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
Moderate showing in loss
Edwards had 10 carries for 52 yards and caught 1 of 2 targets for one yard during Saturday's 38-17 loss against Oregon.
ANALYSIS
Edwards was the more efficient runner in the Michigan backfield against the Ducks as fellow running back Kalel Mullings managed just 16 yards on eight attempts on the day. Edwards also surpassed Mullings in rushing attempts for the first time since Week 3, though a one-game sample size doesn't necessarily indicate a shift in the pecking order. Still, the workload distribution will be worth monitoring moving forward, starting in a road battle against unbeaten Indiana this coming Saturday.

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.
