Gus Edwards
Under 39.5 Rushing Yards (DraftKings)

EDITOR'S NOTE: This pick was made before J.K. Dobbins was ruled out on Sunday morning.

Edwards had a limited role last week, and I can’t imagine he gets too much run here in what should be a trailing game script for Baltimore.

The Bengals rank 14th in DVOA against the run, but they were without nose tackle D.J. Reader for six games this season. Having him healthy makes them much tougher to run on.

Cincinnati has allowed 4.6 yards per rush when Reader is off the field compared to 3.6 with him on it.

I’m projecting Edwards for closer to 30.5 rushing yards.
