Gus Edwards Not A Strong Starting Option In Week 12

Saturday, November 23, 9:34 PM

Los Angeles Chargers running back Gus Edwards is not a strong starting option in Week 12's Monday Night Football matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Edwards will face off against his former team, but he comes into the game as the clear backup to starter J.K. Dobbins. Since coming off injured reserve, Edwards has seen a 25% and 16% snap share, totaling 16 carries for 82 yards without any passing game targets. Edwards remains an important part of the Chargers offense, but it hasn't and likely won't translate to fantasy value, especially this week against an elite Ravens run defense.

Dameon Pierce Good To Go For Monday

Saturday, November 16, 6:33 PM

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce (groin) has been removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 11 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Pierce is set to get back on the field for the first time since Week 8. He has been banged up this season and has only played in four games, but is expected to be the primary backup to Joe Mixon. The return of Pierce should take some of the workload off Mixon, but Pierce is unlikely to play enough to warrant starting in fantasy formats.
