Sell. Sell. Sell. People are going to figure out that offense and Edwards is a typical two down bruiser.

I sold him for early 3rds in both leagues I owned him. (Both were 16 team IDP leagues so 3rds in those are like 2nds in standard leagues)

The problem is no one is buying. We're talking about a rookie running back that just rolled off 700 yards in 6 games to finish the season and people are lucky to get a 3rd round pick in most leagues.

The odds are certainly on him disappearing into obscurity, but he's a better dart throw than a 3rd round pick imo. He essentially had a half season of Jordan Howard's rookie year.

Agree. I'd rather hold and see knowing his value may very well disappear like Thanos snapped his fingers, as opposed to selling for a random third.

Honestly, I'd probably take a flyer on him at that price.

I agree. If I was an owner, I would rather hold than take a 3rd. If I was not an owner, I would certainly take a shot on Gus for the price of a 3rd.

Use him as a sweetener to get a bigger deal done. Of course, individually you're not going to get a haul. But, there would be enough intrigue to tip an offer from a skeptical maybe to an accept.

He was a nice pickup for people this season but we've seen Baltimore cruise through RBs like it's no one's business lol.

Sell for whatever you can get. If the Ravens draft a RB, and I bet they do, he'll be the new guy to own.

This is a pattern. Edwards is what Collins was. Learn from history so you don't repeat yesterday's mistakes. As a non owner, I wouldn't pay a 3rd round pick for him. I'd add if he was on the ww for the cost of a roster spot. If I owned, I'd sell for what I could get or hold and hope for the best.

I agree with what the above is saying, but I also like to zig when everyone's zagging. I'd pay a 3rd as of right now.

I think a 3rd is about the right price. I could see the case both buying and selling there, though I would be more a seller than a buyer at that price

I agree with this - I'm not selling for a 3rd - he is a way better dart throw than what you get there. not sure about his pass catching skills since he hasnt done much of it. But there is something about him I like.

Ravens backfield seems totally unpredictable at this point, so I won't even try.

But just on principle, I think it's usually a good idea to try to sell high on 2-down backs.

Are we really talking about a 3rd for Edwards? Come on man!!! Take a look at your 3rd rounders in general. You would rather roll with those odds than Edwards?? I think he is better for a player to player trade value than rookie pick value.
