BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues
OWNED IN: 18% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: I felt good about this pick when I drafted Edwards in a dynasty rookie draft and traded for him in an FFPC Startup draft back in May. I felt really good about it when he was announced as the starting X receiver for the team about a week ago. Now that Tyrell Williams is on IR, it's nice to see that he's finally getting on some fantasy radars before the final weekend of draft season.
Edwards has a great chance to not only outsnap and outproduce first-round pick Henry Ruggs on this team, he has a legit shot to be a top-three rookie receiver in 2020. That's saying something considering the depth of this class. It isn't the most pass-happy offense, finishing 22nd in pass plays per game and 25th in pass play percentage last year. For that reason, we can't expect huge volume. Nonetheless, Edwards could be a solid WR4 with a high weekly floor.
He has also turned into one of the biggest risers over the past week, as Edwards was announced as the starting X receiver for the Raiders even before Tyrell Williams was placed on IR. The target share could be significant from the jump, especially against a Panthers team that allowed the 11th-most fantasy points to WRs last year.
