Week 10 vs. Buffalo Bills
Chase Edmonds wasn’t amazing against the Dolphins last week, with 88 total yards, but he got 25 carries and three receptions, putting to rest any doubt about whether or not he’ll be a workhorse back with Kenyan Drake injured. Edmonds gets enough touches to be viable in deep leagues – particularly PPR formats – even when Drake is healthy, but if Drake misses a second straight game, Edmonds has huge upside with 20-plus touches.
This week, Edmonds faces a Bills defense that ranks 23rd in aFPA to opposing running backs. Assuming Drake is out, Edmonds should be in for a full workload and excellent fantasy numbers. If Drake is a surprise active, consider Edmonds a low-end RB2, but with Drake expected to miss another game, Edmonds should be considered a top-level RB1 in all formats. Start him.
