Los Angeles Chargers running back Gus Edwards couldn't find too much room to run in a Week 1 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. Edwards ran the ball 11 times, gaining 26 yards. He caught his only target for a two yard gain. Edwards led the team in carries, but saw fellow running back J.K. Dobbins pick up 135 yards on 10 carries. Edwards will always have a role in this backfield, but if Dobbins stays healthy, Edwards could be in much more of a support role than expected.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) has officially been placed on the non-football illness list according to Field Yates. The veteran back will now miss at least the first four games of the season leaving the backup role wide open. Carson Steele, the undrafted free agent, has made the most noise as the backup so far, but the signing of Samaje Perine becomes even more important as well. They would become a bigger part of the passing game than previously expected and could be underrated producers in PPR formats given the volume. Their opportunities are going to fluctuate with each game plan, so their value is a bit better in deeper leagues or dynasty formats in terms of Steele.
Still trying to decide between Edwards and Edwards-Helaire? Check on the latest news to make sure both players are active and healthy. Our PPR projections show that Gus Edwards is projected to score 11.0 points this week while Clyde Edwards-Helaire is projected to score 0.0 points.
