Who Should I Start? Gus Edwards or Zamir White

Los Angeles Chargers running back Gus Edwards scored two touchdowns in a Thursday Night Football win over the Denver Broncos. Edwards ran the ball 14 times for 68 yards and added one catch on two targets for three more yards. It was the best Edwards has looked in a long time, as he ripped off a huge 43-yard run that completely changed the game's momentum in the Chargers' favor. Edwards first touchdown came on a one-yard goal line plunge in the first quarter and his second was on a five-yard run in the third. He did miss some time in the middle of the game with an injury, but was able to come back and actually looked better after his return that before he went to the sideline. This was by far the best game of the season for Edwards, who will get some extra rest before facing the New England Patriots on Saturday in Week 17.

The Las Vegas Raiders announced on Tuesday that they placed running back Zamir White (quadriceps) on Injured Reserve and signed quarterback Carter Bradley to the 53-man active roster from the practice squad in a corresponding move. The Raiders also signed quarterback Jake Luton and defensive tackle Tyler Manoa to the practice squad and released defensive tackle Marquan McCall from the practice squad. White is now done for the rest of the 2024 season with the move. The 25-year-old was in line for lead-back duties after Josh Jacobs left in free agency, but he fell flat with the opportunity and gave way to Alexander Mattison early in the year. White ends up being a massive disappointment in his third year in the league with 183 rushing yards and one touchdown on 65 carries through eight games. Sincere McCormick has become a bigger part of Vegas' backfield of late with Mattison also hurt.
