Who Should I Start? Gus Edwards or Juwan Johnson

Friday, March 7, 7:32 PM

The Los Angeles Chargers have informed veteran running back Gus Edwards that he will be released in the coming days, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Edwards appeared in just 11 games in 2024, his only season with the Chargers, rushing for 365 yards and four touchdowns on 101 carries. With Edwards now a free-agent, the Chargers could have an entirely revamped backfield in 2025 with J.K. Dobbins also an unrestricted free-agent. There is a good chance the Chargers target a running back in the 2025 NFL draft in what is shaping up as a loaded class at the position. Edwards will now look to latch on with another team as an early-down and short-yardage grinder.

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson hauled in eight of nine targets for 89 yards in the Week 16 victory over the Jets. His eight receptions were his most since Week 1, and Johnson has maintained a steady role in the Saints' passing attack all season, recording either a touchdown or at least four catches in all but two games. With injuries across the offense and a growing connection with rookie quarterback Tyler Shough, he should continue to see a healthy volume of targets. Johnson projects as a TE1 against a Titans defense that ranks middle of the pack against opposing tight ends.
