Should You Start or Sit Gus Edwards in Week 12?
Gus Edwards has totaled 16 touches in his two games back from injury, but his value was always going to come via the touchdown plunges — and that role is not available at the moment.
Not only has J.K. Dobbins punched in five scores over his past four games, but Jim Harbaugh has clearly given Justin Herbert the green light to run, further removing touch equity for Los Angeles’ RB2.
Edwards is a version of Austin Ekeler but without the pass-catching prowess. Not attractive to you? That’s because it shouldn’t be. Edwards’ lack of versatility this season (1.8% of touches have been receptions) is even more glaring than in years past (4.1%), making him a name you can leave on your wire.
