Gus Edwards is set to take over as the starting running back for the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 13 against the Atlanta Falcons, following an injury to J.K. Dobbins. While Edwards has had limited opportunities this season, he may see increased usage in the coming weeks. Analysts suggest that his physical running style could lead to more carries, especially in short-yardage situations. However, rookie Kimani Vidal is expected to take on more passing down responsibilities.
