Ravens OC Greg Roman acknowledges what was obvious after J.K. Dobbins’ injury: Gus Edwards will get a much bigger workload. “He’s our kind of guy. He’s built for what we do.”

While it's not shocking news, it's still nice to hear for Edwards owners. The one knock on Edwards is his pass-catching, but as we've pointed out it's not that he can't catch the ball, he just hasn't been asked to. He's caught 18-of-22 career targets for almost 11 yards per catch. Getting Edwards more involved in the pass catching game will certainly elevate his fantasy value. Without proven backups in Williams and Hill, it's certainly possible Edwards sees some targets.

Ravens RBs Mark Ingram and J.K. Dobbins have tested positive for COVID-19 and will be placed on the reserve list later today, according to sources. All aboard the Gus Bus for Thursday vs. the Steelers.

Just when Dobbins seemed like he took over the team's RB1 role... As the tweet said, Edwards looks like he'll take over the RB1 role on what is a short week, in a tough matchup. The Ravens and Steelers play on Thanksgiving night so be sure to continue to monitor the situation. As of now, the game remains on schedule to be played Thursday night despite the outbreak for the Ravens, according to multiple sources. Hill could also get more work, especially as a change of pace and on passing downs.

Based on Sunday's RB snap counts for Ravens, J.K. Dobbins has assumed the lead back role and Mark Ingram could be getting close to being inactive on game days:

J.K. Dobbins 41 snaps (63%)
Gus Edwards 13 (20%)
Justice Hill 7 (11%)
Mark Ingram 6 (9%)

It's really not a surprise considering how Dobbins filled in when Ingram went down. Many who follow the team felt Dobbins would keep the RB1 job, and it looks like he has a solid grasp right now, especially since Edwards had just 13 snaps. Keep in mind it could have been a specific game plan and Edwards could see more of a workload in future games, but right now it seems Dobbins is the guy to own in this backfield.

Dobbins and Edwards pretty much split touches with Dobbins getting a 12-30-0 rush line and Edwards an 11-23-1 line. Both backs each caught two passes. The Ravens are at New England in Week 10 on Sunday night and Dobbins and Edwards owners will again be tracking the status of Ingram.
