Who Should I Start? Keenan Allen or Gus Edwards

Monday, October 20, 6:42 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen looked ageless in the team's 38-24 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, catching 11 of 14 targets for 119 yards and a touchdown. He now ranks 13th in the league in receiving yards and third in receptions, reminding everyone why he's Herbert's most trusted target. After three quieter weeks, Allen thrived in a negative game script as Herbert threw the ball 55 times. Week 8 brings a quick turnaround Thursday night and a tough test against a solid Minnesota Vikings secondary, especially for an aging 33-year-old wideout. Still, Allen's route running, target dominance, and connection with Herbert make him a safe WR2 with WR1 upside, even on short rest.

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.
