  • Placed on IR

    Edwards (knee) will be placed on injured reserve by the Ravens.

    Analysis: After previously losing both J.K. Dobbins (knee) and Justice Hill (Achilles) to season-ending injuries, Edwards is the latest Baltimore back to hit IR. In the wake of the team's string of backfield injuries, Latavius Murray is poised to join the Ravens' active roster alongside Ty'Son Williams and Trenton Cannon, while Le'Veon Bell and Devonta Freeman are candidates to be elevated from the team's practice squad.

  • Diagnosed with torn ACL

    Edwards sustained a confirmed torn ACL during Thursday's practice, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Edwards joins J.K. Dobbins as Ravens running backs to suffer such an injury, and Justice Hill also is out for the season with an Achilles tear, leaving the team painfully thin at running back. Ty'Son Williams is expected to step in as Baltimore's lead running back to kick off the campaign, with Trenton Cannon also on the 53-man roster and Le'Veon Bell and Devonta Freeman on the practice squad.

  • ACL tear feared

    Both Adam Schefter of ESPN and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network relay that the Ravens fear that Edwards suffered a torn ACL during Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: After losing both J.K. Dobbins (knee) and Justice Hill (Achilles) to season-ending injuries, Baltimore now is poised to lose Edwards for an extended period. In that context, Ty'Son Williams now appears to be on track to head the team's backfield Week 1, with Trenton Cannon in reserve and Le'Veon Bell a candidate to be promoted from the practice squad in short order. Moreover, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic suggests that free agents like Latavius Murray or Devonta Freeman could be options for the…read more

  • Suffers knee injury

    Edwards suffered a knee injury in practice Thursday that the team fears is season-ending, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Edwards was set to be the primary running back with the season-ending knee injury to J.K. Dobbins. With Justice Hill also suffering a season-ending injury, Ty'Son Williams could lead the backfield in Week 1 if Edwards is sidelined.

  • In line for expanded role

    With the expectation that J.K. Dobbins is likely to miss the coming campaign with a knee injury, Edwards is poised to lead Baltimore's backfield heading into the 2021 regular season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Edwards has been effective in a lead role for the team in the past, and with Dobbins no longer in line to lead the way out of the gate this season, the 26-year-old -- who logged 144 carries for 723 yards and six TDs in 2020 -- is in line for expanded work, notably on early downs. Also currently in Baltimore's complementary/pass-catching back mix are Ty'Son Williams and Justice Hill (ankle).

  • Replaces injured Dobbins

    Edwards took two carries for 27 yards in Saturday's preseason game against Washington, while teammate J.K. Dobbins left early with a knee/leg injury, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The injury didn't look good, with Dobbins going down for a couple minutes before he was helped off by trainers and later carted to the locker room. Edwards didn't get much work Friday night, but he may now be the Week 1 starter and lead back in a road matchup with the Raiders on Monday Night Football (Sept. 13). The Ravens' other tailbacks are Justice Hill (who missed Saturday's game with an undisclosed injury), Ty'Son Williams and Nate McCrary.

  • Effective in brief showing

    Edwards ran for 28 yards on four carries in Saturday's preseason game against Carolina.

    Analysis: Edwards was effective as he almost always is. J.K. Dobbins likely is the clear lead back for Baltimore because of his uncommon talent, but Edwards might be an above average running back talent in his own right. Although not much of it will occur on passing downs, Edwards should be a steady off-the-bench contributor for Baltimore.

  • Not playing against Saints

    Edwards won't play in Saturday's preseason game against New Orleans, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Edwards' absence might mean extra work for J.K. Dobbins, but it's more likely the Ravens will keep their depth backs busy in the preseason opener. Apart from a 10-day stint on the reserve/COVID-19 list at the beginning of training camp, there hasn't been any report of Edwards missing practice time with an injury or illness. He may just be working his way back into game shape, still catching up with teammates that didn't miss the early portion of camp.

  • Co-starter for preseason opener

    Edwards is listed as a co-starter on Baltimore's depth chart for the preseason opener.

    Analysis: J.K. Dobbins has been expected to be the leader of the backfield this season, but Edwards carries enough cachet to warrant a significant role as well. The 26-year-old signed a two-year, $10 million extension this offseason and has averaged a strong 5.2 YPC over 414 career carries in three seasons, and he is particularly effective in short-yardage situations, gaining positive yardage at an 86.8 percent clip. Even if Dobbins is the snap count leader, Edwards projects to see plenty of work as well.

  • Back on practice field

    The Ravens activated Edwards from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Edwards tested positive for COVID-19 on July 27 and has spent the time since progressing through the league's related protocols, so Friday's session will mark his first on-field activity of training camp. The 26-year-old running back, who inked a two-year extension with the Ravens back in June, can resume operating as the team's No. 2 running back behind J.K. Dobbins.

  • Out 10 days on COVID-19 list

    Edwards tested positive for COVID-19 and will miss the first 10 days of training camp, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: If he doesn't have symptoms, Edwards could still practice before Baltimore's preseason opener Aug. 14 against the Saints. He signed a two-year, $10 million extension in June, and appears locked in as the team's No. 2 running back behind 2020 second-round pick J.K. Dobbins. With Edwards now temporarily unavailable, Justice Hill figures to step into that No. 2 role for the first couple weeks of camp.

  • Agrees to two-year extension

    Edwards and the Ravens agreed to a two-year, $10 million contract extension Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Edwards received a restricted free-agent tender from the Ravens in mid-March and now has extended his stay in Baltimore through the 2023 season. Even so, Edwards is likely set to serve as the No. 2 back in Baltimore's backfield behind second-year rusher J.K. Dobbins, who could be in line for a slightly larger share of the work in his second professional season.

  • Gets RFA tender

    The Ravens gave Edwards a restricted free agent tender Wednesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: General manager Eric DeCosta hinted at the transaction earlier in the week, but the team still hasn't specified which level of RFA tender Edwards will get. In the likely event that Edwards gets a second-round designation, he'll earn a $3.38 million salary in 2021, while the Ravens get the right of first refusal on any offer sheet. He's one of four backs on Baltimore's offseason roster, joined by J.K. Dobbins, Justice Hill and Ty'Son Williams.

  • Likely staying in Baltimore

    Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said Tuesday that he expects to retain Edwards for 2021, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Edwards' status as a 2018 undrafted free agent allows him to become a restricted free agent after only three accrued seasons in the NFL. Given the comments from DeCosta, the Ravens are likely to either give Edwards a RFA tender or negotiate a contract to avoid the process. A second-round tender for $3.38 million should be enough to dissuade any other team from signing Edwards to an offer sheet, as the Ravens would get a second-round pick if they declined to match. An original-round tender, on…read more

  • Helps move the chains

    Edwards rushed eight times for 38 yards in Sunday's 20-13 wild-card win over the Titans.

    Analysis: Edwards' carry total trailed those of Lamar Jackson (16) and J.K. Dobbins (nine), but he nonetheless helped Baltimore rack up another 236 yards on the ground. As the power option in a relentless rushing scheme, Edwards should remain an important member of the Ravens' offense regardless of the team's opponent in the AFC divisional round next weekend.

  • Tallies 60 rushing yards

    Edwards carried the ball 12 times for 60 yards in the Ravens' Week 17 win over the Bengals. He added one reception for 10 yards.

    Analysis: Despite drawing no carries in the fourth quarter, Edwards reached double-digit rushing attempts for the second consecutive game to close the regular season. His role with the team has remained remarkably consistent, as he has now had between 139 and 153 total touches across each of his four campaigns. He has never surpassed 1,000 total yards, though his 852 yards from scrimmage in 2020 were the highest of his career. He'll likely continue to split duties in the Ravens' backfield with J.K.…read more

  • Good to go Sunday

    Edwards (back) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old was considered questionable with the back issue, but it won't prevent him from suiting up Week 17. Edwards is poised to split backfield work with J.K. Dobbins in the final game of the regular season.

  • Expected to play Sunday

    Edwards (back), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Official confirmation of his Week 17 status will arrive prior to the first wave of kickoffs Sunday, with Baltimore facing Cincinnati at 1 p.m. ET. If Edwards -- who was added to to the Ravens' injury report Friday -- is good to go, he would likely split work out of the backfield with J.K. Dobbins.

  • Added to injury report

    Edwards is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals with a back injury.

    Analysis: Edwards received the designation after the back issue limited his participation in Friday's practice. If Edwards ends up sitting out or gets his reps capped this weekend, the Ravens would likely lean more heavily on J.K. Dobbins as its lead option, while Justice Hill and Mark Ingram (illness, questionable) could get more work as backups.

  • Over 100 scrimmage yards in win

    Edwards rushed 15 times for 85 yards and secured both his targets for 37 yards in the Ravens' 27-13 win over the Giants on Sunday.

    Analysis: Edwards ended up pacing the Ravens in rushing yards, slightly outgaining Lamar Jackson (80 yards) and J.K. Dobbins (77 yards), the latter having exited the game briefly in the second half with a chest injury. Edwards' receiving yardage total also qualified as second on the team for the afternoon, and the third-year back now boasts four games with at least 73 yards rushing despite not having logged more than 16 carries in any of those contests.

  • Logs nine carries

    Edwards rushed the ball nine times for 42 yards in Week 15 against the Jaguars. He added two receptions for 36 yards.

    Analysis: Edwards led the Ravens offense on their opening drive, taking the first two handoffs of the game. However, he was ultimately out-touched by J.K. Dobbins 15-11. Despite the limited workload, Edwards had chances to produce, specifically taking a handoff to the two-yard line before being replaced by Dobbins to begin the second quarter. Similarly, Edwards broke off a 34-yard run early in the third quarter that ended five yards shy of the end zone, though Lamar Jackson ultimately capped the drive…read more

  • Adds two touchdowns

    Edwards rushed seven times for 49 yards and two touchdowns in Monday night's 47-42 win over the Browns. He also caught his lone target for four yards.

    Analysis: Edwards scored from 11 yards out during the second quarter, then scampered in from the 19 to begin the third. That brought his season total up to six touchdowns, all of which have come over his last eight games. Although rookie J.K. Dobbins again led the Ravens' tailbacks in carries Monday, Edwards still followed last week's 100-yard outing with another valuable display, putting him in fine form ahead of a favorable matchup against the Jaguars in Week 15.

  • Pops with 100-plus yards

    Edwards ran for 101 yards on seven carries during Tuesday's 34-17 win against Dallas.

    Analysis: Baltimore reached 200-plus rush yards for the 12th time since the start of 2019, while also posting the second-highest rushing output of any team this season (294 yards). Edwards was integral to attaining those distinctions, breaking off three runs of 20-plus yards against a Cowboys defense that has conceded more than 260 rushing yards on three different occasions this season. However, he only garnered one more carry than Mark Ingram in Ingram's return from a stint on the reserve/COVID-19 list.…read more

  • Among four active Ravens RBs

    Edwards is active alongside fellow running backs J.K. Dobbins, Mark Ingram and Justice Hill on Tuesday against the Cowboys.

    Analysis: During a Week 12 loss at Pittsburgh, the Ravens were without Dobbins and Ingram, who were on the reserve/COVID-19 list. As a result, Edwards and Justice Hill split the RB workload, with the former turning nine carries into 10 yards and one TD while the latter had 11 touches for 40 yards from scrimmage. The presence of Dobbins and Ingram on Tuesday further clouds how much work Edwards can expect.

  • Finds end zone in loss

    Edwards rushed nine times for just 10 yards but scored on a goal-line carry in the Ravens' 19-14 loss to the Steelers on Wednesday.

    Analysis: As his final line indicates, Edwards mostly had a miserable time finding running room against the Steelers' stingy defensive front. However, he did salvage his day from a fantasy perspective by powering into the end zone from a yard out with 2:07 remaining in the first quarter to turn a Ray-Ray McCloud muffed punt into points. Edwards' extended opportunity Wednesday came with both Mark Ingram and J.K. Dobbins still on the reserve/COVID-19 list, but with both players likely to be ready for…read more

  • Slated for starting role Wednesday

    Edwards is on track to serve as the Ravens' starting running back in Wednesday's game against the Steelers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Confirming a report from Michele Tafoya of NBC Sports, Rapoport relays that neither J.K. Dobbins (illness) nor Mark Ingram (illness) will be activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list ahead of the Week 12 contest. With top quarterback Lamar Jackson (illness) also sitting out while Robert Griffin steps in behind center, Edwards looks like the clear top candidate to dominate the carries for Baltimore.

    Edwards and the Ravens won't play Sunday at Pittsburgh after the NFL announced the game was rescheduled for Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Even with this game getting moved for a second time, Edwards is poised to lead Baltimore's backfield after both Mark Ingram and J.K. Dobbins tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday. Considering the Ravens rank second in the NFL in rush play percentage (51.9) and Edwards has averaged 5.1 yards per carry through two-plus seasons, he could have a productive outing Tuesday, assuming the game is played.

  • Increased role on tap

    Edwards is in line for an increased role Thursday against the Steelers after Mark Ingram and J.K. Dobbins were placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Jamison Hensley of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The Ravens' backfield depth is depleted in light of this news, but Edwards has shown he can handle an increased workload in the past. Edwards got the start against the Steelers in Week 17 of 2019 and took 21 carries for 130 yards. He also had his best game of the season to this point against Pittsburgh in Week 8 when he took 16 carries for 87 yards and a score.

    Analysis: Edwards was out-carried by J.K. Dobbins 15-3 and made no notable contributions to the outcome of the game. He did get one carry more than Mark Ingram, who has seen his role in the offense diminished. Even so, since Ingram returned in Week 10 against New England, Edwards has commanded only 10 rushing attempts across two contests.

    Edwards had seven carries for 42 yards and added one catch for 31 yards on two targets against the Patriots.

    Analysis: Mark Ingram was back, which impacted the snap distribution in the Baltimore backfield. Still, Edwards was effective when on the field. His snap share fell below 25 percent but Edwards is still seeing carries on a high percentage of his snaps. Put another way, Edwards has a 44.3 percentage of snaps with a touch, which is 63rd percentile among running backs. It's also worth noting that Edwards has gotten some work in the passing game the last three weeks; Edwards had three targets in six games…read more

  • Finds end zone in win

    Edwards carried the ball 11 times for 23 yards and a touchdown and caught both his targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Colts.

    Analysis: While he didn't gain much real estate, Edwards was able to run for a TD for the third straight game. All three scores have come since Mark Ingram (ankle) got hurt, and Edwards' fantasy value in Week 10 will largely depend on whether Ingram is back in the lineup.

  • Bigger role awaits sans Ingram

    Edwards and J.K. Dobbins are expected to take on elevated roles Sunday in Indianapolis with Mark Ingram (ankle) listed as doubtful for the contest, Daniel Oyefusi of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    Analysis: While Ingram was sidelined during last week's loss to the Steelers, both Edwards and Dobbins enjoyed productive days while splitting the backfield work. Though Dobbins outsnapped him 54-26, Edwards still carried 16 times for 87 yards and a touchdown. So long as the Ravens can at least keep the game competitive throughout, Edwards should continue to stay involved on the ground, though Dobbins' superiority as a pass catcher gives him the higher fantasy ceiling of the two.

    Edwards registered 87 rushing yards and a touchdown on 16 carries during Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Edwards was inserted into a prominent role Week 6 against the Eagles as Mark Ingram (ankle) exited after nine offensive snaps. The Miami product garnered a season-high 14 carries during a 30-28 win over Philadelphia, and Sunday he again set a 2020 best in that category while establishing a 5.4 yards-per-carry average. There's no guarantee Ingram returns next Sunday against the Colts, as he continues to recuperate from a high-ankle issue. In a scenario in which Ingram sits again, Edwards would…read more

Dobbins took on double-digit touches for the first time in his young career, though his output was nothing to write home about.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old back ranked second to Mark Ingram in Ravens carries, but his 3.6 yards-per-carry average ran contrary to the explosive 6.2 YPC clip he established Weeks 1 through 4. Despite the efficiency he displayed prior to Sunday, Edwards still resides within a workshare alongside Mark Ingram and J.K. Dobbins heading into a Week 6 matchup against the Eagles.

While he was on the field to close out a comfortable win, Edwards was also involved early on, earning two carries on the team's first offensive possession.

    Analysis: Edwards paced all Baltimore running backs in rushing Monday despite playing just 13 snaps and seeing just four carries. He is averaging 7.2 YPC through three games (18 attempts) so while Edwards is getting chunks of yardage every time he gets the ball, Baltimore's deep running back rotation is keeping his volume down. Edwards and the Ravens will head down the beltway to face the Washington Football Team in Week 5.

  • Leads team in rushing Sunday

    Edwards carried the ball 10 times for a team-high 73 yards in Sunday's 33-16 win over the Texans.

    Analysis: After rookie J.K. Dobbins scored twice in the Ravens' opener, it looked like Edwards had been relegated to the bottom of the depth chart, but only Lamar Jackson carried the ball more often Sunday than he did. There was plenty of yards to go around for the entire Baltimore backfield -- the team amassed 230 rushing yards in total -- but it could be tough to predict from week to week which RB will see the biggest share. Edwards could still be productive on limited touches in Week 3 against a…read more

  • Light work Sunday

    Edwards had four carries for 17 yards Sunday against the Browns.

    Analysis: The physical runner is facing added competition for carries this season with rookie J.K. Dobbins in the fold and Mark Ingram remaining the starter. Edwards still got some work, playing 25 percent of the team's total snaps. However, two of his carries came on the final drive when Baltimore was running out the clock. Edwards is effective on a per-carry basis, but he's locked into a very specific role that does not lend itself to much volume when Ingram and Dobbins are healthy.

  • Puts pen to paper on tender

    Edwards signed his exclusive rights tender with the Ravens on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Edwards has impressed with his reps through two seasons, averaging 25.5 offensive snaps per game en route to consecutive 700-yard campaigns on the ground. Overall, he's averaged 5.3 YPC and earned 29 red-zone carries in 27 contests. The Ravens nonetheless nabbed J.K. Dobbins in the second round of April's draft, creating a three-headed monster with Justice Hill in the backfield behind starter Mark Ingram. Edwards' experience and production could help him remain in the RB rotation, but he may be…read more

  • Affected by Dobbins pick

    Edwards' role with the team could take a hit after the Ravens drafted Ohio State running back J.K. Dobbins in the second round, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Baltimore placed a tender on Edwards in March, so he's presumably still in the team's plans to an extent, but the Dobbins pick is a strong statement that the Ravens are still looking to beef up the run game. Dobbins, a second-rounder, has a three-down skill set and projects to be the direct backup to Mark Ingram. If the Ravens are looking to reduce Ingram's workload to keep him fresh later in the season, Dobbins would get the first crack at the carries. Edwards is still uniquely effective in…read more

  • Retained for 2020

    Edwards will remain with the Ravens after the team placed a contract tender on the exclusive rights free agent.

    Analysis: Edwards is thus slated to reprise his role working behind Baltimore's top back, Mark Ingram. Edwards finished up the 2019 campaign with 133 carries for 711 yards and two TDs, to go along with seven catches for 45 yards. As long as Ingram stays healthy, Edwards isn't a strong fantasy lineup option, but the 24-year-old has been productive when given the opportunity, having maintained an average of 5.3 yards per carry over his first two seasons with Baltimore.

  • Underutilized in shocking loss

    Edwards saw three carries for 20 yards in the divisional-round loss to the Titans.

    Analysis: The Ravens surprisingly went away from using Edwards against the Titans despite the second-year running back ripping off 6.7 yards per carry. Edwards finished the regular season with 133 carries for 711 yards (5.3 YPC) and two touchdowns, proving to be a reliable option out of the backfield behind Mark Ingram and Lamar Jackson. He is set to hit free agency this offseason, but given his skill set and familiarity with the system, Baltimore will likely attempt to retain him.

  • Could see bigger role Saturday

    Edwards could be leaned on out of the Ravens' backfield Saturday against the Titans if Mark Ingram (calf) is limited or sidelined, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Edwards was the lead RB option Week 17 when Ingram rested a tight calf, totaling 22 touches for 132 yards from scrimmage. After the Ravens' first-round bye, Ingram didn't practice until Thursday, when he was limited, and received a questionable designation for the upcoming divisional-round matchup. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that Ingram is "expected to play," but Edwards is on hand in the event the former's ability to get on the field is at all compromised.

  • Piles up 132 scrimmage yards

    Edwards carried 21 times for 130 yards and caught one of two targets for two additional yards during Sunday's 28-10 win over the Steelers.

    Analysis: Edwards thrived as the team's featured back, rumbling for 6.2 yards per carry en route to a new career high in rushing. Perhaps the only gripe for Edwards' fantasy owners in this one was his inability to find the end zone, as backfield mate Justice Hill vultured a red zone touchdown from Edwards in the second quarter. Still, it was an excellent performance from the second-year back, who could play an expanded role in the team's divisional-round game if Mark Ingram (calf) is still limited by his…read more

  • Primed for increased workload

    Edwards is in line for more work in Week 17 with Mark Ingram (calf) ruled out against the Steelers.

    Analysis: Edwards turned in his second-highest rushing output of the season against the Brown in Week 16, taking 12 carries for 66 yards. Edwards is ripping off 5.2 yards per carry on the season and is now primed to take on the bulk of the rushing work for at least the season finale with Ingram sidelined. He'll likely cede passing-down work to rookie Justice Hill, however.

  • Effective after Ingram's injury

    Edwards rushed 12 times for 66 yards and caught his lone target for seven yards in Sunday's 31-15 win over the Browns.

    Analysis: Edwards took over as the lead back after Mark Ingram exited with a second-half calf injury. While Edwards got 12 carries to Justice Hill's three, it was Hill who scored Baltimore's lone touchdown after Ingram's exit on an 18-yard run. Even if Ingram's injury doesn't prove serious, he'll likely sit out against the Steelers in Week 17 with Baltimore having locked up the No. 1 seed in the AFC, but it's unclear whether coach John Harbaugh will opt to hand Edwards a workhorse role or limit his…read more

  • Rips off long run in win

    Edwards had five carries for 35 yards in Thursday's 42-21 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Baltimore turned to Edwards to close things out Thursday, giving him three carries in the second half. Edwards has been effective when given opportunities, averaging 5.2 yards per carry, but his workload has been inconsistent. He's only seen double-digit carries twice all season and both of those instances came during blowouts. Edwards also has little involvement in the passing game with just five targets, keeping his weekly floor fairly low. He and the Ravens will travel to Cleveland to take…read more

  • Muted role in close game

    Edwards had four carries for 20 yards in Sunday's win over the Bills.

    Analysis: The Ravens have played close games in each of the past two weeks, and Edwards' playing time has suffered as he's combined for 10 carries for 35 yards in that span. Meanwhile, Mark Ingram and Lamar Jackson have been taking on the bulk of the rushing workload. That said, with Baltimore checking in as two-touchdown favorites for Thursday's game against the Jets, there's a chance Edwards' workload ticks up in Week 15.

  • Limited to 22 yards in win

    Edwards ran for 15 yards on six carries and added a seven-yard catch during Sunday's 20-17 win over the 49ers.

    Analysis: Predictably, Edwards' usage and efficiency dropped precipitously when forced to face off against a stout defense in a close game. After beating up on the Texans and Rams in back-to-back blowouts, Edwards, and the Ravens offense as a whole, struggled against the 49ers. A similarly tough matchup awaits Sunday in Buffalo, though the Bills have been gashed at times in the run game, surrendering 4.5 yards per rush -- 21st in the league.

  • Rumbles for 55 yards

    Edwards ran for 55 yards on 14 carries during Monday's 45-6 win over the Rams.

    Analysis: The second-year back's 14 carries Monday were his highest total since Week 1, which was another Ravens rout. Coming off a game in which he posted impressive per-carry numbers against the Texans, Edward's usage against the Rams is sure to draw some attention, but context is important. Eleven of his totes came in the second half, with Baltimore having already built a three-score lead thanks in large part to the efforts of No. 1 RB Mark Ingram. Edwards certainly has the frame to be a bruising…read more

  • Scores long touchdown in win

    Edwards rushed eight times for 112 yards and a touchdown in the Ravens' 41-7 win over the Texans on Sunday.

    Analysis: Edwards put an exclamation point on the big win with a 63-yard touchdown rumble at the four-minute mark of the fourth quarter, marking his second rushing score of the campaign. His opportunity came as a result of game script, however, so expectations should be tempered, despite the big play. The second-year back hasn't seen double-digit carries since Week 1, and he'll be expected to continue in a clear complementary role versus the Rams in a Monday night Week 12 matchup.

  • Just four carries in blowout

    Edwards had four carries for 17 yards Sunday against the Bengals.

    Analysis: Even in a blowout, Edwards didn't factor into the game script much as he played just 11 offensive snaps, which marked a new season low. His four carries were his lowest since Week 2, when he posted three rushes for 11 yards. One reason for optimism regarding Edwards' stat line is that the Ravens ran just 45 plays and had the ball for a mere 23:49, so it's not as though the Ravens were leaning heavily on the other running backs. Edwards and the Ravens play host to the Texans in Week 11.

  • Vultures touchdown in win

    Edwards had seven carries for 27 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Patriots.

    Analysis: Mark Ingram (115 rushing yards) did most of the heavy lifting against a tough Patriots front seven, but it was Edwards who provided the lone rushing touchdown aside from Lamar Jackson's two scores. The 24-year-old is averaging 7.4 carries as a change-of-pace option behind Ingram, but he is rarely used in the passing game and Sunday's score was his first of the season. Edwards could see some extra work in a Week 10 matchup against the Bengals with blowout potential -- similar to the 14 carries…read more
