Who Should I Start? Gus Edwards or Zamir White

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.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White has secured the No. 2 role behind rookie Ashton Jeanty, but his Week 1 usage was minimal. White played just 14% of offensive snaps and managed only eight yards on three carries, serving strictly in a relief role. The positive takeaway is that he has clearly distanced himself above Raheem Mostert on the depth chart, but with Jeanty handling 86% of the snaps and dominating touches, White's value is strictly that of a handcuff. Unless Jeanty misses time, there's little path to standalone fantasy relevance for White this season.
