Veteran Gus Edwards Faces Steep Climb for Fantasy Relevance at Age Thirty-One
Entering his age-31 season, Gus Edwards finds himself on the fantasy fringe after a down 2024 campaign where he managed just 3.6 yards per carry across 11 games. His days as a productive piece of a committee are waning, and our models project him as a highly volatile, touchdown-dependent option going forward.
In fantasy leagues, managers have largely moved on, as evidenced by his minuscule roster and start percentages, both sitting at just two percent. Without a clear path to high-volume work or any notable involvement in the passing game—having caught just three passes in 2024—his path to weekly utility is narrow.
He remains best viewed as a deep-league insurance policy who needs an injury ahead of him to warrant lineup consideration. Unless he finds a run-heavy offense willing to utilize him near the goal line, he can safely be left on waiver wires in standard redraft formats.
