GUS EDWARDS NEWS

Not involved much in win Edwards tallied six carries for 27 yards in the 34-27 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

Impact J.K. Dobbins once again saw the lion's share of the workload (11 carries, 56 yards and two touchdowns) and even Hassan Haskins was given multiple goal-to-go totes, only for the second-year back to flounder with the opportunity. As a result, Edwards' fantasy value is likely dependent on the health of Dobbins, who has already surpassed his career high in carries (134) and has under four yards a carry in four of his past six contests.

Cleared for Week 11 Edwards (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday night's game against the Bengals after practicing fully Friday.

Impact Edwards was on the field for 15 snaps and logged 10 carries for 55 yards in his return from a four-game absence in this past Sunday's 27-17 win over the Titans. While the running back was limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday, his return to a full session Friday paves the way for him to be available this weekend. Though Edwards isn't a factor in the Chargers' passing attack, he figures to earn enough carries alongside J.K. Dobbins (39 snaps, 15 carries in Week 10) going forward to merit attention in deeper fantasy formats.

Limited at practice Wednesday Edwards (ankle) was limited at practice Wednesday.

Impact In his return from a four-game absence due to an ankle injury, Edwards logged 15 snaps, while carrying the ball 10 times for 55 yards in a 27-17 win over the Titans on Sunday. With no reported setbacks, it's plausible that Edwards' limitations Wednesday were a case of workload management in the wake of his prior layoff. The running back now has two more chances to upgrade to full practice participation ahead of Sunday night's game against the Bengals.

Effective runner in return Edwards carried the ball 10 times for 55 yards in the 27-17 win over the Titans on Sunday.

Impact It was a productive return for Edwards, who missed the previous four games due to an ankle injury. The bruising running back saw three red-zone carries, but most of them came closer to the 10-yard line as opposed to true goal-line work. Hassan Haskins was also given a chance to stick it to his former team, punching a one-yard touchdown in on the team's final touchdown drive that effectively ended the game. Edwards was looked at on the sideline briefly in the second half and his production did fall off in the final 30 minutes, but that could easily be attributed to the Chargers wanting to get J.K. Dobbins the lion's share of the running back platoon.

Active as expected Week 10 Edwards (ankle) is active for Sunday's Week 10 game against the Titans, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Edwards was activated off injured reserve Saturday, so his active status isn't surprising. In his return from a four-game absence, Edwards will have a clear path to the No. 2 role behind J.K. Dobbins with rookie Kimani Vidal a healthy scratch. However, in his final two games before going on injured reserve, Edwards only logged 29 total snaps and nine carries in that slotting.

Trending toward returning Sunday Edwards (ankle), who is still listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Titans, was activated off injured reserve Saturday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact As a result, Edwards will likely miss the minimum four games after injuring his ankle back back in Week 4. It'll be interesting to see just how much work the 29-year-old sees with the emergence of rookie Kimani Vidal and the established bell-cow role of J.K. Dobbins, who has 70 carries over the last four weeks.

Questionable for Week 10 Edwards (ankle) practiced fully Friday and carries a 'questionable' game status for Sunday's contest against the Titans.

Impact The Chargers designated Edwards for return from injured reserve Wednesday, and the running back could resume action as soon as this weekend if the team elects to activate him by Saturday afternoon. If Edwards does rejoin the mix in Week 10, in his return he'd presumably work in a complementary role in a Los Angeles backfield that's led by J.K. Dobbins and also includes sixth-round rookie Kimani Vidal.

Limited in return to practice Edwards (ankle) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.

Impact Edwards returned to practice Wednesday after having his 21-day window to be activated from injured reserve opened. He could return to game action as soon as Sunday's game against the Titans, but the Chargers would first have to add Edwards back to the 53-man roster in an official move. Regardless of Edwards' availability, J.K. Dobbins should continue to lead the team's backfield Sunday.

Practice window opening Week 10 Edwards (ankle) had his 21-day practice window to return from injured reserve opened Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Edwards hasn't played since prior to the Chargers' Week 5 bye, but he's eligible to return from IR and will resume practicing ahead of the team's Week 10 home game against the Titans. He'll presumably be added back to the active roster prior to the expiration of the 21-day practice window, at which point Edwards should slide in as the backup to J.K. Dobbins based on their usage early in the season.

Lands on IR Edwards (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Edwards' workload had tailed off in Weeks 3 and 4 recording nine carries for 28 yards in the two prior weeks before the bye. J.K. Dobbins has been a revelation as the team's preferred starting running back, but with Edwards out it's possible rookie sixth-round pick Kimani Vidal could see his first significant action at the NFL level.

OCTOBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Sunday Edwards (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Impact With Edwards out versus Denver, Hassan Haskins and Kimani Vidal are candidates to see added complementary snaps this weekend behind top RB J.K. Dobbins. Edwards will thus target a potential return to action Oct. 21 against the Cardinals.

OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Third straight DNP on Friday Edwards (ankle) remained a non-participant in practice Friday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Impact Edwards has missed all three of the Chargers' practices, so he'll have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Broncos, and it wouldn't be surprising if he's ruled out on Friday's injury report. Hassan Haskins and Kimani Vidal could see additional opportunities behind J.K. Dobbins if Edwards doesn't play.

OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Misses another practice Edwards (ankle) didn't practice Thursday.

Impact Edwards also missed Wednesday's session, so he'll need to practice Friday in order to have a chance to play Sunday against the Broncos. If he's out or limited this weekend, Hassan Haskins and Kimani Vidal would be in line to see added complementary snaps behind top RB J.K. Dobbins.

OCTOBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Misses Wednesday's practice Edwards (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday.

Impact Edwards logged a 25 percent snap share in the Chargers' Week 4 loss to the Chiefs, while carrying the ball six times for 19 yards in the contest. Following his team's bye, Edwards is dealing with an ankle issue that makes his status for Sunday's game against the Broncos worth monitoring. If he's out or limited this weekend, Hassan Haskins and Kimani Vidal would be candidates to see added snaps behind J.K. Dobbins.

OCTOBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Season low in snaps Edwards carried the ball six times for 19 yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Chiefs.

Impact The burly running back played a season-low 25 percent of the snaps, which is an alarming number considering the game script was relatively favorable for Los Angeles' run-heavy approach. J.K. Dobbins didn't do a whole lot with the extra carries (14 for 32 yards), but Dobbins has proven to be a significantly more reliable target out of the backfield, which has limited Edwards' fantasy viability.

SEPTEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Dramatic drop off in carries Edwards carried the ball three times for nine yards in the 20-10 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

Impact It's a dramatic fall off in touches after tallying 29 carries through the previous two weeks, although he's averaged under three yards a carry on those looks. It's entirely possible the gameplan was heavily reliant on the elusiveness and vision of J.K. Dobbins, who didn't do much with his 15 carries (44 yards), but the uneven split is something to monitor with Dobbins excelling to start the season, Sunday notwithstanding.

Dramatic drop-off in carries Edwards carried the ball three times for nine yards in the 20-10 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

Impact It's a dramatic fall-off in touches for Edwards after he tallied 29 carries through the previous two weeks, although he averaged just 2.9 yards a carry on those looks. It's entirely possible the game plan was heavily reliant on the elusiveness and vision of J.K. Dobbins, who didn't do much with his 15 carries (44 yards), but the uneven split is something to monitor with Dobbins excelling to start the season, Sunday notwithstanding.
