season.

I’m going Edwards over adamsAs a flex player I'm seriously considering him over Ekeler and Adams. Ekeler has a tough matchup and Adams is MNF and questionable.
How do you guys feel about Edwards health. Ankle OK?
I would drop Edwards and Mack for Williams (priority add for you) and Samuel.Dixon took some touches including the TD carry.
How are we feeling with that TB matchup?
Im deciding if I even keep him or Mack rostered (Have DJ, Michel, Lindsay amd Ware). Also have Samuels with Conner still out.
Looking to drop he or Mack to grab Williams if Ware is out.
Or drop both (or one of them and C Ridley ) to grab Samuel (Carolina).
Injuries at the wrong time with Ware and OBJ are forcing me to worry about this tonight.
Dropped Ridley for Samuel. Just feel they are so similar in upside and Ridleybis too prone to a 3 point game (and like Samuel’s matchups).I would drop Edwards and Mack for Williams (priority add for you) and Samuel.
I'd be wary of starting Edwards. Week 14 snaps:Dixon took some touches including the TD carry.
How are we feeling with that TB matchup?
If I had Michel I'd 100% play him over Edwards. Ceiling is much higher. Floor is probably higher as well.I'm having a tough time deciding between Gus or Michel in standard. Balt could fall behind LAC and that means Dixon time. NE expects to lead this one vs Buff plus good match up and Sony can grind out the clock. Thoughts?
Last 3 weeksIf I had Michel I'd 100% play him over Edwards. Ceiling is much higher. Floor is probably higher as well.
Which is why I'm overthinking this.Last 3 weeks
Michel: 17 carries, 20 carries, 13 carries (snaps: 41%, 41%, 37%)
Gus: 21 carries, 16 carries, 19 carries (51%, 44%, 43%)
They are pretty much the same.
My main concern is Dixon... he's coming on strong. Only been back 3 games and his snaps have gone 21%, 32%, 52%.Which is why I'm overthinking this.
Gus Edwards - RB - Ravens
Gus Edwards ran 14 times for 92 yards in the Ravens' Week 16 victory over the Chargers.
Although Kenneth Dixon out-snapped Edwards in Week 15, Edwards again out-touched Dixon 15-10 on Saturday. The rookie averaged 6.6 yards per carry on the evening, taking his very first carry out of the gates up the middle for a 43-yard sprint. Now in a must-win spot against the Browns next week, Edwards will again be an enticing RB2 that projects to continue leading this backfield in carries.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Gus Edwards is "our No. 1 running back" going into the offseason.
This doesn't come as a surprise, though Harbaugh added the Ravens plan to bring in "some competition." Edwards had a strong finish to his rookie year but lacks the skill-set of a true lead back. Baltimore may look to sign a veteran to pair with Edwards this offseason.

If I owned Edwards I would definitely sell off of this news, because I'm not buying it.I thought Baltimore might be in the Jacobs/Montgomery market but I see them definitely going with Edwards and then maybe having a vet brought in to compete and give some relief. Edwards seemed to do just fine as the lead back when given the chance, so I dont know where this "he lacks skills to be a lead back" is coming from.
He offers next to nothing as a receiver, with two receptions total last season. He's fine as a grinder, but I'm not sure he's any better running between the tackles than Dixon, and Dixon can actually catch.he lacks skills to be a lead back" is coming from.
Good question. In PPR, I’d probably take a late 2nd/early 3rd and move it up a few spots for Non-PPR.What would you want to get in return for Edwards?
