Ravens RB Gus Edwards has a "minor" hamstring strain, according to The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec. He reports that Edwards will be questionable for the Monday night visit to New Orleans in Week 9 "but hasn't been ruled out." The uncertainty on Edwards makes Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill each worth a look in waiver runs this week. We'd target Drake first, after he worked ahead of Hill each of the past 2 weeks.
Ravens RB Gus Edwards' hamstring injury is considered "minor," NFL Network's Ian Rapoport hears. "If he misses time, it’s likely just a week or so," Rapoport adds. Baltimore has a Week 10 bye, so it seems most likely that Edwards is held out of next Sunday's game vs. the Saints. But we'll keep an eye on him when the Ravens return to practice on Wednesday.
Ravens RB Gus Edwards suffered a hamstring injury in the 4th quarter of Thursday night's game vs. the Bucs. He's officially questionable to return, but we'd be surprised if he gets back out there. Edwards' absence leaves Baltimore with RBs Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill.
Ravens RB Gus Edwards (knee) is active for tonight’s game vs. the Bucs. He was limited in practice all week but figures to lead Baltimore’s 3-man committee backfield tonight, ahead of Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill.
The Ravens list RB Gus Edwards (knee) as questionable for Thursday night's game vs. the Bucs. He was limited in practice all week. Edwards seemed to escape Week 7 without a setback to that surgically repaired knee, so we're expecting him to play against Tampa. But check back around 7 pm ET tomorrow night to make sure he's active.
Ravens RB Mike Davis is a healthy scratch for today's game vs. the Browns. RBs Kenyan Drake, Justice Hill and Gus Edwards are up for Baltimore. Expect a 3-man committee backfield, with Drake our best guess as the leader.
Ravens RB Gus Edwards (knee) has been activated from the PUP list and will play vs. the Browns on Sunday. It'll be his 1st action since tearing his ACL in September of 2021. Even with RB J.K. Dobbins on IR, this Baltimore backfield is as muddy as ever. Edwards, Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill all have a chance to lead the way in carries this weekend. Our best guess is that Edwards will be limited in his return and that Drake will edge out Hill in terms of volume -- but none of the 3 is a safe Week 7 fantasy play.
With J.K. Dobbins headed for knee surgery, ESPN's Jamison Hensley says the Ravens "will rely on Kenyan Drake." He adds that Justice Hill "is back" for this week's game against the Browns and that Gus Edwards "could also be activated" from the PUP ahead of the game. But it sounds like we should expect Drake to run 1st in the backfield for at least Week 7. That's enough to make him the best bet for fantasy football rosters right now, with the understanding that this is a fluid situation.
Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins will be having arthroscopic surgery on his left knee next week. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that he'll miss the ensuing 4-6 weeks. That should leave this week's backfield to Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill, who put in full practices all week coming off his hamstring injury. Gus Edwards should be back soon as well and gains upside with Dobbins' status. All 3 Baltimore RBs are worth stashing where possible on fantasy football rosters.
Ravens HC John Harbaugh said there's a "possibility" that RB Gus Edwards (knee) makes his 2022 debut vs. the Browns this weekend. Edwards returned to practice a couple of weeks ago after his September 2021 ACL tear. He won't be a fantasy option out of the gate, but there's room for Edwards to carve out a role with RB J.K. Dobbins struggling to round into form off his multi-ligament knee injury.
Ravens RB Gus Edwards (knee) is set to resume practicing, HC John Harbaugh said Monday. Edwards is eligible to be activated from the PUP list at any time now. Don't expect him to play vs. the Bengals on Sunday night, but he's trending toward returning at some point in October. There's a path for Edwards to reclaim the #2 RB job in Baltimore, so he's worth stashing in fantasy leagues of 12+ teams.
Ravens RB Gus Edwards (knee) wrote on Instagram Thursday that he's "doing great and very close" in his return from last year's torn ACL. Edwards is out for at least the first 4 weeks on the PUP list, but it sounds like there's a chance he's ready come Week 5. For now, we're still only stashing him in fantasy leagues with an IR spot.
RB Kenyan Drake is signing with the Ravens, according to insider Jordan Schultz. Drake was dumped by HC Josh McDaniels and the new Raiders regime a little over a week ago. He turns 29 in January and, while he remained effective as a pass catcher last year, he averaged just 4.0 yards per carry and ranked 42nd among 77 qualifying RBs in Pro Football Focus' rushing grades. Drake is an insurance policy for a Ravens team still waiting for RBs J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards to get over their 2021 knee injuries. We'll see whether Dobbins is ready for Week 1. If not, the Ravens figure to roll with Drake and Mike Davis.
The Ravens have placed RB Gus Edwards (ACL) on the Reserve/PUP list. That means he'll miss at least the 1st 4 games of the regular season. His absence leaves room for J.K. Dobbins to operate as likely the clear backfield leader at least early in the season. We wouldn't be surprised, though, if Baltimore avoids overworking Dobbins off his own ACL tear. Mike Davis currently appears headed for the #2 RB role early in the year, though we'll see how that sorts out over the next couple of weeks.
The Ravens released RB Corey Clement. He lasted just a few weeks with the team. With RB Gus Edwards (knee) likely to open the season on the PUP list, the Ravens are currently slated to head into Week 1 with RBs J.K. Dobbins, Mike Davis, Justice Hill and Tyler Badie.
Ravens HC John Harbaugh tried to paint an optimistic picture of RB Gus Edwards' rehab in a Wednesday appearance on SiriusXM radio but basically conceded that Edwards won't be ready for the start of the season. "Gus is doing really well. He's kind of a patient rehab guy," Harbaugh said. "I don't know that he'll be the first week, but before the season's over I think he's going to be roaring and ready to go." We'll continue to monitor Edwards' progress. But, at this point, he's not worth a pick in most fantasy drafts.
