Confirming a previous report, the Los Angeles Chargers released RB Gus Edwards Friday, March 7. The move allows the team to clear $3.125 million of salary cap space, according to OverTheCap.com.
Huddle Up: Edwards played in only 11 games last season after battling ankle injuries, scoring four touchdowns and gaining a career-low 365 rushing yards. He is unlikely to compete for a starting job regardless of where he lands next season but he could be a late-round flier in deeper fantasy leagues depending on his situation.

Los Angeles Chargers RB Gus Edwards (ankle) fully participated in practice Thursday, Jan. 9, and is not on the injury report for the Wild Card playoff game.
Huddle Up: Edwards' role in the offense will depend on if J.K. Dobbins is able to play in the game. He will see most of the work if Dobbins sits out and can be a flex option but probably will see limited work if Dobbins plays and would only be a possible flex option.

Los Angeles Chargers RB Gus Edwards (ankle) was limited during practice Wednesday, Jan. 8.
Huddle Up: Edwards did not play in the regular season finale but seems to have a chance to play against the Houston Texans. He probably will see a decent amount of touches if he plays and could be a flex option in some fantasy leagues.

Los Angeles Chargers RB Gus Edwards (ankle) was limited in practice on Tuesday, Jan. 7.
Huddle Up: Tuesday's session marks the first time in exactly two weeks that Edwards participated in a practice. It remains to be seen if he can ramp up enough over the next two days to get cleared to play against the Houston Texans. With that said, Edwards offers very little upside against a stout Houston run defense and should be avoided if possible in most playoff leagues or DFS contests.
