Chargers RB Gus Edwards punched in two TDs in Thursday night's win over the Broncos. He plunged in a one-yard score in the first quarter and then made a nice cutback to hit pay dirt from five yards out in the third quarter. Edwards finished the night with 68 yards on 14 carries, with the majority of that production coming on a 43-yarder in the fourth quarter. That was Edwards' longest run since 2019.
Be careful about overrating this game from Edwards. The TDs were just his third and fourth of the season -- although three of those have come with RB J.K. Dobbins out over the last four weeks. Edwards' 68 rushing yards were a season high. And, outside of the 43-yarder, his other 13 carries totaled just 25 yards.
Dobbins said recently that he plans to be back for Week 17. If he returns, Edwards will be totally off the fantasy radar. Even if Dobbins remains out, Edwards will remain a low-floor fantasy play.
