2024 Rush/Rec Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Following Blake Corum's departure and many key players in Michigan's offense moving on to the next level, Edwards will have plenty of opportunities to lead the reigning champs. The 6-foot-1 running back tied for fourth-most on the team in receiving yards this past season, and only one of the top five pass catchers in receiving yards, tight end Colston Loveland, returns as a to Ann Arbor in 2024. Edwards could thus be an even bigger factor in a passing game that exhibits several holes. The changing of the guard under center from first-round pick J.J. McCarthy to likely Alex Orji also means there could be added emphasis on the ground game. Edwards could be relied on heavily on the ground, especially at the start of the season, as Orji gets his feet under him in his first stint as a starter. Read Past Outlooks
Season-best performance in loss
Edwards had 14 rushes for 95 yards and one touchdown and hauled in all two targets for 23 yards during Saturday's 27-17 defeat versus Washington.
ANALYSIS
Edwards found the end zone on a 39-yard run in the second quarter, making it a 14-7 game in favor of Washington. The senior running back led the team in rushing yards while tying the team lead in attempts on the day, running for a season-high 95 yards against the Huskies. Edwards has had trouble getting things going in 2024, as he has topped 50 yards on the ground in just three of the team's first six games, and with fellow running back Kalel Mullings producing more efficient results on more volume to start the season, he will likely continue to split touches moving forward. Edwards' next opportunity will come when the Wovlerines travel to face Illinois following Saturday's bye.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Edwards is primed to emerge into a larger role heading into his sophomore season with Michigan. The former top-100 recruit was relegated to a very limited role as a rusher behind primary backs Hassan Haskins and Blake Corum in 2021; though, Edwards did finish as Michigan’s fifth-leading receiver with 265 yards on 20 catches over 27 targets last season. With Haskins departed for the NFL, Edwards will still likely slot in behind Corum in Michigan’s pecking order at running back. The Wolverines leaned back into the ground game this past season and will return three of their five starting offensive lineman while also welcoming highly coveted center Olusegun Oluwatimi via the transfer portal. Therefore, the Wolverines should once again figure to utilize a prolific rushing offense while relying on one of the Big Ten’s most dynamic running-back duos between Corum and Edwards.
