Who Should I Start? Gus Edwards or Clyde Edwards-Helaire

Friday, September 29, 5:38 PM

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (head) was removed from the injury report, suggesting he'll suit up for the AFC North battle with the Browns. The 28-year-old cleared concussion protocol and practiced fully during the week, so it didn't seem as if he was in any real danger of missing this one. Edwards has been Baltimore's most productive running back this season, totaling 145 yards and a touchdown off 29 carries. While Justice Hill (foot), who is questionable, or Melvin Gordon III should see some action versus Cleveland, Edwards is expected to remain the primary ball carrier. However, he's still a risky option for any fantasy setup in Week 4.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire may be called upon for a more noticeable role if Isiah Pacheco (hamstring) is absent or limited for Sunday's game. The 24-year-old hasn't done much of note with his 10 touches this year, but could be looking at an advantageous setup in Week 3 versus the 0-2 Chicago Bears, who were pierced for fantasy's overall RB1 and RB9 finishes out of Aaron Jones and Rachaad White respectively in the first two contests. Chicago's defense has caved in as a run funnel unit in the early goings, and Edwards-Helaire could check in as a reasonable RB3/FLEX bet as the favorite for base work, but only if Pacheco is inactive for this one. Whoever handles the bulk of K.C.'s backfield touches should display plenty of touchdown upside with the Chiefs projecting as heavy favorites to come out on top.
