Chargers' Gus Edwards: Scores touchdown in loss
Edwards tallied 10 carries for 36 yards and a touchdown in the 19-17 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.
The bruising running back scored just his second touchdown of the season. For a second consecutive week Edwards led the team in carries, but rookie Kimani Vidal was also a factor, tallying eight carries for 34 yards. The backfield breakdown is worth monitoring with J.K. Dobbins (knee) still on injured reserve for at minimum two more weeks, but it's becoming clear Los Angeles' rushing attack just doesn't have the same gusto it did when Dobbins was one of the bell cows.

Chargers' Gus Edwards: Not used much in win
Edwards tallied six carries for 32 yards and also caught his lone reception for one yard in the 17-13 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
At least for one week, Edwards narrowly held the lead in total touches over rookie Kimani Vidal, who registered just four carries for 20 yards in a weird game script that saw the Chargers trail the time-of-possession battle by nearly 12 minutes. Obviously neither running back had an exceptional fantasy day, but it's worth noting Hassan Haskins was the clear third back as predicted while fumbling on his lone carry of the day. Edwards, Vidal and company won't have it much easier next week against a tough Chiefs defense in Kansas City.

Chargers' Gus Edwards: Looks headed for Week 13 start
Edwards is expected to step in as the Chargers' starting running back in Sunday's game against the Falcons with J.K. Dobbins considered unlikely to play after spraining his left knee in Monday's 30-23 loss to the Ravens, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Edwards has technically started in two of his seven appearances on the season, but Dobbins has been the clear lead option out of the Los Angeles backfield, besting Edwards in both rushing volume (766 yards and eight touchdowns to Edwards' 206 and one) and efficiency (4.8 yards per carry to 3.3 YPC). With Rapoport relaying that Dobbins' availability beyond the Week 13 contest in Atlanta is up in the air, Edwards could be in store for a multi-game run as Los Angeles' primary ball carrier. However, Dobbins' expected absence is unlikely to open up more work on passing downs for Edwards, with those reps instead likely to go to rookie Kimani Vidal, whose 5-foot-8, 215-pound frame and superior speed makes him a strong candidate to fill a change-of-pace role. The Chargers also have Hassan Haskins on hand, but like Edwards, the 6-foot-2, 228-pound Haskins is better suited for early down or short-yardage work.

Chargers' Gus Edwards: Short TD in place of starter
Edwards rushed nine times for 11 yards and a touchdown while not hauling in his only target in Monday's 30-23 loss to the Ravens.
Starter J.K. Dobbins went down with a knee injury in the first half of Monday's narrow defeat, affording Edwards extra play in the second half. The 29-year-old Edwards didn't post big numbers outside of a short touchdown run, but he could be worth considering if Dobbins is forced to miss time. If that becomes the case, Edwards would make a great add in leagues where he is available ahead of next Sunday's tilt against Atlanta.

Chargers' Gus Edwards: Not involved much in win
Edwards tallied six carries for 27 yards in a 34-27 win over the Bengals on Sunday.
J.K. Dobbins once again saw the lion's share of the workload (11 carries, 56 yards and two touchdowns) and even Hassan Haskins was given multiple goal-line totes, although he floundered with the opportunity. Edwards' fantasy value is likely dependent on the health of Dobbins, who has already surpassed his career high in carries (134) and has averaged under 4.0 yards a carry in four of his past six contests.

Chargers' Gus Edwards: Cleared for Week 11
Edwards (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday night's game against the Bengals after practicing fully Friday.
Edwards was on the field for 15 snaps and logged 10 carries for 55 yards in his return from a four-game absence in this past Sunday's 27-17 win over the Titans. While the running back was limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday, his return to a full session Friday paves the way for him to be available this weekend. Though Edwards isn't a factor in the Chargers' passing attack, he figures to earn enough carries alongside J.K. Dobbins (39 snaps, 15 carries in Week 10) going forward to merit attention in deeper fantasy formats.

Chargers' Gus Edwards: Limited at practice Wednesday
Edwards (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
In his return from a four-game absence due to an ankle injury in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Titans, Edwards logged 15 snaps and carried the ball 10 times for 55 yards. With no reported setbacks coming out of the contest, Edwards' limitations Wednesday may have just been a case of workload management. The running back now has two more chances to upgrade to full practice participation ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Chargers' Gus Edwards: Effective runner in return
Edwards carried the ball 10 times for 55 yards in the 27-17 win over the Titans on Sunday.
It was a productive return for Edwards, who missed the previous four games due to an ankle injury. The bruising running back saw three red-zone carries, but most of them came closer to the 10-yard line as opposed to true goal-line work. Hassan Haskins was also given a chance to stick it to his former team, punching a one-yard touchdown in on the team's final touchdown drive that effectively ended the game. Edwards was looked at on the sideline by trainers briefly in the second half, and his production did fall off in the final 30 minutes, but that could easily be attributed to the Chargers wanting to get J.K. Dobbins the lion's share of the running back platoon.

Chargers' Gus Edwards: Active as expected Week 10
Edwards (ankle) is active for Sunday's Week 10 game against the Titans, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
Edwards was activated off injured reserve Saturday, so his active status isn't surprising. In his return from a four-game absence, Edwards will have a clear path to the No. 2 role behind J.K. Dobbins with rookie Kimani Vidal a healthy scratch. However, in his final two games before going on injured reserve, Edwards only logged 29 total snaps and nine carries in that slotting.
